Well, since you all thought the Easter picture was so cute,
I thought I'd give you one more--me when I was four.

I think we're heading for CUTE overload here, Robyn.
I'll have to start using かわいい　instead, which you very definitely are.

Dive, this looks like jibberish in the comment box, but in the e-mail version of your comment, it appears to Japanese. ??

Damn! I often comment to perople in Japanese. Do you mean that the characters don't come out, or is it just that you cannot read them?
(The first is a squiggly thing with a dash; the second has a hook thing on the right hand side; the third and fourth are two slightly bendy lines).
If they look different to this, please let me know and I'll stop doing it. They look fine on all my computers.
Also, are the characters on my old Japanese posts readable or just somputer rubbish? I'm worried now …
The word is "kawaii" by the way ("cute" in Japanese).

Dive, when I look at this while using my laptop, the Japanese is just double dashes, but it comes through on emails (I get email allerts with comments. Later I'll check it on the Mac and see if it works better. My Mac is loaded with fonts.

Hey Rich. I have a big G5 with a giant monitor and I don't know how many gig of ram for all of my graphics work. I would love an iBook, but my laptop is a peuny little pc that I inherited from my daughter when she graduated to something better. It serves it's purpose.

Are you thinking about an iBook?

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in the green beans and half of the onions. -Bake until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with the remaining onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. *Or cook 1 ...

Bring On the Bombs

In today's edition : I generally try to keep on top of cultural trends even if I don’t adopt them, but there is a growing movement that I have only just discovered. Not long ago, I was walking along in Berkeley, California while visiting my daughter, and I saw a signpost that had been covered with yarn, like someone had sewn a knitted scarf to it. It was colorful and randomly striped, and I pointed it out as if it were the most unusual thing in the world. That’s when my daughter explained the nature of what is known as yarn bombing. It’s when knitters attach something they’ve created to a public object, most often doing their deed stealthily and anonymously. They leave a “bomb,” so to speak, for no other purpose than to brighten up the place and to bring a little cheer to those passing by. Their work has been equated with graffiti, except that the woven yarn is not permanently installed and does no damage to the object it covers. And instead of signifying the territory of a street ...

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...
