What's for dinner?

Djej Emshmel. With apricots, extra garlic, and chickpeas. And rainbow couscous. Oh yeah!

As an after-thought, why is it, Google, that if I search for an image of Djej Emshmel, this is one of the top results?

P.S. Take that, SOPA!

If there's anything I'm NOT going to do tonight...

it's going to be obsessing over the South Carolina Primary. No sirree Bob.

Oh my...

I watched part of the Republican debate last night (the one in South Carolina). I didn't get to see all of it-- it was approaching the dudes' bed time, and we all sit down together and watch a show then. Anyway, I asked Will this morning if he had watched any of it (mostly he was horse-playing with Ethan). He said he did see a little, and then he said "And I learned something. I learned that America is almost destroyed." Ah, politicians.

Well then.

We have survived the craziness that is buying a house right before the holidays kick off. Should you have the option and are on the fence about doing so, I do not recommend it. BUT-- I love my house. :) SO. Regular reading, living, and blogging shall now recommence. Starting with reading the returns from the Iowa caucuses. And should you need another reason to start poking around here, things like this will start popping up more often too:

What Denise is reading this week...

The labels of packing boxes. Not a fan. Box-labels are not high literature, Surrender is Not an Option, however, was great. I would vote for John Bolten for president, should he ever run, if for no other reason than his evident delight in ticking off bureaucrats.

WFIRA!

This is one of my favorite things on the internet: Women fighters in reasonable armor. (Yes, I'm a nerd, but we've already established that, haven't we?)
You see, I like sci-fi. And fantasy. And video games. And I'm used to seeing women wearing "armor" that's not only not protecting any vital organs, but leaving them out there for the whole world to see. These pictures are not those pictures. And they rock. AND there's a whole BUNCH of Eowyns, my favorite lady in literature. Good nerdy stuff:)

What Denise is Reading this Month

Real estate papers. And bank statements. And inspection reports. And Surrender is Not an Option, just for some motivation.
