Homemade chocolate chip cookies with milk (don’t forget the luscious dough phase)

PRESENT:
Brownies someone sent me as a gift. Damn it.
Tortilla chips and […]
First of all, wouldn’t that make an excellent title for a movie? Sorry, I’ve already called it.
Second, this was going to be a post about how I wish I could look like my avatar. About how cool her clothes are, and how much I love her hairstyle and her boots, and how cool […]
I got an e-mail yesterday from my brother-in-law, telling us about the miracle of the ankle. It goes something like this: a while ago his wife slipped off an icy curb and broke her ankle. I don’t even like to think about it, so let’s move on. The doctors have been […]
Remember when I told you about that crack popcorn from Garrett’s? I ordered some for my friend Carolyn a few weeks ago, and couldn’t resist getting myself some, too. True to form, I found myself inhaling it within two minutes of the FedEx man dropping it off. I was having so many […]
I try not to laugh at people who are sincerely making an effort, but since this poor man has already been outed, I don’t see the extra harm in sharing with you.
Please do yourself a favor and listen all the way to the end. It only gets much, much worse. Mercy.

I’m thinking about this, of course, because Thanksgiving is a mere three […]
I subscribe to a great magazine called Women’s Adventure, which includes among its regular contributors author and outdoorswoman Pam Houston (Cowboys Are My Weakness, Sight Hound, etc.).
Her column in this month’s issue is about New Year’s resolutions–about how she’s always resisted them, but has decided to try it this year just to see what all […]
This is what happens on the in-between days. We’re going backpacking tomorrow, but today we’re sitting in this hotel room, a two-laptop couple, very modern, black Lab at our feet snoozing off yesterday’s excitement.
And since I’m just sitting here waiting for friends and family to e-mail me, reading other people’s blogs, wondering if the […]
I happened to catch on TV yesterday the second-best movie of all time (after The Princess Bride, of course). The Great Escape is one of those movies where if you’re going to watch five minutes of it, you might as well commit to the whole three and a half hours.
What makes it so spectacular? […]
