There was much rejoicing when I got that to meringue. And I’ve only made it one other time since then.

I have a tendency to kill my yeast. Usually it’s too hot of water. I’ve gotten better, but I don’t do bread very often.

I read somewhere that baking was good for your mental health, as was knitting. I should really find this study because they’ve clearly never seen me when my bread refused to rise and I just decided to cry and drink the cooking white wine on my kitchen floor surrounded by spilled flour and dirty dishes.

So destroying statues from traitors and terrorists (the confederacy) is bad. But destroying archaeological sites from Native Americans and pre-Columbian sites (you know where you actually learn about history or sites that are important to a group of people for religious reasons because they had been used for…

Didn’t Gawker have a hipster or hobo photo collage every friday? BLUE STATES LOSE! http://gawker.com/338560%2Fchristmas-in-hipsterville

I’m assuming it’s going to be Angela be she’s self-promoting. But if it’s Gilda, I will be really impressed (and jealous!)

Right now, I’m re-watching Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman as my cross stitch background noise. I remember loving it as a kid. There are a lot of problems that I didn’t pick up on as a kid, but Joe Lando is still dreamy.

I will remember that! Its hard to find good cross stitch shows.

I can’t get over the dubbing on cable girls. I wish that they’d just left it in spanish and done subtitles like they did with The Time In Between.

The historical inaccuracies of the costuming and hair bug the shit out of me! But I will still watch because I got hooked and now I need to know what will happen. Plus, I can do my cross stitch and watch without feeling like I’m missing anything by not looking at the screen.

I remember telling off an 8 year old and his mom when her son threw a stick into Mammoth Falls at Yellowstone when they tell you not to throw anything into the water. The mom didn’t really care, ergo the kid didn’t care.

Please tell me that Lea is okay? I felt so bad for her after the car accident.

But I think they probably have the worst plastic surgery of all the housewives, collectively. They all look so shiny and so tight, but angular. It’s unnerving.

Seriously! Stop relegating these better shows to Saturday mornings. Melbourne is fantastic.

Is there a prestige in New Zealand for having a French PA? Angela said it like I should be very jealous and all I could think about was the language barrier and how nothing would ever get done.

Oh gosh. I’m so glad that I’m not missing anything. I just couldn’t take Kelly being a hose beast to Shannon. I don’t know what it is, but I really like Shannon. So I stopped watching after the second episode, but every know and then I have regret that I might be missing something. Apparently not.

I watch it on the Bravo app.

I broke up with NJ last season and I’ve never looked back. I can’t stand Teresa and I just couldn’t bring myself to watch it anymore.

Target has hot dogs?

You can’t marry dogs because they aren’t people! As much as I would love to be able to have a dog for a life partner (claim her on my taxes and any puppies as dependents, not to mention how much cheaper it would be if she was on my health insurance instead of doing separate pet insurance. Maybe get a “who’s a good…
