Because Your Mouth Can’t Handle Crunchy Things
I went to the dentist yesterday, and I'm still crabby about it. I had two fillings and a sealant done. This is on top of all the other teeth I've been having "touched up" since last July. I am SO cranky. "Oh, K, how's it … Continue reading Because Your Mouth Can’t Handle Crunchy Things
Landlocked: Poetry for the Stomach

Masticated Movies: Hobbit Food
You've decided that this is the weekend that you draw the shades, put on your comfy-ugly-pants, update your AIM status to "AFK", and watch Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, beginning to end. Good for you. That's 11 hours and 26 minutes of captive … Continue reading Masticated Movies: Hobbit Food
You & Your Crockpot: A Love Story
