Here’s the thing. I really don’t get the point of Memorial Day in this country. We are typically off from work, unless we work in an industry that sells something that can go on sale on Memorial Day of course.
We cook out, camp out and shop our hearts out. What we don’t seem to [...]

Sage and I had a blast making this cake. The cake itself is very chocolaty, as you can tell from this prizewinning recipe. The frosting is a ganache that I whipped up with some powdered sugar. I saved some of the original stuff for the mud puddles. The sprinkles are cows, which I thought was [...]

Last weekend, we went to the zoo. Big whoop, I know, but I wanted to put a picture (that I actually took) in this post. I’m still loving the new camera!

Of course, I felt a bit scared! What on earth had happened that the cops [...]

Obviously, I should not start a cooking blog. Even though they stuck to the baking sheet, breaking many, Sage and I had fun making them. They look a bit like red and blue starfish, don’t you think? I just need to stick some cute little eyes on…
No flags here. I have “issues” with both flags [...]

I stopped thinking about politics.
I started thinking about ways to earn money instead. I found myself abandoning sites like TruthOut and reading Dosh Dosh as an unlikely alternative.
This all sounds very selfish and all, but it has worked out for me rather well. I’ve made several thousand more dollars than I would have [...]

I found these images at Good 50×70, a website that features graphics done to promote social issues. It’s an excellent site.
I just know that last one was inspired by Swimmy!

So it appears that Bush’s trip to the Mideast is making headlines today. Doesn’t he sound like quite the champion of human rights?
n fact, in his speech he sought to reach out to the people of Iran, saying: “You’re rich in culture and talent. You have the right to live under a government that [...]
