Gordon collects action figures. (Please don't send him any. He already has pretty much everything.) When a new package arrives to the house, he almost always informs me that the purchase is a "preorder." As in, it wasn't a recent splurge, but something that was paid for long ago. I don't care if

Cooking: Tips and Tricks
Do you have any cooking tips or tricks? I just have the usual home cook stuff. Let’s see. Um. Giving cooking advice is always slightly controversial. For example, I do not cook our pan-seared steaks in a bath of butter. One, we don’t need the extra calories and saturated

Closet Questions
This weekend I bit the proverbial bullet and tackled my closet. I hadn't cleaned my closet in 5 years. It doesn't seen to bad until you consider that when we moved, I simply transferred the hangers from one house to the other. Some of my clothes were so old, they could've gotten their own

Tea and Hammering
::taking a figurative hammer and hitting the holiday project:: Get! Into! Shape! I should do that to myself. I haven't worked out in 2 weeks. I haven't walked either. It is super crappy. It's like Portland, Oregon weather over here, grey and dull and depressing. We mostly have two seasons:

Catching Up
::waves:: I hope everyone had a lovely holiday and/or a lovely weekend. First things first, Popeyes turkey. Yes. The answer is yes. The turkey was amazing, moist, fork tender, and delicious. Notes: Thaw at least 3 days ahead in the refrigerator. It comes completely frozen, like a rock. I

Tuesday Before Thanksgiving
It is Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Outside is rainy and cold. We have a fire going. It's Sookie. The old dog loves the fire, so she will go and lay in front of the fire place and whine sadly at us when the fire doesn't magically happen. It's the saddest

The odd one out
In the year and a half I’ve had the privilege to be your blog mod (how time flies!), a few of you have asked me where I come from, since I live in England but I’m not British or a native English speaker. Transylvania, Ultrasylvania, or Überwald (if you’re of the Pratchett persuasion).
