Shades of Paula Dean

This weekend, Jack made an Alton Brown pasta recipe, Cracker Noodle Do, that incorporated two of Paula Deans four food groups: crackers and butter. It was very tasty with a little grated parmesan added. Jack has started watching Alton Brown’s show on the Food Network. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Into The Woods

My friend Roz has started a blog called Into The Woods, where she illustrates her woodland walks in England. She has some lovely pictures of snowfall at What a Difference a Day Makes.

38 Snowmen Nightmares

The snow in Colorado is rarely of the sort suitable for making snowmen. So I enjoyed finding 38 Snowmen Nightmares: Calvin and Hobbes In Real Life. Fans of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip will remember the running gag of Calvin illustrating horrific scenes using snowmen, much to the chagrin of his father. (Anyone else think that Calvin’s father had forgotten that he was just like Calvin as a child?)
