Soapbox Sunday: You Do Know You’re Speaking Out Loud, Right? 18 Aug 2013 | 11:20 pm
I just need to vent a little spleen about a weird scene that happened when we were out to dinner last night. George and I went to a local restaurant, and it’s a fairly small one, so bear in mind that...

Once again I have come to the entirely inescapable conclusion, after seeing it once more with my very own eyes, that Lake Superior is, indeed, one great frigging lake. Some day…sommmmmmme dayyyyyyy I...
Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary and Olives 13 Aug 2013 | 11:10 pm

Ahhh, summer! Salads! Light eats! No-cook meals! The body-image-terror-inducing moments of having to put on a bathing suit in public! Though salads can, admittedly, get boring. It’s true, I’m af...

This week at Where’s My Backpack?, Ailsa asks us to meet the challenge “wild”. Which is incredibly convenient because I just came back from a week on the road/on Minnesota’s north shore/in the woods/...

It’s a good thing I’m not high maintenance, despite what the number of shoes in my closet might indicate to the contrary. Because if I were, I might have insisted that we go to a different hotel than...
