I have no idea how many ounces this thing is, but it’s too much, too late at night.
Pretty sure the rules of blogging say that 10:38 on a Tuesday night is the worst time to publish a post, but I’m doing this for the people. Not for whoever makes up those rules.
- How much do you spend on groceries each week? One Week of Food could put that into perspective for you.
- Very interesting essay on the manipulation and reuse of images in culture.
- The Calorie Police (Do you think the ACLU would defend my right to consume calories in whatever form I please? Just asking.) There’s a double standard here, folks.
- Micah’s post discussing “slow parenting” was eye-opening for me. It’s exactly what I hope to do someday. My parents raised us that way, to a certain extent. While it was not always on purpose (I know that much), I do appreciate that we were allowed to pursue our interests within reason and that we weren’t on the road every night of the week.
- Mango Slaw with Cashews & Mint (This is a recipe for you, Heather)
- Chagrin chagrin chagrin. Chagrin? Chagrin. CHAGRIN. Chagrin. (thanks, Rammi
) - I’m linking this post because Misti is talking about guys named Make Time and Cob.
- “Because I think the world knows just how much NBC, home of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, among others, has been in the tank for George W. Bush for lo these many years. Their relentless cheerleading for the former president, his domestic initiatives and his foreign policy has made them a laughing-stock among serious news organizations and a network no serious-minded person would admit watching.” – The Friar

Thanks for the link to the Visual Du Jour – One week of food. It’s really interesting to see this. I spend about $80 a week here in Western NY for two people. That seems sort of in line with what some of the families are paying.
Dang, my husband and I are Mongolian apparently because we only spend $40-50 a week on food. It does make me sad though to see a family spending only $1 something on food.
I think I was also raised with slow parenting, except that I’m technically the second generation for my parents, they had a 17 and 19 year old when I was born… So they knew not to rush me. They always encouraged and asked, but I was never forced to do anything.
lookin’ snazzy clare!
