I've heard from friends that the recipes, etc are great.

I've made a couple of them, and they really are. Easy, too. (At least, the ones I picked were, which is probably at least partially why I picked them.)

This is so much of my life...I am happier when I have a clean house and all my work is done...but does that inspire me to do it? Somehow, no.

Oh, how much this is me.

Until just now, I had no idea you were talking about the Butter Mistress herself, the Pioneer Woman. I am so not the in crowd, weep weep.

Oh, I think Paula Deen is the butter queen. But Pioneer Woman may be in line for the throne.

Whole Foods was crazy-busy. I guess the holiday weekend has started for most people. I wanted to get on the PA: "New year's Eve isn't until tomorrow!"

Don't get me started on Julie Powell. (I imagine if I read Cleaved, I would feel differently with the nuance and end result and whatnot, but I just can't bring myself to.)

Apparently Cleaved is not much with the nuance and end result, and seems to make people hate her even more.

I love javachik's blogger friend C!

I had never heard the term soc nor heard of any of these women, but the discussion is amusing nonetheless. Rather like a local show here called Deco Drive which often mocks celebrities I don't know, and yet they amuse me when I catch the show.

I think I'm going to eat dinner. I mean, I want to be eating, so I might as well, right?

I still don't know what the hell a Kardashian is. I think it's someone (or a family?) who has a TV show, but I don't know why he/she/they have a TV show or what it's about or why exactly we should care.

But I miss a lot not having cable. And not giving a shit about stuff like this.

(Someone on FB posted a picture that had on one side a collage of people like Ghandi, Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking, etc., and on the other side was a large picture of some woman with a margarita that had 2 beer bottles in it. And the caption was something about how it's a sad world when people don't know who the people on the left (Ghandi, et al.) are, but DO know who the woman on the right is.

I had no idea, so I had to ask. It's someone called Snooki. Is she a Kardashian? I didn't want to ask further questions on FB so as not to embarrass the shit out of myself for not knowing who these people are or why I should know who they are.)

I don't have teevee, either, but somehow I know that Snooki is from Jersey Shore. I am not sure I could tell her apart from a Kardashian, though.

ETA: jersey shore is a reality show about modern "Italian-American" culture in Jersey which to me seems super offensive to actual Italian Americans.
