Cookbooks

When I first started looking around at cookbooks, I used The Joy of Cooking, probably not the best place to start my culinary adventure. To be honest, I really only cooked a couple of recipes out of that cookbook, yet I still have it. It has a substantial number of recipes in it, however, there is n

Our Homeschooling

(Cross-posted from Colvinism.) We are fairly laid-back classical homeschoolers. (The laid-back part is important for sanity when running around the USA visiting churches, and now adjusting to a new culture here in Davao City.) I know we were always were interested in reading about what other homesch

Sunday Wrapup

My love affair with Goal Happy lasted less than a week; it wasn’t as easy to use as I’d hoped and it won’t give you extra credit for extra goals. I think it’s still a good tool, but not the one I want for this task. Little Free Library The only thing gone since last time is a Bon Appetit magazine (I

Jane Eyre as a mash-up

Bharat Tandon lists forty things you didn’t know about Jane Austen in The Times. This one looks like a not well measured boutade: 34. Mistress of mash-ups. Jane Austen “mash-ups”, such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, are nothing new; after all, what is Jane Eyre if not an Austen plot suddenly de

Turk’s Head Pie

Below is a small article about an old dish from the medieval era called Turk’s Head. Following the article is a recipe: TURK’S HEAD PIE I believe many would be surprised to learn that Turk’s Head Pie is a basic meat dish made from leftover game meat. The origin of the dish’s name is pleasant and a l

Therapy Dogs on GA Tech Campus

GA Tech had a great idea to help students de-stress for finals. From GA Tech web-site: Often the mention of dogs on campus can mean a certain rival university’s coming to town, but this week it means there are four-legged friends on campus that have come to love on students.

Thanksgiving and Books and Stuff

I had a very good Thanksgiving. We mostly sat around with friends and had turkey, dressing, green beans (braised in bacon, onion, and garlic), mashed potatoes, rolls, gravy, and cranberry sauce. Plus there was a cheesecake, a pumpkin pie (that my husband made), and a chocolate fudge cake that I made

Without Incident

It happened at the supermarket. It wasn’t long now. Annie worried that she slept too much. She should be more alert. She should buy an atlas and some highlighters and pick a route. But there was more time for that. Right now, the idea of running anywhere only made the change in her body less easy to
