Oh dear me, my friends. As I’m sure has never happened to you, I, on this fourth Sunday of Advent, am a bit buried. I got as ahead as I could, tried to keep my expectations reasonable, thought things were going pretty well, then BAM reality check! It will take a bit of a miracle to … More {pretty, funny, happy, real} edition with lots of lists
Okay, I will share with you one bit of utterly superfluous culinary fun. Advent is quite the season for fun saints’ holidays, which the Catholic and Catholic-lite among us will gleefully use as an excuse to make vaguely appropriate holiday-themed sweets. I wanted to make every single St. Nicholas cookie, and was dying for some … More Stir Up thy Plum Pudding
Um, has it really been nearly a week since I last posted? Because it has been a week full of things I could be blogging about. And that’s just the food, not to mention all the Feelings about things. But blogging and knitting are, sadly, mutually exclusive activities. And even holding back on the typing, I’m … More Bwuh… A Week?
I hate to bring it up, but Christmas is in fourteen days. December is in the double digits, and things are getting serious. Our Christmas responsibilities are pretty minimal this year. We aren’t doing cards; instead we’ll do a baby announcement/family update letter in April. We’re not bothering with a tree ’till Advent 4. And … More Clearly I Don’t Take Christmas Seriously
So way in the heck back in May, when school had just gotten out and I had a brief window of time and energy to try out all the projects and that had been brewing in my head all that busy semester, I started an experiment. I had been gluten-free since January 1, with pretty … More Where I am on the Gluten Train (Short Answer: Sourdough)
The week before Thanksgiving marked the receipt of our last regular CSA box from Penn’s Corner. Now it’s almost halfway through December, and I’m still catching up with food from before Halloween! So go the holidays. Forgive me for not remembering much of what happened to earlier foods; to spare you a lot of “I … More CSA-ccountability, Month #7 – October/November
Short post today, since I am personally not done resting this Sabbath. And by “resting” I mean “completely cheating” since I’m going to go play more Secret of Monkey Island (TM). (An aside for the nerds: I laughed out loud at the solution to the tethered-underwater problem. It was a joke about inventory puzzles during … More Moment of Cheese
We are pretty excited about Advent around here. Not only is this the first year we have a kidlet old enough to share some advent traditions with, but this is the first year in four that Advent hasn’t been shared with the End of Semester Press. It is hard to get your Liturgical New Year … More All my Advent Thoughts
Uf, I feel terribly behind on blogging. On this site I don’t feel like a two week absence is really worth comment, but yesterday I listed out all the posts I have been wanting to write, and I really am terribly behind. There’s gluten experiments to update you on, veggies to report, advent fun… even … More {pretty, funny, happy, real} – year’s end edition
