Blast from the past

My friend Susan at MAYA sent me a link to the 1996 holiday card we put together using that funky “new” technology. See it in all its glory…Netscape 3 users actually got mouseover effects. Whoo-hoo! BTW, those are Christmas decorations I’m wearing as earrings. And I very cleverly put the ornaments on the tree at [...]
Apple-Cinnamon Bread Pudding
Posted in WM_archive on December 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I find Sandra Lee (of FoodTV’s Semi-Homemade Cooking fame) to be irritatingly perky. But this recipe for Apple-Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Ginger Ale Sauce looks really good. It uses cinnamon bread as the starter, and adds apple pie filling and instant oatmeal for flavor and thickening. I’m probably going to swap maple for the rum [...]

First, ugh! At least some folks are enjoying real Xmas weather! The good news is that I’m ready for Christmas. I got the next-to-last present this morning, and plan on getting the last tomorrow first thing. Everything for Monday is wrapped, and half of it is in the car already. The trick I learned this [...]
Howard Zinn

Crooks and Liars points to an interesting speech by Howard Zinn at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Here’s a snippet: Well, do you get the feeling sometime that you’re living in an occupied country? Very often that’s a feeling I get when I wake up in the morning. I think, “I’m living in an [...]

Looks like I’m Time’s person of the year. And you are too!
It's not beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Tomorrow’s forecast: Since I live in the Northeast, not Florida or SoCal, the above is a tad depressing just a week before Xmas (though I enjoyed the warmer temps yesterday, as I was a bit late doing my outdoor lights this year). Kathleen also says “bah humbug” to these unseasonable temps. However, I will feel [...]
Zagat gets it almost right
Posted in WM_archive on December 9, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I find the online Zagat a great resource. And I was pleased to see a new (to me) feature the other day when I was trying to find a place for a work-related thank-you lunch. I don’t exactly know the technology behind it (tho it looks very AJAX-like), but the functionality is sweet…by dragging sliders [...]
