Homeless
Well. Not technically. (and I am by no means trying to trivialize actually being homeless) As of today, yesterday even, I officially have no address and my apartment is empty and I don’t have a key to it. :) You could mail me things if you wanted to, but it would be going to my future address where someone still lives. So after spending the majority of January packing and packing and...

SO. If you wear a ladies shoe size 7 or 6.5 - check out my...

Easy homemade caesar salad
potentially one of the easiest AND most delicious things ever. i got this dressing recipe from Jim. i don’t measure, just add things ‘til it tastes right.
easy Caesar dressing: 1 egg olive oil 1 anchovy salt/pepper the juice of 1/2 a lemon
puree until it won’t get any thinner. if too fishy, add lemon. if too lemony add more oil and maybe a dash of worcestershire sauce. i...

No way to send them from the hospital…yes, stupid old crap...
Booklist/Reading update
In January I posted that I wanted to read at least 25 books this year, but the stretch goal is 30. I’m a little behind, but not by too much. Some of the books I’ve read (and the one I’m currently reading) were quite large so I blame that. :)
