A month or two ago, D’Artagnan (the company that sells fancy meats here in the US) had a really good flash sale and I got a selection of game meats: a duck, venison shanks and a wild boar roast. We had the wild boar first (actually a hybrid of European wild boar and feral pig … Continue reading From the kitchen and the bar – experiments in game meats and some new wines
What the Boss Likes – a little self-promotion
I've started an etsy store for my alcohol ink paintings, EvanescentInks. It's entirely a vanity project. 🙂 Please enjoy the images! If you would like to buy one, neat! But don't feel like you should. The image is my take on the hobo sign for kind woman, and in my instance, one with claws. I … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a little self-promotion
From the Bar – what I’ve had lately
Now to catch up on some drink I’ve had lately. Found a nice dry rosé wine from Washington state, Milbrandt 2016 Rosé. It was less than $10 at the pa wine store. I very much like Hendrick’s Gin. It has quite a different flavor profile than other gins. I like flowery alcohol (crème de violette … Continue reading From the Bar – what I’ve had lately

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad
Unsurprisingly, we have a hobby lobby july 2018 ad (happily saved for posterity here), the folks that want to force their religion on their employees (and you) and who have no problem in depending on people working on the “Sabbath” whilst ever-so piously closing their stores on the same day. The people living under authoritarian governments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Hey, Sessions trotted out Romans 13
I hadn't realized that AG Sessions cited Romans 13 for his excuses for his and Trump's actions. “Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution. I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Hey, Sessions trotted out Romans 13

From the Kitchen – cake and some random musings
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
