it's a convoluted mess
We like lemon around here. Especially lemon bars. But lemon bars can be time consuming and sometimes a person doesn’t want to wait forever for the lemon bars to set up. The original recipe called these “Cakey Lemon Bar Brownies” or “Lemon Brownies” … as in flavor like a lemon bar, texture of a cakey brownie. But since there is no chocolate involved, it’s not really a brownie. It’s a blondie. Lemon Blondies. Lemon Blondies… Keep reading…Lemon Blondies…
Actually, no it doesn’t. It’s only 32 degrees outside. Dang. I had a dream about kissing Matt Nathanson. It was incredibly awkward. His wife was there and got [justifiably] pissed off. Matt didn’t seem to care (his actual words were I don’t care), but she started hucking Little Golden Books at me frisbee-style. Those suckers have sharp corners. Bob called me a home wrecker.* For the record: Matt totally started it. This is my brain… Keep reading…Feels like summer…
At the beginning of the year, Nine Days randomly followed me on Twitter announcing their comeback. (And I reminisced the adorableness of John Hampson.) Some time later they launched a Pledge Music campaign (Kickstarter for music) to fund and support their new album. (Let’s not get into the ridiculous number of music projects I’ve pledged money to in the last six months. So many music makers I love are on this path and…GAH…I am weak….

It’s very much Toad. And it’s a refreshing change of pace from the shit on the airwaves these days. Remember 90’s alternative music? That… Keep reading…Through a string of stars…
I’m starting from scratch on the Ben & Marina timeline. Because I am a glutton for punishment apparently. It needs to be done. Gator and Sheep are trying to help but they can’t figure out what the hell all my scribbling means. They’ll just be over here listening to the Ben & Marina playlist. — Kiss Me Slowly Parachute
It used to be whenever I heard mention of ginger cookies, I thought of the thin, rock-hard, cut-out cookies that show up at Christmastime. They smell nice, but they’re not worth breaking your teeth on. When we moved into our house and I started itching to bake something, Bob mentioned that soft ginger cookies were his favorite. So I took to Google (Pinterest didn’t hit for another year or so) in search of a recipe… Keep reading…Soft Ginger Cookies…
