Snow is good for…
I not-so-secretly love children’s books and series, especially ones that describe how things were done in another time or circumstance (Swiss Family Robinson, Little House on the Prairie). I always thought it was so cool that they did things like make balloons out of pig’s bladders or burned whale blubber in lamps. Anyway, thekitchn comes through with the method for maple syrup taffy, a la Little House in the Big Woods. Think it’s loose-diet friendly?
I’m a space cadet and I only say totes to Vivian
The other half already blogged this, but I’m still giggling about it so here goes.
me: so i was reading some lost recap type things
and i realized that i am so not into this whole lost-ology shit
Vivian: ugh me neither
me: i mean i love lost
but i don’t know what they are talking about sometimes
Vivian: oh haha i don’t
me: it’s a good show
totally sucks you in
alias-style
Vivian: i’m more interested in shows that are heavier on the philosophical allegories
rather than just twisty turny symbolism and suspense
me: ah i guess i had never thought about lost as a religious allegory
which is apparently what people keep talking about
like here this whole time i’ve been calling a character “dude in the black sweater”
but apparently the rest of the lost world has named him esau because his nemesis is jacob
sigh
Vivian: WHATEVS
that was a great book by the way
[about 10 seconds]
me: the bible?
Vivian: HAHAHAHA
omg no
me: HAHA
Vivian: “jacob have i loved”
me: sorry i was totes confused
Vivian: i seriously LOL’d
me: hahahahahaha i did too
