WTF?
Wow. Grandma’s kind of a bitch, huh?
Friday, June 27th, 2008There’s a food-wine-travel piece by Florence Fabricant in today’s NYTimes about her recent trip with her two granddaughters to Disney World.
Now, I am not especially a Disney enthusiast. In fact, the last time I went (long before I had a kid), I had to be physically removed from what was then The Monsanto Hall […]
Subway: ur doin it rong
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Subway is holding a contest for kids: Every Sandwich Tells a Story! The grand prize: a measly $5K in athletic equipment, which would buy what… two treadmills and someone’s Bowflex from Craigslist?
Anyway, Subway made one fatal flaw. Buried under the prizes is this:
Contest is open only to legal US residents, over the age of […]
BEHOLD!
Thursday, May 8th, 2008My husband finally reached the last circle on his get-a-free-coffee card from Dunkin’ Donuts, good for a free coffee of any size, so he bought…
THE GREAT ONE!
Who on earth drinks that much coffee that Dunkin’ Donuts offers a size that big? And for that matter, why not just buy their Box O’ […]
Um, what?
Monday, April 14th, 2008So, there I was, watching SpongeBob with my kid, when there was an ad for The Topsy Turvy™ Tomato Planter! The Upside Down Tomato Planter!
Gee whiz! It’s topsy AND turvy!
I admit it; I was kind of into the idea, thinking about whether or not I could get away with putting one on my fire […]
Not April Fools
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008So… that Easter ham I made? It looked so much like a person, we couldn’t really bring ourselves to actually eat it.
I shut it into the oven but it, well, became sentient. And I kinda think it’s been looking down my shirt when I bend over it, quite honestly.
Here, you be the judge:

My ham will devour your soul!
Friday, March 28th, 2008As I was uploading photos this week, I found a picture of my dynamite Easter ham.
Y’see, it was still in the oven, and I had a hard time getting a good photo with the flash off, but with the flash on… well, you should be sure all small children are out of the room […]
Now I’m mad.
Friday, February 1st, 2008For about a year now, I’ve had between one and four text ads at the bottom of the right-hand column on this page. These ads pay me a whopping $11 a month on average — almost enough to cover monthly web hosting and annual domain name costs. (Hey, I love you guys, but I’m not […]
Why I love Big Lots, part 1
Saturday, December 1st, 2007Big Lots (for those of you who’ve never been to one) is where products go to die — where weird items no one ever really wanted end up, like a consumer orphanage. You will find things at Big Lots you never knew existed, or even why they existed… and this is why I make a […]
News that make me almost have a stroke:
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007“I would suspect that the average consumer would believe that [Italian-themed chain restaurants like Olive Garden] were serving a healthy Mediterranean fare,” agreed Dr. Charles Clark, professor of medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis.
Seriously?
