In 1983, as a 12 year-old babysitter I snooped in the bedside table at our neighbor’s house (my piano teacher) and found their Joy of Sex books. Snooping around their hippie house taught me what my super-strict parents NEVER would. I watched all kinds of naughty things, like betas of Blade Runner (my favorite), Duran…

And in case one hasn’t seen it, check her out in Sleater Kinney’s No Cities to Love video. 

The best body money can buy. Good for her.

Can’t agree with the Trump W on the economy. I expect to see negative fallout from GOP policies.

Trump, the self-made multi-billionaire, couldn’t pony up for a decent meal because money can’t buy fucking class. Stop making lame excuses for him, and pretending like you know what Obama would do.

Of course he presents her heavy foreign accent as utterly charming, only because she is a hot, white lady. 

Someday Lady You’ll Accompany Me was the only one that I actually really liked. Freaks and Geeks resurrected it nicely.

Circa 2005 I bought a fondue set at Urban Outfitters. We invited two couples over (no swinging!) and had an absolute blast. This did pre-date smartphones so we engaged with each other for several hours as we moved through the bread to the meats and finally the chocolate course, and while messy, totally worth it. We…

Top 5 favorite actresses of my generation. Adore her.

Easy and delicious. Had plenty of powdered sugar left so stored it for next confectionary, no reason not to. 

It is not an easy watch, but one of my favorite cinematic moments of all time is the scene where they do the Charleston into the pool. When George tells Mary “I’m not very good at this” and then perfectly executes it, cracks me up every time.

I reverse that. Watched It’s a Wonderful Life last night while doing my cards, I own the DVD and watch every year. Now that my son is old enough, a Christmas Story has become required watching, but I only half watch.

I just made a test batch as I plan to serve it to guests tomorrow. Amazing, thank you for putting this in my life. Found everything at this great asian market in our town, I am not a huge mayo fan but Kewpie is pretty damn tasty! And I am now a potato starch convert. I am serving the chicken with Pea Tendril Salad…

My son and I are doing cookies tonight, think I am going to have to make these. At the moment I am test batching the Karaage chicken recipe.

Anchor is the absolute best, I look forward to consuming it every December. It is like a meal, though.

I’ve been to the Gorey museum on the Cape a couple times now, not a huge place but some great artifacts in there. Looking forward to this book, my mother would love it.

Ha. I feel you completely. Right after college, I lived with my first husband in a cabin his mom owned near a lake in Blowing Rock, N.C. The house was completely taken over by mice. They were everywhere, and somehow my two cats and his siamese always chased but never seemed to kill them. I would awake in the middle of…

That works - thank you!

It’s so lovely with tea, it’s pretty popular in Ireland for that reason. Never baked one myself, would love to know her recipe. I’ll have to check to see if there is a version in my Great British Christmas Baking Book.

That is one of the funniest headlines ever. Love, a Tar Heel
