Is anyone else disturbed by this?
I Love Egg song

So my big news is that I really really am going to Iceland. Woohoo! I don't have the whole itinerary planned yet, but it's only a week. I think it will include lots of Reykjavik, plus a little sightseeing in the West and South. Certainly not skipping Thingvellir, Geysir, the Blue Lagoon. I'm trying to...

It is, in fact, a fraternal order of douchebaggery, only available to those who have passed the trials and tribulations of urban yuppiedom.

I am alive, really.

The interim saw me through much spotty internet and a trip upstate. I thought things might slow down in July but maybe I need to learn to say no to work a little better. The fun thing is that now that I have some distance from college and I'm not writing letters that aren't really from me, writing doesn't feel like...

This time I promise I won't make you look at pictures of what I'm eating.

I am getting ready to be ridiculously busy. Starting Thursday, I may not have any days off until April 20. (Wow. I should do laundry tomorrow because I might not get the chance otherwise.) But I love it. I'm already working on the show, reading sides in auditions and conducting...

I am not sure what games I want to play yet. I have only played a little bit of the following: GTA:San Andreas, Rockband, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, and Guitar Hero. I did have fun playing those ones though.

I may want to buy cheese from you when/if I go up there. I can't seem to find aged Gruyere in my neighborhood for the life of me. There's a cheese market in Chestnut Hill, a 15-20 minute train ride, but I get all of my other groceries from the co-op and it's a bit out of the way.
but it's also a cheese that's not very bad to travel with. I'm sorry, but life really is lacking something when you don't have any aged Gruyere.
downedcity:
thanks.
I actually don't complain about this much, but for the last 10 or so years, I've just notice the same patterns even when I think I really had a chance with a girl. I just became tired and jaded.

So it's been over a month and that's lame.

Unexpectedly good: liverwurst and ginger sandwiches, openfaced on rye.

Also try sweetbreads w/ bacon and granny smith apple a la The Oakroom's New Year's Eve menu. They paired this with a nonobjectionable Riesling, which I find to be a rare and lovely thing.

All I want to talk about is food. I'm so hungry, and...

Hello.

I am procrastinating on my brother's Christmas present. Argh. It is literally exactly half-done. But I'm in a good mood and enjoying the day.

I've been busy, and not just in the "I got my hair done" kind of way. I officially have three jobs now, in addition to the important things I do for myself and don't get paid for. Working, crocheting, getting...

I got really good news today. An old friend who was lost has been found! This makes me happy. I don't know much more than this myself, but it makes me happy.

There are no lost causes.
Miracles do happen.
People have a way of finding home.

Show mercy.
Be kind.
Take care of each other.

I wish everyone who reads this peace and warmth.

Oh new post.

I went out to the farm this weekend. It was nice to hear what rain sounds like when there are no buildings to get in the way. Ate a lot. Made sausage.

I completed my first skein of yarn today. Handspun by me, 100% angora. I'm so excited. I'm going to put it in a scarf for myself. I never make things...

Been doing lots of cooking recently. Asterisked items available at farmer's market--what you buy at the store will taste stale compared with the stuff at the farmer's market. Buy local whenever possible!

Nicely spicy corn relish: an amazing condiment for almost anything
3 ears raw corn*
one handful raw jalapeos*
cilantro to taste*
coarse (sea or kosher) salt to taste
white wine vinegar
Cut kernels...

RE: this comment

I do have a vegan cook book that has some good baking recipes (I've tried the cookie recipe in it) but the cupcakes looked so good! They turned out to be ok. The frosting was really good but the cupcake itself crumbled faster than a 3000-year-old scroll! I had to eat them over the sink or else the crumbs would be everywhere. shocked

Who's a bad internet friend? That would be me.

How have you been, hon? Those recipes all look fantastic. Especially the lavender chicken!
