It feels a little silly to say that I’m proud of being a quarter Irish, because on one hand, it’s not like I had any say in that, and on the other, the Irish side of my family were Protestants, and they came here a really long time ago. But still, I like to celebrate [...]

Take a ti-di-dip from me
I’m catching up from all the work I missed yesterday, so I’m going to make this quick: Fuji Apple + Kellogg’s All-Bran Crackers, Muli-Grain, which have a new great taste, replacing the old ASS taste they evidently used to have, = An explosion of flavor and love in my mouth that is no longer just [...]

Contact
Recently, Birmingham and I got back in touch.

Even though we still have the same relationship problems, (he won’t even think about just fucking proposing [...]

Spring Can’t Come Soon Enough (Like my last date?)
Here are 5 things that I’m going to love when winter is finally over: If I have an itch on my arm, I can just scratch my skin instead of trying to reach it through a layer of coat, sweater and undershirt. When “Patience” by Guns and Roses comes on the radio, I can whistle [...]

Pumpkin with a Vengeance
On Friday, I used a recipe from this cookbook to make these really great pumpkin cookies. It was the process of making the cookies that made me think I should get back in touch with the vegan / stigmata guy. As you may remember, one of my stated reasons not to pursue him further into [...]
