I like a pre review. All my hopes and dreams are now pinned on this new fridge that is being delivered today. Before we moved in to this house i had convinced myself that keeping a giant house clean would be easier than our smaller open floor plan loft apartment. *queue fake laugh and then [...]
fried stuffed zucchini blossoms, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. mince and saute zucchini and garlic, mix into goat cheese and stuff in to zucchini blossoms washed and dried, dip in egg then flour with salt and pepper and fry in oil. I’m obsessing about how good these were. Need more.
plums from the backyard!, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr.
Pripyat Bumper Cars, a photo by simonlush on Flickr. These pictures taken in Pripyat are so sad and beautiful. I can’t stop looking at them.
amy butler skirt layered barcelona, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. Measuring challenged I’ve been sewing again! yay! I made two very cute bathing suit tops. One with some left over cherry fabric and some with this totally horrendous 80′s swimsuit fabric. ugh! it’s black eight turquoise and light pink brush strokes. *shudder* I finished [...]
Susannah’s birthday may pole, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. Here is jack looking cute with a may pole. This was my very first may pole. I was a little nervous about it, picturing young girls in white cavorting laughingly or some shit. ACtually it was a bunch of lumbering parents with tiny kids in [...]
doll bedding, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. I bought this little balsa wood doll bed the other day and then decided that it needed a mattress and bedding. I sewed the mattress and pillow with yellow ticking and stuffed them with poly fill. I used an old Holly Hobby sheet to make a fitted [...]
Jack and the sea star, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. Cute photo of Jack at the Academy of Science. We ended up there the other day after having brunch with some friends. I realized that jack is finally old enough to go into the planetarium! too bad tickets to it sell out super early. [...]
I had a great time at the bringing back the natives garden tour today. I saw 5 gardens and all were lovely and very inspiring! I bought some plants at one place. Yarrow, coyote mint and some chia sage (Salvia columbariae) Vim and I have pretty much just thrown a bunch of stuff willy nilly [...]
chicken egg, a photo by Minnibird on Flickr. We have chicken eggs! Buffy and Red have been laying, mostly one egg a day. The eggs are about medium sized and do look lovely and more golden yellow with the white all firm and standy upy than store bought eggs. They have chosen NOT to lay [...]
orpington Originally uploaded by Minnibird yeah, I know. Not the most original name for a buff orpington. whatever! We got some chickens! I love them. Soon they will lay eggs. Soon I will build them a bigger run and hen house. Soon I will get more.
V’ger died this morning or last night, I guess. I went in around 12:00am and she was curled up in my drawer and I gave her some food. She looked up at me and I petted her and then I went to bed. I think I knew something was wrong because she didn’t get up [...]
bottomless popovers Originally uploaded by Minnibird Did you know that you get a bottomless basket of popovers when you have breakfast at the Cliff House? Totally true. We went over there last weekend and it must have been a spring tide because it was low enough to walk from Ocean Beach to the Sutro Baths. [...]
I voted! Originally uploaded by Minnibird I love that my polling place is about 10 feet away from my house. However, I was sad to see that only 21 people have voted there so far today. OMG! GO VOTE!
House Originally uploaded by Minnibird Well, we signed some loan papers. I’m so nervous. What if this loan doesn’t go through and we try to get another loan but it takes too long and we miss the deadline? We’re dealing with a bank and I think that we have no wiggle room in the timing [...]

Yes, indeed! Thank you very much! The symptoms of scurvy do not necessarily occur in a regular order, but generally the first sign is an inflamed, swollen condition of the gums. The [...]

I’m reposting this from my sister’s blog. Win a ticket to Blogher ’10 Conference and contribute to a worthy cause. Jenny, of Three Kid Circus, is raffling off her sister’s Blogher ticket.
