Welcome

Andre went and linked here, so I feel like I should at least tell you that I spend an extraordinary amount of time on Tumblr lately. We can talk about the politics of that if you'd like. I don't love them. However, if you want to know what I'm thinking ...

Sunday, squash / miso / mugwort udon / scallion / hard boiled egg (loosely based on a recipe); carrot and chickpea salad with lime/sesame dressing.

The young dissident naturally wanted to play tricks.

Born of the Bubble (ask Cherry Crush)

A few folks have asked for this, and so I am sharing it. With you, my dear readers. Here is what I know: Buying a home is usually a smart idea. You can use all kinds of rent vs. own calculations, but the big truth is that unless you ...
