Snarking & Snipping

Yeah? So — what of it?

August 12, 2008

Last week, one of the bloggers I’ve come across in foodland wrote a post inquiring about what readers like or don’t like in a blog.  Although I always enjoy this particular person’s posts because she’s extremely smart, very opinionated, and an excellent writer, they’re unusual in that they aren’t always about recipes and food porn [...]

Un-jetlagging

July 14, 2008

Tax Day & the Haves and Have Nots

April 16, 2007

Since waking at 3am today, I’ve read three days worth of our local paper, April’s edition of O, and done a great job of not reading the book in the side bar that I’m supposed to be reading. As a result, I’ve been preoccupied by something that used to happen frequently when I was part [...]
