You can go to Brain Cookies with Blood Glaze Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2002 Add Timer Ingredients Brain Cookies: 2 sticks unsalted…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ0L7O_khbsI have very mixed feelings about Suzanne Vega. When I was at university, for six months I lived next door to this very nice girl named JoAnn, who loved listening to music. Really loved it. Did I mention the walls were thin? Her favorite albums were Suzanne Vega’s Solitude Standing and Tracy Chapman’s Tracy Chapman….
Sometimes we think we are having a really bad day. Check out this video. I don’t know who has it worst – the people trying to get the baby elephant out of the well, the baby elephant, or the mama elephant. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdkVgxabCc4 – – Leigh AAR
Maggie first talked about Gangnam Style in her September blog. I am not sure who to give credit to for this mashup. David Haglund wrote about it on SLATE but YouTube says it is by FAROFF.

You know I haven’t baked anything for a Halloween party in what seems like forever. Looking for recipes I was amazed at some of the creations. This is tame by comparison to many (brain cookies will be coming later if I can figure out how to show the picture). There are different videos available for…
Every once in a while I start researching a topic and then it leads to something completely different. This week I was all set to talk about the strength it takes to make changes in our lives. But honestly, we all know how difficult it is do things like ending relationships, or changing jobs. Instead…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGinwDu0L8This song is what I call an insidious earworm: It sticks to the back of your mind even after you’ve just heard the first few notes, and doesn’t leave you for days.
