Dear Selwyn, Sorry things are so yucky for you right now with the ex being a douche bag. Here is the recipe for the amazingly wonderful Cream Cheese Brownies to help you drown your sorrows. I would send you some but you live in Australia and they would taste wretched by the time they arrived. […]

Or rather, I love money.  I would like a whole lot more of it.  But I hate thinking about it.  I loathe paying bills.  I don’t like worrying about investments or retirements.  I just hope for the best.  So the whole global money crisis?  I kind of understand it, but I usually just keep going […]

I’m sorry I didn’t post this earlier, but this is today’s Groupon for Austin (don’t tell me you aren’t slightly interested!) Did you notice the name of the place offering this class? The Brass Ovaries. For reals. You’ve only got a few more hours until this one expires, ladies.

I’m sort of weird about my feet.  I have issues.  I don’t like them touched.  No pedicures, no massages.   I polish them myself and keep them looking just fine, I think–even though my toes are short and stubby and rather like baby carrots. (Last year, though, a nice looking older man came running after […]

When my husband and I decided to move to Austin a few years ago we did what most everybody does; we flew down ahead of time and looked for a house.  Let’s just get one thing out of the way first: I’m super, duper, incredibly picky about houses.  One reason is because we were moving […]

To those of you who have been wanting to know how to make the white sandwich bread that I showed a couple of days ago;  I have some good news and some bad news.  First the good news: you can make this in a bread machine (well, the dough part, at least).  Yay!  I love […]

My kids have been bugging me for months to watch a bunch of YouTube videos by some German guy named Flula. Apparently he lives in America and has a bit of trouble figuring out the idiosyncrasies of our language.  Finally I caved and watched some of these videos. They’re pretty funny, although he’s no Sweet […]

Just so you understand where I’m coming from, I was born and raised in Detroit.  My father was born and raised in Detroit.  He worked for Ford for most of my life.  I have many memories of going down to the huge, ancient Triple E building (where the engineers worked) and feeding the ducks in […]
