Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting

This has been a week for me running into all sorts of TrueChristians™.   They certainly do run the gamut of being just thoroughly unpleasant people. I frequently kibbitz on the Washington Post facebook page (and at the WaPo site itself).   I also comment on ThinkProgress’s facebook page. I’m Jane R@venswood there, an old email address … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting

From the Kitchen: Mole, and a picture of a feline pieta

Hello my followers, Thanks for following.  This is a quick post of our tasty meal from last weekend and me with one of our new boys.

From the Bar: a couple of new things to drink, vindaloo, and a movie

This weekend we made a chicken vindaloo.    This was from the Saveur magazine recipe and it just wasn’t quite what I had grown used to in most indian restaurants.  What the recipe produced was a chicken and potato curry stew but not much of the vinegar tang that I like in vindaloo.  So I ended … Continue reading From the Bar: a couple of new things to drink, vindaloo, and a movie
