I was going to bake a banana bread this morning with all of my severely overripe bananas, but the lazies got me, so I’m going to make it tomorrow. I found a recipe where you roast the bananas before pureeing, the butter is browned, and it has buttermilk and/or sour cream. It looks a bit tastier than the standard…

My fave pic of my boys ever. Which reminds me of the cover of Stepbrothers. But they are real brothers.

this is all very helpful. thank you! i could seriously get down on something mango scented.

I’m headed to a potluck brunch with my friends tomorrow and I’m making homemade cinnamon rolls with orange cream cheese icing. I hope they turn out well and I can get some pretty pics for my blog.

I have nothing to recommend, because I’ve never smoked weed once in my life. But several people I’m very close to are regular smokers. I’ve mentioned this once or twice around Jez, but my abusive father smoked daily, so the smell is an emotional trigger and I can’t stand to be around it. But I’m somewhat curious about…

My birthday was Monday, and my friends showed up in a big way. As a lifelong introvert who historically has been let down on things like birthdays and get togethers, it was an amazing turnout and I felt really loved. I also got new tires for my car, at a ridiculously low price through a friend who knows someone who…

This is unrelated to porn, but it reminds me that my senior year of high school, I was the school mascot, dressed up like a horse. Every football game, they would introduce the marching band and its three directors, who I KID YOU NOT, were named Mr. Dick, T. Cox, and R. Wang. I giggled in my horse suit every single…

nope. i keep it at 1 tsp of regular salt, and then a sprinkling of sea salt on top.

my hip hop loving, music snob boyfriend will unashamedly admit that Cherish the Day by Sade is his favorite song. He may or may not have wooed me with her music.

about 10 years ago, i worked a couple of weeks as a production assistant on a local cable access cooking show, and used the $400 i made to buy a professional series kitchenaid mixer. i was a broke college student and it physically pained me to spend all of the money on the mixer, but it was literally the best…

I double the brown sugar to white sugar, too. I also slightly reduce the amount of flour (it calls for 2 1/4 cups...i find that 1/4 cup unnecessary), double the vanilla, chop bars of semisweet and milk chocolate instead of using chips, and sprinkle the tops with sea salt. It’s like a whole different cookie while not…

at the beginning of december, i decided to get serious about losing weight. i started eating much healthier (almost keto in terms of low carb, but trying to cut down on dairy so a lot less cheese and cream and stuff.) the weight started coming off, and it was amazing how much i started taking care of other things. i…

I know that it is now Sunday Afternoon, and no longer Saturday Night, but I was busy last night baking carrot cake and now I hope people are still catching up on all the discussions from last night. As usual, my brain has 900 different things going on at one time, so I’m just going to dump several of them here. My…

my exact words for the past 15 years: “the only thing i really felt when my father died was relief.” i’m not one that ever uses the word blessing, but him dying was a blessing on my family.

Fave.

i don’t use pods myself, but we do have a keurig at one of my client’s offices and i’ve thought about stashing some there for the one day every week when i’m there.

they do!

yeah, it sucks, but that’s the risk of creating a product for public consumption. i try to just think of it as marketing. lots of people got samples and raved about them, and a lot of people took my card, so maybe some future orders? i can hope.

I love my host, too, and he’s now friends with our whole trivia team. It’s what gives me hope that being a host might lead to new friends and good people in my life!

a lot of bars and pubs have them in most cities. i’m in austin and we have three or four different companies in town that do trivia in multiple bars on most nights of the week. most places seem to be bars that serve food and maybe live music sometimes. check out those types of places? hope you find a good show!
