Have a Happy New Year
2011-12-31 22:59:00
I've been gone so long that the emails have stopped coming and I've stopped looking. But for those kind enough to wonder where I've taken off to I thought I'd at least let you know we're alive and well and looking forward to another year but I'm afraid life has given me other things to do instead of blogging. Here's a picture of our last camping trip at the end of the summer at Quartz Creek where we had a great time and the kids kayaked and rode horses till they nearly dropped from exhaustion.  Andrew, Spencer and Grace ran the zombie half-marathon at Halloween and now she's waiting nervously for her college application to BYU to got through. We're all pulling for her and think she's definitely going to get in but it's up in the air till we have that letter in hand, right? Spencer's been busy with cross country skiing and running and his graphic design business is booming, he's had four or five clients so far and is finishing up a series of ten or so graphics rig...

Talkeetna, Alaska--the Top of the World
2011-08-16 20:42:00
Long time, no see? Well today--most glorious of days--is the First Day of School which means I have time to take a shower without being interrupted. I can finally eat breakfast sitting down and possibly find some time to do a bit of writing here and there. We've had a nice summer--Grace worked for the Parks and Rec department again. She now has a motor scooter (I should post pictures) and I even have a new nephew. The men took a 50+ mile kayak trip on Lake Louise, they also hiked to Gull Rock and I've been reading lots of great books while they're out sleeping in their tents.  And today--officially--Grace is a senior, Spencer a freshman, David hits middle school and Lillian is in fourth grade. Zowee! Time flies! In celebration of the event we spent Sunday night at my parents' cabin and Monday morning we drove into Talkeetna--that coolest of cool Alaska n cities where climbers start their journey up Denali. There are probably more airplanes in town than cars--in fact, I...

Barbecue Soup
2011-06-06 10:00:00
My mom came back from a trip to the Outer Banks last month, raving about some soup she'd had there. Apparently it was good enough to warrant a scouring of the internet for the recipe that could copy such gastronomical bliss, and (lucky for me) she was successful. Listed as "Get a Husband Stew," it makes the prodigious claim of being the soup with the power to change your marital status. That, sir, is no small boast. And if that wasn't enough to rouse my interest, Mom said that while she didn't get any more husbands after fixing this soup, it certainly did delight and thrill the husband she had already acquired. She dubbed it "Barbecue Soup "--maybe on account of not wanting any more husbands--and she changed the recipe a bit from what she pulled off the web and then when I copied it from her I did things ever-so-slightly different. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit, though I can't guarantee the husband-attracting effects if you deviate from what I've got below: ...

Batter Up
2011-06-02 21:54:00
I am taking a solemn pledge here today. Never, ever, EVER again will my children play team sports. Or at least not through city teams and leagues--and I mean it.  Go ahead and call me the Scrooge of little league but after what I've been through the past month even a beating with a baseball bat would be welcome relief. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit but I can't count how many times Andrew and I have shaken our heads this past month and said, "How do parents do it? Are they all completely insane? And why was it we joined their ranks?" Oh yes, it was because we wanted to be good parents, wanted to bring joy into the life of our little Little Leaguer but all it's done is beleaguer the whole family. I think it started when David, years ago, decided he liked baseball and since we're all about physical fitness, fun times and the enjoyment of a good game I signed David up with the local team. I remember how he had a lot of games and a lot of practices, and I vaguely ...

World's Easiest Dessert, I Promise.
2011-05-29 04:57:00
Long time, no see? Thanks again for the emails--it's really nice to know that if I ever went truly missing that you'd all send out the Navy Seals to come find me. Makes me feel appreciated! I have another post in the works for later this week but for now I thought I'd share with you the excitement I'm feeling over discovering the world's easiest dessert. I know that's so hyperbolic but truly it is the easiest--just you wait and see. It comes from Apartment Therapy's Kitchn Blog which I faithfully follow and it's banana ice cream with only one--count it one--ingredient. Bananas. Yup, bananas and only bananas. All you do is freeze some bananas (they were on sale this week so I grabbed a dozen or so and popped them directly into the freezer) then peel them (that's important).  Then puree them into ice cream in your food processor until they're the proper consistency--something similar to soft serve ice cream which you can then let ripen in the freezer if you want it ...

My Thumbing Is Greening As We Speak
2011-04-18 21:00:00
I'm getting SO ready for spring. Usually the pattern is as follows: I hate the thought of spring cleaning, then I despise the idea, then I wonder if maybe I can just ignore it this year (who but me will care anyway?) then one day I wake up and it's sunny and beautiful and 50 degrees and it hits me. I go for the bucket and rags and I'm off on a germ-killing spree. Room by room for about ten days until I have one beautifully clean house. I just wish I could take each of you on a personal tour of my dust-free corners. I'd point out the previously filthy yet now pristine shelves in the kids' rooms, I'd beg you to inspect my light fixtures and under my dust-free bed. I'd even offer you to join me for lunch in my gloriously clean kitchen. Yes I'm aware that I'm not normal but I get my kicks where I can. Anyway, Saturday after cleaning a room I went out and raked the yard, washed my windows and cleaned out the flower beds in the front (there's still too much snow in the back t...

It's Your Fault, You Know
2011-04-14 21:02:00
Why I haven't posted this week (I mean). It's your fault because in my last post I asked for recommendations on good podcasts and got some wonderful tips. Which means, of course, that I have walked around plugged into my iPod all week long until my ears are starting to get a little sore. No, I'm serious. I think I might need to take a break from it all, because last night I found myself simultaneously cooking dinner, listening to the piano practicing going on downstairs with one ear and then listening to a podcast with the other ear. The phone rang and when I went to answer it I'd forgot I had a podcast going and as I hurriedly answered I kind of jammed the ear bud into my brain with the phone receiver like some pneumatic drill on a rivet. It wasn't pretty.  They should put a warning label on it or something. So thank you--and curse you--for your great recommendations. At least I have two ears, right? But I thought I'd at least share something that I found quite moving...

Anyone for Podcasts?
2011-04-06 18:53:00
I've had an iPod for quite a few years now but only in the last year have I finally harnessed its full potential--I've discovered podcasts. I am completely in love with these guys, leaving me to abandon local radio stations for good, and now whenever I'm riding my bike or driving in the car alone or doing my housework I'm plugged in and listening to all sorts of crazy-yet-compelling information. This morning after dropping the kids off at school I listened to a short biography on Hedy Lamarr, an Austrian actress from the 1940s who was considered by some to be the most beautiful woman in the world (and if this photo is accurate I'd tend to buy into that assessment) but not only was she gorgeous she was an inventor that produced a system of frequency hopping for World War II weaponry that has since lead to what we call "spread system technology" and is used in security systems in everything from wireless routers to cell phones.  Pretty and amazing. Oh, and flaky too. But ...

Crossroads
2011-03-28 19:23:00
Okay, so you've heard me gripe from time to time about schools. In the back of mind there has always been the nagging thought, "So why don't you stop complaining and actually do something about it??" So I'm here to report (go ahead and laugh at me if you wish) that I'm getting ready to make a big jump. I'm considering home schooling. Of course I should be more specific--I don't typically "approve" (my, doesn't that sound so condescending?) of homeschooling.  It's a fine idea in principle but my completely unscientific anecdotal studies have shown me that most people who attempt this amazing feat tend to produce inferior results.  Don't get me wrong--I'm not condemning it outright, it's just that among all the billions of people I know who have tried to homeschool their kids I've only seen three--count them three--cases where I thought the experience a success. More often I seen children who have a hard time socializing (though that's a horribly worn-out arg...

We've Got Grass, People!
2011-03-22 17:44:00
Yes, it's official. I have grass showing in spots in my yard. You have no idea what that does to me. In fact, it's got me dreaming of summer and warmer times to come which goes just fine with these posts on beauty tips: How to cut bangs (I so needed this) Tips for the French pedicure And Caring for Your Heels (mine aren't quite that bad but I do need help) And finally, this video just cracks me up. I keep wondering how the whole thing came about and it must have been that one of the guys saw the ad in the NY Times advertising the exhibit and thought, "Hey, that looks just like Jeff!" and so great comedy was born. What cracks me up the most is the guy that stops them at the end--if he'd been smart he would have hired them right there on the spot. I can't think of a more brilliant publicity stunt than this. I would have gone to the museum that day just to see it all go down.© 2005-2011 Scribbit, LLC all rights reserved

Retirement Should Be Retired
2011-03-21 09:00:00
I love technology. I love science and engineering and all the beautiful things they've created from maps of our genes to particle accelerators to indoor plumbing and cable tv.  When I think of the 76 billion people who have made their way through this world then consider how amazing it is to live in such a time it kind of scares me but what really scares me is how our technology and our abilities tend to outstrip our wisdom.  We haven't quite figured out how we fit into this society we've created. I've written about the new phenomenon of adolescence but as I've watched the fury of the political standoff between unions and bankrupt state governments it's occurred to me that my logic didn't go far enough--that while the 20th century created the extended childhood of the teen years it simultaneously created the other complimentary freak of nature: retirement. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that there is very little difference between adolescence and retirement.&nb...

Where Am I?
2011-03-16 15:42:00
Let's see . . . where have I been? Well, most recently I've been scrambling for a last-minute prom dress.  No, not for me silly.  For Grace. The good news is that she's got a date but the bad news is that it cost me $20 in overnight shipping. And I mean that in the nicest, happiest-mom sort of way. She has beautiful taste though--see her selection? It's a vintage 1950s dress from Etsy that will fit her perfectly (sigh . . . to have a figure that size again) and will go great with her strawberry-blond locks. I've also been reading like crazy.  A few books on ancient history (go ahead and ask me about the Sumerians--I'm all over it) then True Grit (loved the movie) and The Eagle of the Ninth (ditto) and now I'm working on a biography of Napoleon by Paul Johnson.  If you're ever into history Paul Johnson is the way to go--I'm just hoping he gets his biography on Socrates finished before he . . . uh . . . shuffles off this mortal coil (he's about 105 I th...

Oh My Goodness I'm in Love
2011-02-16 05:36:00
Oh wow oh wow oh wow! I got a flyer in the mail advertising a boutique here in town that sells Oleana sweaters. I'd never heard of them before but the gorgeous photos on the card sent me hunting the web for more information. And I have good news and bad news. First the good news: you can readily find places that sell these beautiful clothes. And the bad news?  They come from the little town of Bergen, Norway where they are produced and sold for what can only be an excrutiatingly high price.  How high? Well I'm not sure except that it was reported that during Ms. Obama's last trip to the area she picked up several . . . you know? When her husband was tied up in Oslo with some little presentation or other? In fact I have yet to find an actual price on any site I saw and that can only be a very, very bad indicator--kind of like a restaurant so fancy it doesn't print the prices on the menu? And under the theory that if you have to ask how much it costs you can't affor...

Happy Monday
2011-02-14 20:39:00
Well I saw this household tip a year or two ago and I'm not sure why I finally got around to trying it (maybe because I ran out of dryer sheets?) but it completely works like a charm. Instead of dryer sheets, crumple a bit of aluminum foil into a four-inch ball and toss it in with your laundry to control static.  You have my word that I tested it myself just this week and it really does work. Of course it doesn't give you that wonderful fake-flower, manufactured-perfumy, sickly-heavy, synthetic smell like a dryer sheet does which is a down-side for those of you who love that scent (can you tell where I stand on the issue?) but then nothing is perfect. And the best part is that it's reusable.  No need to send me flowers in appreciation, just knowing that your laundry is static-free and economical is thanks enough. Though I've always thought it would be nice to have someone name a child in my honor. . . . And in unrelated news, this weekend Andrew and I saw The Eagl...

If I've Learned Anything . . .
2011-02-09 19:13:00
I have loved reading all the comments, advice, questions and emails you've sent with your own thoughts about reaching middle-age and while I don't know that I've got a book's worth of information on the subject (give me another 20 years and a lot more wisdom) I'll give you a few tender tidbits of things I have I've learned. Be Content I remember the nights of getting up with the babies or the torture of potty training (I'd go through childbirth again twice over if I could avoid potty training) but I didn't appreciate what it was teaching me.  Patience, organization, humility, perseverance . . . all things more valuable to my life than a degree or certificate but I tended to constantly think about how great things would be once I was onto something new. But all that wiping and cleaning and teaching gives life a great deal of purpose--in fact, when people ask that question, "Why do so many bad things happen in the world?" I tend to think it's simply to give us all some...

My Own Little Mid-Life Crisis
2011-02-07 20:37:00
I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day and she said to me, "You know, you hear a lot about being a mom in those toddler years when you have kids.  People give you plenty of advice about how to get through having little kids around but no one ever talks about what to do when your kids are leaving home." And I completely agree.  I have one more year with our family being all together--where we're all around the dinner table laughing and quoting movies and I have to tell someone to eat their peppers and someone else to use their napkin and someone else to chew with their mouth closed.  I remember thinking that the years where they were in high chairs and I was constantly cutting up their meat or cleaning up spilled milk would last for eternity but in reality I've got more years of life without children than with children. Do I sound nostalgic?  Maybe even a bit overly sentimental? I appreciate all the emails and questions and concerns about where ...

Winter Time Beading
2011-01-19 18:57:00
I've been given quite a few craft books to review and some of them are quite good but this one (Stringing Style 2) is great.  In fact, of all the other bead and jewelry making books I've got this one is the best and to prove it here's the necklace I made from its pages. It's a bunch of green and green-brown pearls with greeny-brownish crystals strung between curved silver beads to make it look like a grapevine and I love it. Here's a shot of it that isn't quite so subtly blurry (you didn't know that was a haute-couture photography technique did you? Well it is. Kind of). The trickiest part is getting those curved beads because they didn't have any on hand here in town. Etsy is a great resource for that kind of thing. Mine were slightly longer than the ones the book called for so I only needed 21 instead of 23 but you get the general idea. Oh, and P.S. it seems to be warming up a bit. Maybe Spencer will get to have his ski meet after all. And as for other artistic ...

Deep into January
2011-01-18 19:43:00
As I sit here at the computer I can hear the grinding groan of the snow ploughs in the street--the snow has been piled up deep enough on the sides of the road that it's making it hard to get around so the ploughs come along, scrape the snow from the sides into one big three-foot berm down the middle of the road, then a front-end loader comes along and scoops up the row of snow into the waiting dump truck. They haul it off and dump it in spots around town, creating ramps of snow up the sides of the piles for the dump trucks to crawl up and unload, until the mountains grow so high they're as big as three-story buildings.  As spring comes they melt and all the dirt mixed into the snow remains behind, settling on top until the piles look like mountains of gravel and you'd never guess that under that gigantic mass there is enough snow to cover the state of Rhode Island (which isn't much of an exaggeration--there are glaciers around here that could easily cover the place).

Some Biographies for the New Year
2011-01-12 19:30:00
So are you exercising and getting in shape? Last fall I bought a second hand stationery bike (or is it stationary? I can't remember the difference between the two and it makes the difference between a bike that doesn't move and a bike you write on) to strengthen my knee and I kind of got hooked on it.  I love being able to read while I'm riding (but not writing--that would definitely be a stationary bike) and I've found that I'm 86% more likely to exercise if I've got a good book to read. My sister gave me an audio copy of A Treasury of Foolishly Forgotten Americans: Pirates, Skinflints, Patriots and Other Colorful Characters Stuck in the Footnotes of History by Michael Farquhar (an editor at the Washington Post, not the villain in Shrek, as at first I thought) and it got me through many miles. It's not exactly history from the David McCoullough-style professorial heaviness but darn it, I liked it. Each of the short chapters is dedicated to a different character--the k...

A Plethora of Good News
2011-01-11 20:04:00
Can you tell I'm happy? Last week was filled with check ups and doctor visits, mostly routine stuff for the kids, except that I finally got back to the surgeon after so many months of knee exercises. If you recall, when I saw him last summer after my knee injury he'd sent me to the physical therapist, preparatory to surgery on my ACL and meniscus.  I was rather depressed about the whole thing and since then when I haven't been whining about the prospect of being chopped up in major surgery I've been on the stationary bike or doing lunges to try and avoid what seemed to be the inevitable conclusion to my sad, mid-life story. Meanwhile Andrew began skiing again, taking Spencer and David and Grace instead of me and I was quite bitter about it all but last week I went back to the doctor to see how things had come along and if I were finally ready for surgery.  I was not-so-secretly hoping he'd say it was a miracle and that I was cured. Which is exactly what he said.&nb...

World's BEST Potato Salad with Comeback Sauce

I know this isn't exactly a Weight Watchers delight and would probably best be posted in the summer (because isn't that the proper time to be enjoying potato salad?) but honestly, this is the BEST potato salad that will ever bless your tastebuds. The word "bless" is not an understatement. I saw the recipe on Prissy Green and her superlatives intrigued me. I printed it off and set it aside, wondering if it possibly could be a recipe great enough to induce my husband to eat potato salad. Let's just say he's not a fan. Anyway, along came our yearly family Christmas party, where the women bring Fabulous Salad s of Wonder for the females and the men pig out on meat and sugar and the kids drink their body weight in soda.  It's a great system I tell you.  Having been assigned to bring a salad I decided to break the single greatest commandment of cooking: Thou shalt not experiment with new recipes upon thy guests as thou art begging for destruction (or at least abundant emba...

Someone Sent Me This Link . . .

After reading my post yesterday on the frustrations of flaky teachers my sister sent me this link along with an explanation: Williamsburg Academy is an online, accredited high school that offers video classes and mentoring for a fee. Now as I said yesterday, I'm not ready to throw the towl in on our neighborhood high school (yet).  If you are careful as to which teachers you request you can have a good experience--but there are times, such as this semester, when getting a dud is unavoidable.  Grace loves the humanities but instead of learning about arts and letters she's cutting numbers and walking like a sloth.  According to my sister, Carinne, Williamsburg is great for those who are homeschooling and want the benefits of a classroom setting but what I'm thinking is that it would also be a great tool for supplementing in situations such as Grace is facing. At this point Grace is close enough to her entrance exams and final semester that it wouldn't make a lot o...

No Sloth Left Behind
2011-01-07 21:04:00
The kids have been in school for a week and already Grace is grumbling about her new humanities class. Apparently "humanities" means something completely different from when I was in school.  No, it doesn't mean studying the fine arts and culture around us--just in case there was any confusion on that point. They've been assigned to read The Life of Pi.  I'm not sure why they're reading a novel in a humanities class (when I took humanities it was a lot of music and sculpture and painting and whatnot) and I have no idea why they're reading that particular novel, which seems to have about as much to do with humanities as my big toe but as if that weren't enough of a puzzler their first class activity was to cut out and design numbers. Big numbers. As in "pi." Each person took a different digit and they made their number big and pretty and then put them together to make pi. Probably because that activity is too stupid and irrelevant to be part of any math curriculum ...

I don't know if football was as big a part of your Christmas as it was here but for someone who doesn't like the game I sure end up having a lot of football around me. The kids are already starting to throw around predictions about who's going to win the Superbowl, usually peppered with comments about how great Tim Tebow and Michael Vick are.

Finally I'm back at the keyboard after a wonderful Christmas where we were so relaxed and laid-back that we ended up having Christmas dinner buffet-style in front of the television.  If you knew us you'd realize how crazy that is--we always eat at the table and TV is never part of the ambiance but it felt so good to do something different and relaxing after all those wonderful parties and dinners and get-togethers. (If that's how we go crazy around here we're pretty pathetic, huh?) And it felt good. Then for New Year's Eve we went north.  After nearly a month of temperatures hovering around zero things decided to warm up here in Anchorage with one of our random bursts of warm air from Hawaii so we escaped north to my parents' cabin where it was a perfectly balmy 30 degrees. Perfect for snowmachining and perfect for fireworks. Thirty degrees and plenty of snow as you can see from the picture where Andrew is snow-blowing out a path to the well so we can rev up the wa...

Yak Nym
2010-12-19 10:00:00
I've wondered what "yak nym" means--probably "fat from the belly of an ox" or something equally tempting.  But this stuff is much better than any ox you could get. It's a fast dinner, goes well with a side of rice and steamed vegetables, and stretches meat a long way so you eat a little less of the red stuff. And if you're like most Americans, less is better. 1 green onion, sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon sliced gingeroot ? cup soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame seeds 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon sugar 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak (or other comparable cut) bamboo skewers Soak skewers in a bowl of water for 30 minutes while preparing meat. Mix all remaining ingredients except the beff in a bowl. Then, once sugar is dissolved, add beef and marinate 2-3 hours. Skewer strips of beef on bamboo sticks then broil on high heat for 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and steamed vegetables.© 2005-2011 Scribbit, LLC all rights reserved

Tassimo T20 Single Server Brewer Giveaway

I know this looks kind of funny for me to be promoting a coffee maker (since I don't drink coffee) but for those who know me I have plenty of other weaknesses--i.e. hot chocolate.  And what caught my eye enough to agree to do a review was that this little gadget not only makes coffee but it makes fancy, nectar-of-the-gods, too-smooth-and-rich-for-words hot chocolate. Yes, you read that right. In fact, it makes all kinds of great hot drinks but for my purposes I'm going to focus on the hot chocolate angle because that's what makes me so happy and warm. The T20's claim to fame is it's ease of operation--just pop in the pre-packaged and prepared little drink disc--and *POOF* out comes your chocolate pleasure (or coffee, or chai tea or lattes or whatever--you have a whole flock of drinks to choose from).

Are you in the movie mood? I haven't been impressed with the offerings at the box office this year but we've hit some winners with the rentals lately. Earlier this summer I talked with Rob Reiner about his new movie Flipped (based on the book by the same name) and wanted to see it but it never made it to the theaters here in Anchorage for some reason. However, we did pick it up at Blockbusters this weekend and it was a huge hit.  I can't remember the last movie I enjoyed so much that was appropriate for the whole family to see.  From Lillian to Andrew we all enjoyed this coming-of-age flick told from the alternating perspectives of the boy (Bryce) and the girl (Julie).  With a great supporting cast, it also has plenty of good messages without being didactic or maudlin (vocab words for the day) and at the end there were things you could discuss that enforced the themes. Yes, a good movie--and how often do you get something of quality coming along? Well, as it tur...
