… ‘cos I may as well run with a theme. I held off watching this one last year when I was having quite the Tatum O’Neal feast while reading her autobiography because she hasn’t made a whole lot of movies and I felt like I had to save something. Though this movie sounded tacky ...

I read a few things about this before putting it on and feared a kind of similar experience to The Cheerleaders re: whether I would even end up reviewing it or not, lol. Let’s not delay the obvious here: this is one genuinely filthy movie. How it’s filthy, however – that really nee...

I couldn’t help thinking of Melody during this for some reason. There’s something terrifically quirky about its treatment of what amounts to a slightly feeble Lolita story that’s kind of irresistible from the off, the stuff at the start pondering the pornography Charles BronsonR...

Rice Pasta with Simple Marinara and Lentil Balls I am working my way through my brown rice pasta stash! I need to make a Trader Joes trip soon as their brown rice pasta is PERFECT and cheap at only 1.99/lb. This dish tested my lentil balls big time. They sat in sauce for 4 days before I used them an...

Millet Polenta, Lentils, Raw Green Goddess Pate and Kale Salad I'm playing catch up here! (as I am with most of my posts).. This dish was composed of my raw kale and sprout salad, lentils, millet polenta and topped with a raw sunflower herb cream/pate. I cooked up a cup of millet (which you will be ...

“But Jews do not fight.” “These Jews do.” A very late review of this and no notes to go on except the above quote. What I always like, expect, and usually get from Edward Zwick’s movies (okay, I’ve only seen Glory, Last Samurai, the slightly anomalous The Seige an...

Dyeing Experiment: . The Washout My utmost concern was the hardness of water from the dye workshop sinks, which I am happy to say passed with flying colors. Then I had concerns about what fabrics we would be using in the workshop (in May), so I ran four tests on each of the four fabrics. I've record...

Dyes!. Look what I got in the mail yesterday. All the dyes I have listed in The Lazy Dyer. They were a gift from a lovely reader who bought them and never got a Roundtoit. I am the lucky recipient. This is going to mean a big experiment. Since I am planning on teaching dyeing at the Stone Light Shop...

Thursday evening my X had to go to be with his dying grandmother. As of this second, she is still holding on, but it won't be long. I've been at the house since then. Before I left, I packed up a bunch of food so I could do a bunch of cooking.. I forgot my camera, so these pics are old pics, but rep...
