So even though we are floating through the worst summer storm in a summer with a LOT of rain, Evan and I had to go to grocery store. And there behind the fish counter was salmon. You may or may not know my *slight* salmon obsession. Until recently I was afraid to cook it myself, because I am picky as hell and didn’t want to ruin it. But then for mother’s day I learned how to poach it. Today I tried poaching on a small scale for the first time. YUM! and almost instant dinner. So here was my impromptu [...]

And maybe if you’re, say, a redheaded [...]

I know where I’ll be this Thursday Night – maybe you’ll join me? I’ll be seeing S.J. Tucker (also known as Sooj) in concert! You say – who is this person? What is her music like?

I heard her live at Wiscon a few weeks ago and even though she was sick her performances were excellent. I can’t wait to see what she’ll be like at full health. I am [...]
