I grabbed his laptop to go to the postsecret website. As I typed in the postsecret address the computer filled in the url with a pornography website. I used my boyfriend's laptop again to look up postsecret and the computer filled in the url with recently visited sites about pre and post nuptial agreements. In my attempts to read other people's secrets, I discovered his. -----Email Message----- I'm a lesbian in the United States and I'm afraid my dad will die before I'm legally able to walk down an aisle.

It isn't. Too scared to be alone, I was in a couple in some way for 16 years and I always felt like I was faking. I was jealous of my single friends who had the strength not to settle like I did.

11:27 pm margaretc [Link]	US vs UK spelling, that is. One of the odder things about me is that after I moved back to the States from the UK, I retained some mild British-isms. I say 'lift' for elevator, and write the date with the number first, then the month, then the year (28 Nov 09). I usually spell things the de facto British way - colour, honour, neighbour, etc. But now my son is learning to read and spell, and he's constantly asking me 'Mommy, how do you spell' whatever word he's looking at. I think it's his way of checking that he's reading the word correctly. He asked me today: 'How do you spell 'colour'?' and I had to think for a second whether I was going to respond with the British spelling or the American one. I picked the American one. I feel like I've sold out. But he read the word! Current Location: couch Current Mood: calm Current Music: the dishwasher Tags: kid, musings, parenting (Leave a comment)

03:16 pm food_porn [kitchenbeard] [Link]	Pear Tart Part of my contribution to this years Thanksgiving Dinner was dessert. While my chocolate mousee disappeared, my pear tart never quite got out of the kitchen. That just means more for me as far as I'm concerned. It made a lovely Saturday morning breakfast.

04:06 pm mary_mayhem [Link]	And in other news Remember that I planted a bunch of roses last spring? They are still blooming. The pink one grew tall all summer with NO blossoms. NOW, it has a bud. So do all the rest of the new roses. The old ones have been blooming like crazy for a month. There are no leaves on my trees but there are buds opening on my roses.

01:56 pm margaretc [Link]	Cruelty to comics Last night, A. and I went to DSI Comedy for an evening out. It was improv comedy in a team format, with lots of audience participation. They had asked for a historical event, so I said 'The Battle of Hastings'. None of them even knew what it was so they asked me for a primer. I said 'A French duke invaded England and won'. They heard it as 'French dude' and played it that way - they were playing a sort of charades on stage. It was hilarious. Definitely a terrific change from going to a movie we weren't sure we wanted to see anyway. Current Location: Mark Jacobson Toyota Current Mood: content Current Music: Duke v.

It was the first time I'd ever deep-fried anything, and it turned out well! I topped my cannoli with: 1. Dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts 2. Chopped peanuts and peanut butter chips 3. Cinnamon chips (definitely my favorite! Mmm!)

12:40 pm food_porn [wolfsilveroak] [Link]	Daring Bakers Nov Challenge- Cannolli I almost didn't do this Challenge. Why? Because I hated Cannolli. Well, turns out, Mark loves Cannolli, my neighbor Chris loves Cannolli, Mark's boss and her family loves Cannolli, so it wouldn't be hard to get rid of them when I did make them.

09:29 am food_porn [mschaos] [Link]	I made a tasty thing So a couple of months ago I found a great pumpkin yeast bread that I served with cream cheese whipped with maple syrup. that bread also makes divine bread pudding. which is what I was wanting to make for thanksgiving...I have one spare loaf from previous batch but I wanted a bit more...so I set about making the bread - but it didn't want to rise. so I made do (and it was fine as there were SOooooo many desserts that what I brought was plenty) but yesterday morning I looked at the dough and it had finally risen - but what to do with it as I didn't just want the pumpkin bread (I was getting a bit bored with it) so I perused the king arthur site and got some tips from this recipe and even tho I didn't have raisins, I did have dried apples...I also added some maple syrup for moisture I am very pleased with the results and this may become the bread I give out for gifts this year Tags: yeast (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

10:49 pm margaretc [Link]	yum We brought pumpkin pie, garlic mashed potatoes, and a squash casserole. The only thing left is half of the squash casserole. N. helped with the pie and the potatoes, and A. peeled the potatoes. Mom brought some chutney and cream cheese. Terrific spread - yummy turkey and duck, fab. desserts and veggies. Lovely company, lots of laughter and good times for all. N. did very well for being the only kid in a party full of grown-ups. I got quite a bit done on my weaving project - about 5 inches all told, I think, including what I worked on after we got home until my arms were sore.

06:35 pm houstontx [princessdaze] [Link]	Hair Salon Hair salon I'm new to Houston. I am trying to get re-established with a good hair stylist/salon here who does a great job and is affordable. Specifically, that is what I typically have done for my hair and what I paid in San Diego: Haircut - up to $25 Hair highlights -up to $110 Hair perm - up to $85 I would prefer someone or a hair salon place in Pearland (would be great if they were open on the weekends too). Do you have suggestions of a place you go to and or a hair stylist I should ask for? (3 comments \| Leave a comment)

09:24 pm food_porn [dithie] [Link]	Spanish Tortilla When I was in Spain this summer I ate a lot of tortillas. They were our go-to when we were sick of fish in Cabo de Palos (didn't happen to me, but to other members of my family), when we didn't feel like eating heavy meat in Madrid, or when we wanted something to nosh on between lunch and dinner while drinking a lovely Alhambra beer. And now that winter is rapidly approaching, I think about sunny Spain a lot. Like, a REAL WHOLE LOT. ( Recipe under here! ) See more at The Cast-Iron Darling! (3 comments \| Leave a comment)
