What the Boss Likes – the cats part 1
In the interest of keeping the tubes full of cats, here are 2 of mine and my husbands. The others will be coming, it's rather hard to photograph black cats and one cranky one. We also have a ferret, Loki, which is even *harder* to photograph. We have 5 total: Grendel, Luna, Mystra (all siblings), Mordred and Muffin. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – the cats part 1
From the Kitchen – Meat Pies
Once upon a time I was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It's a loosely (often very loosely) historical recreation group that had its genesis in the 1960s. I was a member on and off for 20+ years. Finally the politics were too much and I ended it. I still love historical stuff … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Meat Pies
Not so polite dinner conversation – HB 1077 or Episode 2 in Pennsylvania lawmakers looking for a theocracy
Representative Kathy Rapp (R- McKean, Forest and WarrenCountieslkrapp@pahousegop.com ) has taken it upon herself to try to force yet one more medically unnecessary ultrasound on a woman before she gets an abortion. Her bill, HB 1077 has these provisions: - all women seeking an abortion to receive a mandatory ultrasound at least 24 hours in … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – HB 1077 or Episode 2 in Pennsylvania lawmakers looking for a theocracy
From the Bar – Philadelphia Distilling
Shine Whiskey My husband and I like a lot of the products coming from the distilleries inPhiladelphia. We recently picked up a bottle of Shine Whiskey from Philadelphia Distilling. Everyone seems to be getting on the bandwagon of the “next new thing”, and this month that’s “moonshine” (we even have tv shows about idiots with … Continue reading From the Bar – Philadelphia Distilling

From the Bar – Root 1 Camenere
From the Bar – Root 1 Carmenere A Chilean wine, this is one of those from what is claimed to be a rediscovered “lost grape ofBordeaux”. The bottle is quite nice, thinner than usual with a painted label. The price at the PLCB was $10.99 US. The vintage was 2009. At the “root” of it, … Continue reading From the Bar – Root 1 Camenere
From the Back Room – Brewer’s Best Holiday Ale
Husband and I dabble in home brewing. We’ve made about 6 Brewers Best beer kits now, American Cream Ale, English Bitter, Summer Ale, Dunkleweisen, Weizenbier and I’m damned if I can remember the other one. To start off 2012 right we started the Holiday Ale. Evidently the yeasties were all excited about this, because the … Continue reading From the Back Room – Brewer’s Best Holiday Ale
Not so polite dinner conversation – Saccone is at it again
As one can see from my post below, I have little patience for Pennsylvanialegislators wasting time lying about how “Christian” the US is. Representative Saccone saw fit to be “shocked, shocked” that anyone took issue with his bill, and made even more poor arguments. You can see his further claims that were published here and … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – Saccone is at it again
What the Boss likes – Iron Sky
Dieselpunk is one of the many ‘punks out there. Back in the 80’s and 90’s it was cyberpunk, the dystopian future where corporations owned everything and computers were large and no one seemed to have a cell phone. I played Shadowrun, knew about Cyberpunk, read William Gibson and others, etc. Rather funny to now look … Continue reading What the Boss likes – Iron Sky
