What's On Your Desk


Prudence has posted some lovely cozy pictures of her two cats on her desk (I am extremely jealous!). I have nothing to show but this mess. The green things are my finger puppets--they help me design book covers. The thing-a-ma-jig is two dancing lady bugs, and the mini-Etcha-a-Sketch is just fun to play with. The Goofy mug holds my coffee, and the little black container holds my 72% chocolate. Ho hum.

That looks suspiciously neat, young Robyn.
My desk looks much the same as when I last posted it except maybe slightly messier.

Oh, I'm so glad I don't have my camera with me! My desk is a mess. But how come you're only showing part of your desk, Robyn? ;)

OK, my desk is shockingly tidy, but I just moved in last week. Give me time to make it as messy as my home office. Only part of it shows here because I used the camera on the Mac. The rest is just as empty. Maybe I need for candy. Oh, and mechanical pencils. I can never have too many mechanical pencils.

I posted a picture of my messy desk at home. It's looked worse! I love dark chocolate too, I almost always have some in my desk drawer at work. (At home I prefer gummy bears...) And I can never have too many mechanical pencils either, because I'm constantly losing or misplacing them.

My desk here at home is both messy and ugly, so no pictures from me!

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 ...
