(More) Latkes for the one you love
Dreama mentioned latkes, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to talk a little about the latkes we made tonight. But first, here is Albus looking disaprovingly on the latke-making shenanigans:
So, back to the latkes. As with last year, we used Dreama’s recipe for traditional latkes. Last year, I actually got a comment on the flickr […]
The victorious return of Chanukah doughnuts
I’ve been feeling pretty blue the past week - no surprise, I’m sure - so I haven’t much been in the spirit of the holiday. My blues seemed to break a little last night, at least, and today C and I decided to be a little more festive. Thus, Chanukah doughnuts 2.0 were born:
We used […]
All the trimmings may, in fact, be the only thing we have.
Did you know it takes four to five days to thaw a twenty pound turkey in the refrigerator? Yes? WELL GEE, THANKS FOR TELLING ME. I’m a grad student, what do I know? Oh right, just how to be a Linda Williams fangirl. But as far as I know, none of what Williams has written […]
BBQ for the 4th

Today, we’re going to barbecue (not our cat).
Here’s hoping our country does better this year than it did last. Seems like it wouldn’t take much.
Anniversaries
Today is the twenty-third anniversary of my birth. Instead of celebrating in any substantial way, I’m spending the day in the Grad Student’s office, working on two papers that are due tomorrow, a proposal to teach my own course next year, and watching this video as much as I possibly can.
Cheers.
The Greatest Christmas Gift Ever
This morning, I received what could possibly be described as the most perfectly themed array of gifts that one could anticipate - or at least that I could have anticipated. And the centerpiece of my bundle of gifts? Possibly the most important book of the 20th century. Not Lolita, not A Portrait of the Artist […]
Bread
It seems that there should be more holidays where families bake bread. In Connecticut, my partner’s family bakes bread twice a year, for Thanksgiving and Christmas - loaves and loaves, and they distribute them to their family all over the state. If you come into the kitchen any time from the morning of Christmas eve […]
Goodbye Chanukah, Hello Christmas
Tonight was the last night of Chanukah.
As such, I spent the afternoon doing the only thing conceivable. I spent it making doughnuts.
For a little while, things - specifically the apple filling I was making on the fly - looked pretty grim.
After all was done, they looked more than a little like charcoal briquettes.
Fortunately, both the […]
The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
