A Glean In My Eye

Here are some things from my gleaning folder. Enjoy.
Tweet Clouds Are you a twit fool? Make a word cloud from the word you tweet the most.

It said “Do NOT reply” On a lark these guys bought “donotreply.com” back in the day. Now, they get emails from people looking for the real mcCoy when companies use [...]

Everyday

This weekend I tried a new soup recipe. I was grocery shopping Thursday evening when I saw Everyday with Rachel Ray February issue. I picked it up and thumbed through and was immediately drawn to a recipe for Sheppard’s pie. I’ve since looked through the whole magazine and there are several things I’d like to [...]

It’s All About the Food

Gobble. Gobble. No, not the sound of turkeys–but the battle cry of thousands of American’s on Thanksgiving day.

Internet Glee in Honor of Buy Nothing Day

Instead of shopping today, how about just snuggling in at home with a loved one and checking out cool stuff on the Internet?

With not a moment to lose, no moment is lost

Alright! Fine, I’m back. I, uh, fell behind on Nanowrimo *cough* but I’m not giving up. I’m still in the game, though I have quite a bit to catch up on. Chris asked me last night if I had quit and I realized I haven’t–though it seems that I have because I haven’t written much. [...]

The Monkey Wrench Gang: Sabotage in the Southwest

I just finish reading my first Edward Abbey book, The Monkey Wrench Gang.
I became aware of Abbey about 2 years ago when I met a man who quoted him fairly often. Now, I have finally gotten around to reading one of his most celebrated, er, rather notorious novels. And I have to say, I’m planning [...]

Cool Off with a Hot Summer Dish

One of my favorite dishes from a Mexican restaurant in my home town is Cotel de Cameron, a Mexican version of shrimp cocktail. I’ve yet to find anything like it up here in the Pacific Northwest, and I began craving it as the hotter summer months drove me from cooking with heat.
I did a search [...]

A Tree Spoke to Me

I found this quote at Wish Jar Journal. It’s speaks directly to a question I asked myself and God last night. It seems like I’m always struggling for goodness or happiness. And I find I am tired most of the time. Struggle is that way, it takes energy. It’s not about the struggle and that, [...]

Waking moments

One of my favorite movies is called Waking Life. I’ve owned it for several years. I’ve watched it countless times. Tonight I decided to turn on the captions, and instead of providing dialog it is provide resources and further information about what is happening on the screen. I’m highly impressed and yet not at all [...]
