This could have been a Thank You Thursday and Foto Friday all in one, but the alternate title for this picture was “Why Tracy and Peter spent Thursday night in food coma mode,” so…. Yeah. Also: Mmmmm.

Cheesesteaks. Nom.

I mean, that is just so much win!

How happy is my start to 2012, you ask? I think my new tea-making monkey friend answers that question pretty darn well:

MONKEY TEA INFUSER, you guys. Allison FTW!

Seriously, I cannot even begin to say how awesome a gift this is. (more…)

Today I found quinces at the farm store down the street from my brother’s place in Vermont!

So I wrote them a little love note at my Open Letters blog. Check it out!

Happy Buy Nothing Day!

I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was to avoid making comments on Wednesday’s pictures, readers. If any of you clicked through to Flickr for larger versions (uh, correction, saw hover text from Flickr, since I didn’t quite have the technical ability: see below), you may have noticed a touch of verbosity in the captions there… Yup, those would be my efforts to channel away all the text I couldn’t use on a Wordless Wednesday. ANYWAY. In case you haven’t seen enough turducken to last you a year or more (believe it or not, this was Peter and my third such effort), and you didn’t eat so much yesterday that you don’t want to look at food till Sunday or so, eventually this post will be filled with more pictures of the ghosts of Thanksgiving two years past. For now, however, I am still at my brother’s place in Vermont, where neither Internet nor phone coverage are quite reliable enough to post much, so for now I will leave you with some teaser placeholder pics:

So yesterday I posted the following picture to Twitter and Tumblr via Instagram on my iPhone (remember that comic I shared on Tuesday with a character reading news from “this thing I can’t put down to save my life”? Yeah, that’s me. Anyway):

Experimenting with coffee-by-weights-not-volumes, as described in this week's New Yorker (yay annual food issue!)
Exciting!

And today I’m going to elaborate considerably on that picture. Because that’s just how I roll. (more…)
