Quotable Julia

Julia Child said some wonderful things. In honor of her 100th birthday, here are some of my personal favorites!

Oi Vay. I’ll be the first to admit to loving a good fairy tale, and that (yes) princess-stories are still one of my favorite genres. . . but for crying out loud: what is the big sparkly pirouetting deal with England’s Royalty? These days EVERYONE loves William and Kate. They’re ranking American celebrities equivalent with actual admirable talentedContinue reading “Royalty Shmoyalty”

Chinese Dumplings

Once upon a time, when I lived in France, I studied with a girl from China named Wenxuan. (Say “oo-en-shh-won” really fast and you’ve got it.) One day, Wenxuan agreed to teach myself (and two other friends from class) how to make true Chinese Dumplings. . . So we gathered in the little quintessential southernContinue reading “Chinese Dumplings”

The Bridal Olympics

Everybody’s talking about the Olympics, and for good reason. They are the pinnacle of athletic excellence and the gold (medal) standard for achievement in the world of sports. So, I guess I shouldn’t have been so surprised when my future sister-in-law’s maid of honor told me that the chosen theme for the impending Bridal ShowerContinue reading “The Bridal Olympics”

Kids With Causes

Endangered Species: Olivia Binfield is both talented and adorable, it’s almost too much to handle! I love that she uses her poetic prowess for good! Edurelief: Capucine is an adorable French child (who is no longer a child probably, since this has been out for a while), but she uses her YouTube popularity for good,Continue reading “Kids With Causes”

I was going through some old files today, and found this sassy snippet of a story starter, which I wrote to a dear friend while I was off galavanting the globe and she was taking a creative writing class and needed to get her creative juices flowing. . . After reading it over, I decidedContinue reading “Private . . . Ear?”

Puns Are The HIghest Form of Humor!

Shades of Humour. . .

Innuendo, anyone? Allright, maybe it’s because I work with teenagers, but I tend to find inappropriate innuendo in some unlikely places. Hey, what can I say? A well-placed “that’s what she said” is sometimes just really funny. There’s even a group on facebook for people like me. . . I’ll admit, finding innuendo can turn completelyContinue reading “Shades of Humour. . .”

Drops in the Bucket 2012

After taking a glance at Lesley Carter‘s unbelievably impressive 2012 Bucket List (and picking my jaw back up off the floor after reading what she accomplished last year. . . ) I decided that a little bucket listing of my own might be in order for this year, especially since summer is upon us, andContinue reading “Drops in the Bucket 2012”
