Bill Keller's (NYT) Email Correspondence on Wether... →

I found this email correspondence really interesting. If the left and right could discuss openly more like this (well, more towards the end of these emails) I think we could get a lot farther than we are now. Just because you don’t agree with someone’s spiritual beliefs, political stance or the way they order a hamburger does not mean that you have the moral right to degrade them....

Pasta Primavera →

I made this last night and it was amazing last night, but even BETTER as lunch today. I treated my coworkers to the leftovers because I only made half a batch, but it was gynormous. I’m for one am a huge fan a pasta with lots of sauce, but this recipe has so much flavor and texture that you just don’t need sauce at all. I served it with fresh grated parm and a little salt and...

Meal Planning Phase

I start the next-to-no-processed food (gotta have my greek yogurt!) diet in 2 days and did some meal planning. I figured I’d make enough to have left-overs so I only chose 3 main dishes and some snacks, because who doesn’t love snacks: Penne with Sun-dried Tomato Pasta and Veggies (I will try to find the best pasta I can, gonna hit up the ole’ T. Joe’s) Baked Chicken with...

Baby Steps

Before I go full swing in August, I’m giving myself some small stepping stones. 1. Begin an herb garden. I’ve already gotten some new plants for my new apartment. So this one shouldn’t be too hard. I want to have rosemary, thyme, oregano and dill. 2. Go to the Farmer’s Market. I here great things about the farmers market in Athens. It’s better, fresher produce...

Goals

LOVER. I come from a large family of food lovers. These things...

me: um
guy: yeah, all this is for my mother. that for yours?
me: yeah
 [guy bounces his basket and bumps me in the ass]
guy: sorry! that was me. i mean, it wasn't me [makes ass-grabbing gesture], but it was me. ha! it's publix though, right? so shopping is a pleasure. a plea-sure.
me: oh yeah
guy: "oh yeah."
check-out man, to guy: will that be all for you?
guy: [to him] "oh yeah." [to me] ha! have a good mother's day. [leaves]
check-out man, like mid-70s or something with deep Chahhhhlston-esque drawl: that boy was hitting on you.
me: pardon?
man: you didn't even give him a chance.
me: oh
man: you're a little uptight, aren't cha?
me: i guess.
man: you guess. well here. i'll make it easy on you then. now i'm hitting on you. what are you going to do about that?
me: ...
man: i'm serious.
me: well, you're a little old.
man: ouch. that was blunt. no free coupons for you.
me: sorry
man: no, now it's out there, and you can't take it back. [winking at girl behind me] hey there, how are you doing?
me: ...
man: go on now, dahhlin, you've had your chance.

I was able to convince the University of Georgia to raise my GPA by .25 points, allowing me to graduate magna cum, by illustrating how my tattoos were motivated by my passion for Art History.

How many tattoos do you have? Which is your favorite? I have 5. I love all of them, but if I had to choose…probably my first one. I got it to remember someone really special to me and for that it will always be at the top. However, I have to say that the one I just got on the inside of my upper arm is pretty baller and gives me a lot of street cred, so that one might be my...

going Medieval on my Hist of Pop thesis

“Strange Fruit” remains one of the most renowned politically and socially influenced jazz songs of all time, inspired by photographs of Southern lynch mobs, a Northerner’s antiracial activism and the intimate personalization of Billie Holiday, the blues performer who brought the work its fame.

Ork neighborhood posters are awesome...

… and I want the Seattle and Philadelphia ones, since I’ve lived in both cities. And I might limit my further stomping grounds to only cities with Ork neighborhood posters and then I’ll be a badass collector of neighborhood posters and everyone will want to come see them. So Portland is sounding pretty good right about now. I mean, Anthony Bourdain went, so it’s gotta be...
