Apparently the new discerning woman is increasingly worried about the shape of her ear lobes. After years of wearing heavy ear rings, the piercing in the earlobe stretches, leading to an allegedly unsightly sag. Enter a team of dermatologists to repair the terrible damage, a team that claims any other facial work that [...]
When I Say I Thought About Hyphenating, I Was Thinking About Mozilla-Pujols
Published November 17th, 2007 in Chef, Feminism, Marriage and Work. 9 CommentsI opted not to change my last name when Chef and I married a couple of months ago, not that I didn’t consider it. As with many decisions, now that I’m in my martini phase, I didn’t take it too seriously. Although both of our last names are “normal” Anglo-Saxon names, I do [...]
Since I’m not blogging, Chef has offered to take over this blog and call it Faux Veal. Tofu in the banner, duck fat in teh intertubes.
Adventures in Naming
Published October 17th, 2007 in Chef, Feminism, Health and Suburbia. 7 CommentsNow that Chef and I are legal, I had him added to my work insurance policy (aren’t I sweet?). Working in a small local restaurant, he’s unlikely to ever have the option of buying into a work-related plan, and dog knows we’ll never be able to afford private coverage. The truth is that [...]
Chef and I pulled in late last night from our post-nuptial vacation (not honeymoon) bleary-eyed and suffering from major sinus infections. It figures I would get sick during the biggest trip of my life, but nevertheless we had an awesome time with lots of stories that, to my surprise, bear anecdotal political import. [...]

I still say blue.
CHOW magazine used to be carried at one of Chef’s favorite magazine vendors, but inexplicably disappeared from the shelves awhile back. We were very sad.
Imagine how excited he’ll be to know that his schnookums got a mention on the CHOW blog for a bitchy aside I made because I’m bitter that I’m denied real [...]
Hell Day 2, With Soup Dribbling Down Numb Chin
Published August 15th, 2007 in Chef, Complaints Dept., Food and Health. 13 CommentsGoddamn if one of my favorite things to do in life is eat and I can’t even do that. How long will this hell go on? I’ve been living on tea, pudding, and cup-a-soup for two days now and I’m getting more than cranky. Whiny, even. Bitchy is in my character, [...]
I could kill Chef for getting this song stuck in my head for four days running now. This was significantly more pleasant an ear worm.
Nevertheless I needed to highlight the joys that Indiana has unleashed upon the world. You can thank me anytime.
