There was lots of dancing at Foster The People at The Greek. And pot smoking. And E. And faux lesbians and a few real ones too.

Sit Your Bad Self Down
We were at a concert in Oakland. I’d always wanted to see a show at the Paramount, and with my friend playing, it was the perfect opportunity. We’d have good seats for good music and good ambiance. Dinner reservations for eight people at a chic restaurant nearby. Overpriced fish and head cheese....

Christopher Chandler
Fortune Magazine has announced the creation of the Legatum Fortune Technology Prize, which will give a $1 million annual award for efforts to aid poverty through technology. Legatum is the investment vehicle of Christopher Chandler, who with his brother Richard is one of my favorite little-known...

Days Are Like Diamonds
Why that title popped into my mind, I'll never know. I was looking at it as a 'cherish every moment' kind of title - having heard the phrase somewhere before. Then I googled it. John Denver "Some Days Are Like Diamonds." I guess I was right. Sort of. I've been trying to look at this ...

I did use bacon grease to saute these up last night.
I hated them as a kid and even as I learned to enjoy other veggies I thought I didn't like growing up, these little nuggets never made it to my plate. Not until I was forced to make them last Thanksgiving for some guests from the UK. Last night was the first time I've ever cooked and eaten them without coercion. They were yummy.

I'm All Grown Up - Apparently.
I now eat Brussel sprouts for dinner. With a nice blush rose wine.

Martha's Chocolate Brownies
In honor of Fat Tuesday, I thought I'd post my favorite chocolate brownie recipe. I made a batch of these yesterday, swearing up and down that these were just for Lily and Branko. At least that was the plan. I made the brownies at 4 PM and I made it until about 11 PM until I had one. Well, two. ...

My cooking weekend
Since I started blogging and tweeting about food, I've discovered so many wonderful home cooks doing exactly the same thing. I don't think I'll ever need to buy another cook book or watch Food TV again. Here are a few gems I've stumbled across that I think I'm going to try out this weekend. Crep...

Every change has it's opposite
Dropped a bit off my medicine pile last night - backing off of Celexa. This morning seems more foggy than others. I am just not focusing like I want too. I'm not depressed, just not shiny/happy/bouncy. There is a thickness in my head - I'd rather do anything than concentrate on the tasks at hand....
Ohhh, I like Shakrgruvthing! LoveShak is also a good one...but might be used on the internet already. But LoveShak-PM might not be!

Halloween fun!
We had our first Halloween OHIO party last weekend. It was a success! I was a very VERY old cougar - complete with bling, large hat, cane, and temperment to match. Stooping over all night was challenging, but the effect was awesome. I got to chase the Jedi all night! (Ben)

Wedding Reflections
In an interesting juxtaposition of timing, two months before my 25th wedding anniversary one of my dearest friends got married. Not only did it give me a chance to see and remember what it's like to be full of hope, so heartbreakingly sweet and also slightly naive, but it gave me a chance to thi...
