Posted on 08/18/2009 by chick

Looking back over my old blog posts, I find that I miss the Vonnegut Marathon and Sunday Stories. I’d like to bring those features back in some way. I don’t know if I’ll have the time, though. I suppose I … Continue reading →

Recipe Madness

Posted on 04/18/2008 by chick

Over the years I’ve noticed that we almost never follow recipes exactly. For example, one of our Mexican recipes calls for black beans cooked until done, the cooking liquid, and green bell pepper. I always substitute those ingredients with canned … Continue reading →

Signs of Thought

Posted on 04/17/2008 by chick
