A few changes in the works…
I have decided to create a second blog for recipes and other kitchen “stuff”. I just couldn’t figure out how to nicely organize recipes with the other things on this blog so separating them seemed to be the thing to [...]

Don’t Drop the Soap

I’m not sure what words to put around this, so I’ll just drop it in your lap and let you come up with your own.
Don’t Drop the Soap
“…slip glass into a mob boss’ lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse’s desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the Shower [...]
Not one of the flock…

Last night during our usual faceoff between Young and the Restless and Holmes on Holmes, Oprah came on.
Last night’s show was the beginning of a campaign to get people to stop smoking. She was even going to have that Oprah-made-famous doctor on the show that always goes for the extreme shock factor. You know, the [...]
Is this thing on?

I recently became Chairman… er, Chairwoman… dangit, Chairperson of the Board of the Florenceville Curling Club.
Whatever we decide to call the position, I’m it. It’s a little daunting for a few reasons.
The club is old and really needs renovations. The kitchen needs overhauled and the bathrooms need updating. We’re even talking about laying a cement floor under [...]

FDA Declares Cloned Meat, Milk Safe
First of all, let’s forget that I don’t eat meat, ok? I do eat dairy products so this does affect me.
One word comes to mind when I think about animal cloning.
WHY?
What pressing reason is there to clone a cow? I haven’t caught wind of the cattle shortage that must be sweeping the [...]

Mr. Bacon vs. Mr. Tofu…
I think you’re dead inside if you don’t find this at least slightly amusing!
Look at that skinny bacon… there’s nothing to him!
I think there’s little question as to who the ultimate fighter is in this case!
Photo collection of best-kept secrets

Wired sponsored an article yesterday, highlighting photographer Taryn Simon’s new book An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar. The article shows eleven of the book’s images.
The difference between this and any regular photo collection is that these were photographs taken of some of the most restricted, most top-secret places in the world: White tigers suffering from [...]
Bumps and grinds

I don’t normally post on a Saturday morning but here I sit in my gym pants with my cup of coffee, pumpernickel french toast (a la my hubby) warming my belly, my blog … all attempts to keep my vacuum and mop in the closet just a little bit longer.
Ahh, procrastination.
You know, as hard as one [...]
C is for Cookie and … Impulse Shopping
Posted in CBC, Food, Just life on January 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
CBC News reported yesterday that a study recently done in Singapore suggests that the smell of a chocolate chip cookie can cause a shopper to stray from their intended path, throw their budget aside, and make impulse purchases. Although the study was done with cookie-scented candles, it does go on to say that any trigger of [...]
Two months smoke free!

Just when I think I’ve kicked the nicotine addiction square in the junk (tee hee), I have a difficult day that brings me back to reality and reminds me of the powerful hold it still has on my junk.
If I had junk.
Which I don’t.
As of about 10 pm last night, I have been exactly two [...]
