Most people mark the milestones and memories of their lives in terms of events: first kisses, graduations, job promotions, marriages, births, deaths…the list is as endless as those happenings with which humans associate meaning. I, on the other hand, measure my days and decades by recalling what diet I was on when something happened. Junior [...]

Fried Capers? Get Your Own!
April 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment · FoodLife
Growing up in a small town (with equally small grocery stores 8 miles away), there wasn’t a whole lot of food adventure going on in mom’s kitchen (unless you consider the times she and dad went to town and my sis and I used that time for our own kitchen kamikaze antics. More on that [...]

Best Infomercial Lie…Ever
April 17th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
I’ve been a little screwed up these past two days. Not like that–unless you listen to my mother–but at the moment, I’m referring to my internal clock. Whenever I come west, it takes me about a day or two to get settled into the time difference. During those times when Ohio time (5am) wakes me [...]

Billy Bob Thornton and Mashed Potatoes
April 11th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
Top 5 Billy Bob Thornton Weirdnesses I actually tolerated and attributed to common, typical celebrity weirdness… 5. A fear of antique furniture, mostly French (wonder if that includes French-Canadian dining room tables with spots of mashed potatoes?) 4. Fear of flatware (I hate washing forks, but I’m certainly not scared of a steak knife…) 3. [...]

I’m off to Vegas for the week tomorrow morning, bright and early at 6am. (Not so early considering I get up around 4:30 most days to write, but early to be functioning in public.) My attempt yesterday to get things together to pack fell short when I decided to conserve energy by watching soaps. In [...]

Regis & Kelly Dis Peeps
April 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments · FoodLife, candy
Being gainfully employed (and grateful to be, given these economic times) at a job that robs me of nearly all the functional daylight hours of my life, daytime TV holds a great deal of mystique for me. In the days I’m home, I always have plans to write, cook, and sleep. As it ends up, [...]

Peep Mashups at CandyBlog
April 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Blog Bites
Cybele over at CandyBlog has it goin’ on. Love this girl’s foodventures. And considering I’m a massive Peep-a-holic, her post on Peeps Mash Ups had me cracking up this morning! I wonder if she fell down the stairs with a glass jar of green beans and knocked herself silly when she was three, too….hmmm….

Doesn't Share (donuts) Well With Others
April 10th, 2009 · Comments Off · FoodLife
Most of my life, I’ve been the odd girl out. I hate shopping, own barely 10 pairs of shoes, would rather spend an evening with a book and a glass of wine instead of at a bar and I find Brad Pitt utterly disgusting (especially with a five-o’clock shadow). After doing some genealogical research to [...]
