Posted by Tracy in : food safety,food snobbery,news,random,Twitter Tuesday , add a commentOk, so I saw an oddly fitting tweet not long after forcing myself up this morning (it was still morning, though only by an hour or so, and I probably could have slept more but I had enough trouble getting to sleep at an earlyish hour last night that I decided not to push my luck — or my ability to breathe, which is unreliable thanks to upper respiratory ickiness):

Auugh I am going to be so sick tomorrow, I can just feel it. The good news is, I’m certain it’ll make my #TMITuesday even more exciting.
I will spare you the TMI, readers, but suffice it to say that I whined way too soon yesterday. Oooof. Anyway. S-s-s-somethings from the Twitter: (more…)
Monkey Monday: just a little news 28 November 2011 5:56 pm
Posted by Tracy in : cross-posting,economics,meta,monkeys,news,random , add a commentUrgh, readers. I have the post-holiday-weekend plague, in the form of a cold that makes me want to do nothing more strenuous than lie around feeling sorry for myself, with the only occasional exertion to pour myself the next cup of ginger ale (Schweppes, not even the good stuff) or tea. So today’s post is pretty random, an even more biased sample of the weekend’s food-related New York Times articles, and something I saw on Tumblr. Coming up later this week: Twitter Tuesday, a more complete turducken Wordless Wednesday if I can swing it, and then some well-earned rest. This NaBloPoMo thing has been quite the adventure! Anyway, on with the post: (more…)

So I wrote them a little love note at my Open Letters blog. Check it out!
Twitter Tuesday is always a thankful day… 22 November 2011 7:11 pm
Posted by Tracy in : friends,random,Twitter Tuesday , add a comment…because I get to borrow other people’s brilliance, or humor, or just plain truth. This comment from my friend Ian is a fine example of that last:

There is little in this world more fun or satisfying than putting the finishing touches on a creme brulee
See? Like a magical sitar that only speaks the truth
Monkey Monday: Thanksgiving week continues. 21 November 2011 11:42 pm
Posted by Tracy in : comics,cooking,diet stress is a health hazard,eating,geekery,health,monkeys,news,nutrition,random,science , add a commentSo I got into the Thanksgiving spirit early with my epistolography yesterday, and I’ve got a few extra gratitude-themed posts planned for later this week (one of which is foreshadowed by a high-larious comic hidden in a link in this very entry!)
I feel like I’m turning into the NaBloPoMo homestretch, and that means I have to be extra-bonus careful not to fall into complacency, especially at the end of this week when I’ll be all distracted by holiday family action. Today I have been all distracted in general but a highlight of that distraction was that I now know I can make pierogies! This changes everything! Ok, not really, but (more…)
