TND – End of Birthday Season 2012 (recipes)
January 9, 2013WND – The Zubin Look
December 3, 2010
My perennial New Year’s Resolution is to stop looking at people like they’re moronic, not because people aren’t frequently stupid but because it seems impolitic and like a wearying way to go through life. This resolution gets harder and harder to remember the later in the year that it becomes.
In an effort to make it through the end of the year without egregiously transgressing on my own resolution I’d like to request a moratorium on idiotic questions (also on people who don’t understand the serial comma, and end sentences on prepositions). Read the rest of this entry ?
WND – Same Batplace
January 7, 2010
I believe in the power of a pair of 3 ½” heels, not just because I’m short, but because they make awesome clicking noises when you walk across marble floors and that is the universal sound of being a grown-up (well for women anyway).
I believe that foie gras is one of the best things you can eat, and that the santon we saw on the market was of a duck being fattened up with an eye to a nice foie gras at Christmas, not a beloved pet being hand fed, no matter what the woman behind the counter said. I know I speak English, but that doesn’t actually make me an idiot. Read the rest of this entry ?
WND – Election Night Dinner
November 5, 2008
Dear Stop-n-Shop:
It is November 2nd. That’s two days after Halloween, twenty-four days before Thanksgiving and fifty-one days to Christmas. In other words, it’s way too early for me to be seeing Christmas ornaments and snowmen peeps on the shelves (anyone else remember when peeps were a seasonal treat?) The leftover Halloween candy has barely made it to the sale racks, and you’re pushing Christmas knick-knacks already? Have you forgotten that there’s an entire other holiday in between Halloween and Christmas for which you could be selling tacky and unnecessary kitsch?
Also, wherefore your sudden and mysterious aversion to beans? What used to be a plentiful variety and stock of beans – red beans, black beans, kidney beans, great northern beans, garbanzo beans – has shrunk to a paltry and elusive collection. I think I bought the last two cans of black beans in the store.
To say nothing of the butter shortage. I kind of (but not really) understand having a run on butter around Thanksgiving or Christmas what with all of the baking, but Halloween? Who runs out of unsalted butter on November 2nd?
Je vous prie, Monsieur/Madame, d’accepter l’expression de mes sentiments les plus exaspérées.*
