I’ve been diligently attempting to write three different blog posts simultaneously because that’s how I like to do it; add a phrase here, a paragraph there, correct punctuation if I happen to notice it. So anyway, I keep being interrupted by work and unable to finish anything blog related so I have decided to share random bits of usefulness that have appeared in my Google Reader today.
The brilliant Melissa McEwan has said what I was going to say only much, much better. I had a few sentences written about the unnecessary and troublesome remake of The Last House on the Left (I refuse to give it a link), but instead, please just click along to Shakespeare’s Sister. I honestly don’t know how Ms. McEwan manages to be so astute and sensible without the use of profanity when writing about something so very very wrong.
If you haven’t read The F-Word yet then you are certainly in for a treat. Another smart and calm woman when addressing potentially triggering subject matter. I had two paragraphs down on the subject of Mrs. Obama making her daughters’ diets public, and mentioning that OMFG Malia was getting chubby! as perhaps not really the nicest way to present her girls to the world. I would prefer a discussion on Health at Every Size and I’ll take that without the body shame. Thank you Rachel, you said it beautifully.
Just because I love slow cooked pork, just because the pictures are so delectable, and just because I use so many recipes from Dinners for a Year that I figured it was time to offer up a link of love. Thank you Amy for sharing your cooking obsession with the world. For those of us who read cookbooks with as much enjoyment as reading a novel, we really can only understand each other. I.just.so.totally.get.it. Come on over, I’ll make you lamb.
What, are you still here? Go! Read!
