Mondays give me teh stupids.
Monday, November 27th, 2006I should just officially designate Mondays as my hey, come look at this thing I found so I don’t have to write a real blog post day. I don’t know what it is, but it takes me forever to get it in gear on Mondays.
Anyway — hey, come look at this cool thing I found!

Thanksgiving: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Saturday, November 25th, 2006The Good: I gotta say, almost everything was pretty good. The turkey was — and I mean no disrespect to anyone who’s fed me Thanksgiving dinner in the past 30-something years — was probably the best turkey I’ve ever eaten. It was not the least bit dry, probably because I kept pacing around the kitchen […]
Well, it’s officially official.
Friday, November 24th, 20061. My first offical Thanksgiving dinner was actually really quite good.

I am fairly proud of both.

Live-blogging the day before Thanksgiving:
Wednesday, November 22nd, 20068:44am: I should not need a degree in agricultural science to order sweet potatoes from FreshDirect. I ordered sweet potatoes, because I was like yams? the hell?
Yeah, turns out? That’s what I should have ordered: the yams. Because ordering sweet potatoes got me some kinda crazy ass yellow things that ain’t going in my sweet […]
That’s it, FreshDirect; we are broken up for the rest of the day.
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006Earlier this month, I ordered two dozen eggs. What I got was twenty eggs and four wee gooey messes. But hey, they’re eggs. It happens. I emailed them and they credited me the cost of the eggs.
This week, I ordered a half-gallon of lactose-free milk. What I got was lactose-free curds and whey. Had I […]
Um, little help over here? …Guys?
Monday, November 20th, 2006Oookay. Starting to get a little anxious about cooking a Thanksgiving dinner.
Yes, yes, yes — I know it’s just me, my husband (who will not care), and my kid (who only cares about having hot chocolate with marshmallows for breakfast on “Big Balloon Day”).
My questions and concerns are as follows:
1. If I just took my […]

Monday, November 20th, 2006Gezellig Girl Fun Fact: I admit, I am a Japanophile. Not a full-on otaku, but I do have more interest than most 32 year-old American housewives.
So, when I was doing some late-night JBox.com shopping yesterday and came across these new additions to their stock, I’m pretty sure I squealed.
Jiji! And Totoro! On aprons! My […]
I’m resisting the urge to call this post something cutesy like “leftovers!”
Thursday, November 16th, 2006Thursday is Target day (and when you live NYC, just getting to Target is a project requiring a good chunk of your day), so I’m going to glom together some of the little things I forgot to mention elsewhere:
I: I never mentioned I’ve started hitting up Chinatown’s beef jerky palace, New Beef King, as recommended […]
[This post actually started out serious but then it sorta went off the rails…]
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006I was going to post about all the various cooking-related toys out there for kids — pretend food, little kitchens, sno-cone makers — when I came across this: Hasbro’s Easy Bake Real Meal Oven.
In case you couldn’t figure it out by the BLUE spatula, BLUE trim, and BLUE packets of food, this is an Easy […]
