Back to some fun stuff. I found a recipe for German buttercream frosting on Serious Eats, one of my favorite food sites. This stuff is very good, not too sweet, and full of tasty tasty fat! I recently made a spice buy at Penzey's, my favorite socially concious spice merchant, and used my new vanilla … Continue reading From the Kitchen – cake and some random musings

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate
As if you didn't think some American conservative Christians weren't crazy enough, we have this: "The question either infuriates or intrigues tens of millions of Americans: Did God play a role in the victory of Donald Trump? The debate will soon be presented in movie theaters across the country, as evangelical megaschool Liberty University is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered
In my last post, I wrote about abortion rights. I haven’t heard anything from any abortion opponents yet to answer my questions. However, I did note that the pastor I addressed has two questions for health choice advocates to answer on his blog. Unsuprisingly, Pastor Dave does not allow comments on his website. You can … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
I generally don’t blog about abortion rights. I find abortion to be a stupid thing to be used for birth control, but sometimes it’s the only option and it’s everyone’s right to control their own body and choose the healthcare that they want. Of course, some people don’t think that’s so. They think it is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Way back in September 2014, I offered a challenge to a professional Christian and self-proclaimed prophet, Bill Keller. This was about the challenge he offered to a Muslim leader regarding that old testament contest in 1 Kings 18. Now during that interaction, I was promised that I would be prayed for. He of course ran away … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Recently, I found a post on another blog about what Christians could learn from atheists. This was on a blog for self-described millennial Christians. It was an article written by John Garay, who has his own blog. It was an interesting post, with some honest compliments but most the usual claims of how “rebellious” atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness
This post came to my attention when Pastor Mike liked this post of mine. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that a Christian would like it, but I often encounter Christians who seem a little confused in what they profess to believe and what they actually believe. Nothing like watching a TrueChristian(tm) do his … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness
What the Boss Likes – my adventures in alcohol ink art
I'll be the first one to tell you I don't have much in the way of artistic skills. I've tried piano when I was little, and never got it. My grandmother and great aunt tried their best to teach me how to crochet and tat and I was an abysmal failure at those. I can … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – my adventures in alcohol ink art
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
Lest anyone think that I have only issues with Christianity, here is the link to the first part of my Exodus series. I look at the strange story of the exodus in the bible. Passover is based on the idea of putting blood on doorways to avoid being killed by the angel of a supposedly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux

The best nerdy things! https://www.thinkgeek.com/ In case you aren't familiar with this, on April Fool's Day, some of the things are real and some aren't. This led to the famous (or infamous) tauntaun sleeping bag becoming reality. I, of course, want them all!
