Baseball is a sport of unwritten rules. One team’s pitcher “accidentally” dings another player, and so the opposing team usually takes a shot at a player from the first team when given the chance. Tit for tat. Don’t steal bases when you’re way ahead – it’s too cocky? And don’t steal if you’re way behind […]
Month: May 2017
Books – May Roundup
I am being so slow with my book-reading this year, but there’s good news to report as far as my yearly goals, and I have a feeling things will pick up soon. FINISHED: The Great American Whatever by Tim Federle This is a YA book, and I’m not entirely sure where I heard about it. […]
Service – Blue Apron (Family)
So after I posted about how the Boy and I have been using (and still enjoying!) Plated earlier this year, my friend E emailed me to say how interested she was in that post. She was particularly interested because she has been a user of Blue Apron, but was frustrated at the volume of food […]
Restaurant – Green Pig Bistro
So I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but most times during a month, I’ll have a recipes following two regularly recurring events – college friend potlucks, and book club. Theoretically this would have been a day when I should have done a recipe for book club, but for the first time we decided to go […]

TV – The Handmaids Tale (Hulu)

But we now live in a world where organizations which provide healthcare services to women are being rapidly defunded, health care bills in which pregnancy and rape could count as “pre-existing conditions” which […]
Game – 5 Minute Dungeon
I read a lot of blogs. It helps me feel like I’m staying up to date on pop culture, and also helps me find out about interesting things happening in my city, in the country and around the world. One of my “geeky” blogs I read is the aptly named Geek and Sundry – home […]
Recipe – Chocolate Walnut Bourbon Pie
This past weekend was the Kentucky Derby, and there are a lot of traditions associated with it. Horses, fancy/funny hats, mint juleps, and Derby Pie. Or perhaps I should say, Derby-Pie®, because it’s a registered trademark of Kern’s Kitchen in Prospect, Kentucky who are the only ones allowed to advertise with that name. The recipe is […]
