biggest damn load of whites ever
One big-ass load of whites. Possibly the biggest ever. The wash machine is making noises like an old guy straining on the toilet. Hey, I warned you I was going to do this. You thought I was kidding? Read.

goddamn laundry hamper
So, this is our goddamn laundry hamper. I used to think of it as our magical laundry hamper because, no matter how much we took out of it to stuff into the wash machine, when we came back it was still just as full as before. But that’s not magical, is it? “Magical” is fun.… Read.

night off
I just wanted to note here that we did not drink beer tonight. Rocks your world, I know, but we needed a night off from Madison Craft Beer Week to recharge our batteries and get ready for the weekend. We’re not spring chickens any more, y’know. My Darling B commanded grilled ham & cheese sandwiches… Read.

so close
WE’RE SO CLOSE TO SPRING! About a week ago, when winter finally showed the first signs of letting up on us just a bit, My Darling B went out to her garden to paw through the snow cover, searching for sprouting garlic but, so sad, couldn’t find any. This week, it’s been even warmer, and… Read.

weekend wrap-up
Weekend Wrap-Up: Saturday Farmer’s Market: A delicious breakfast featuring a pesto Monte Cristo with bread pudding, mushy granola & cranberries, and apple quarters mixed up with some kind of sweet potato stuff.

food for aliens
If one billion people on this planet drink a cup of coffee every day, and one billion people drink a cup of tea … it’s probably way more than that, but you get the idea … then where is all that coffee and tea coming from? How’s it even possible that people can grow that… Read.
