I just got back from a 10 day trip to London and Paris. We walked at LEAST 6 hours per day and on our one full day in Paris, 8 hours. My hero boots were the Ahnu Chenery in black. I’m almost 50 and these boots have walked miles in Portland, Oregon, NYC and now London and Paris. They look chic with jeans, leggings and…

Just came back from a Eurotrip. Our outgoing flight was overnight. No sleep. Arrived dead exhausted, arrived at our airbnb and crashed for two hours...got up and walked (a lot) ate and went back to bed at around 8 pm euro time. Slept 14 hours. After that, everything fell into place. No other jet lag and we adjusted…

You mean like The Bachelor? Addicts! And also idiots.

Marijuana demonification is an Old White Guy thing. When a friend’s grandson went off the rails (hint: he’s on some serious drugs and also has severe mental health issues, probably schizophrenia), my dad blamed it all on pot. My husband and I tried to inform him that pot.doesn’t.work.like.that. He still doesn’t get…

Ima gettin out my sewing machine...(I have a hard time with the zipper foot so your expensive custom pair of jeans may not have a zipper. Handsewn industrial snaps are so bespoke these days, or so I’m told or have told myself to tell you.)

The closest I’ve found are a pair of Lucky Jeans I bought at TJ Maxx...but you know the other HELL that is jeans? Your body changes all the time so what fits one year may not fit another. I’m not even talking about weight gain, just body changes.

I’ll have to look into those. :)

Preach. I’m not sitting down and having my waistband hit my (rather small) tits EVER AGAIN!

Two words: miso butter.

Yep! Since we’ve been mostly vegetarian in our house for the past 17 years, people have stopped asking me (basically), “How do you EAT/SURVIVE without meat?” because I’m a really really good cook and I know how to make vegetables taste great.

My daughter married in 2015. She didn’t legally change her name. We address mail to John Smith and Mary Brown. This day and age, no one bats an eye. The good thing is that you don’t have to worry about presenting marriage certificates (or divorce decrees) to verify name changes when you register to vote or go to the…

My husband had it done at least 15 years ago. He’d worn super thick glasses since he was a child and as an adult suffered through red sore eyes from contacts; he has sensitive eyes. After the operation, he left the doctor’s office, walked outside and said he felt like he’d had different eyes in his head. The next day,…

It’s a Tank Top Dickie. A Tickie?

We are pescatarian, mostly vegetarian. I do like to throw in some vegan meals because I kind of like the challenge of reinventing recipes and discovering new products. I always tell folks — Don’t do nothing just because you can’t do EVERYTHING. Small changes make a big difference in your own life/health and can also…

Chao slices are really good as a substitute for melty sandwiches. I make a vegan mushroom reuben with the Chao slices and with all the other flavors going on (the meaty mushrooms, the tangy sauerkraut and the sweetness of the dressing) the Chao melts and adds a mild cheesy fattiness that perfectly compliments. Even if…

Would be interesting to know how many Trump voters eat hummus. Despite hummus being fucking EVERYWHERE for at least the past five years, my 70+ year-old parents had never tried it until I served some at a gathering, along with homemade tzatziki and baba ganoush. Of course they loved it. But that hasn’t encouraged…

Oh you poor dear. When I gather with my friends there’s way too much amazing amazing food and more than enough drink and everyone needs to uber home. Seriously, we try to outdo one another with the food, so you’d better bring your best game, or at least some good wine or beer. Either/Or.

It’ll all get better once they deport the Messicans!

What did he do to deserve being born poor. That’s what I want to know!

It’s magic. And also I’m lucky and I can lay hands. Got any warts you need gone?
