Scott of the Antarctic. Click on logos below to go to the blogs. I am of the generation who came of age as the analog world transformed into the digital world. As a child, I listened to a radio, played vinyl records, made mix-tapes on cassette. I got tickets torn, punched and stamped. I loaded 35mm film into a camera and used a photo booth for official documents. I read clocks with hands, dialed a telephone attached to the wall, wrote in a diary, used a typewriter (with onionskin paper! My original blog ...

Forte: Firefighter
http://forteinterview.blogspot.com/2015/02/whats-it-like-to-be-firefighter.html
What’s it like to be a. Friday, February 6, 2015. Thomas Louis D’Andrea, 41. City of Pittsburgh Firefighter. Years on the job: 9. Prior to becoming a Firefighter, I was a Union Building Trades Carpenter. When you were a child, did you conceive of doing this sort of thing when you grew up? What did you want to be? I never for one moment thought of being a Firefighter. What training does someone have to have to be a firefighter? What personal attributes must someone have in order to be a firefighter? I am ...

Yuckylicious: Sauerkraut Stuffed Pineapple
http://yuckylicious.blogspot.com/2013/07/sauerkraut-stuffed-pineapple.html
Exploring The World's Worst Cookbooks. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. This is because hummingbirds are attracted to bromeliads and end up pollinating them. But this is great! You say. How convenient! Isn’t nature wonderful! Surely the world could use more bromeliads! Hang on, what’s a bromeliad? Pollination. And what pollinates pineapples? Hummingbirds. Hence the ban. It sucks to be a hummingbird. Here is a picture of a pineapple stuffed with hot sauerkraut from Germany. Enjoy. The Cooking of Germany. Well, tha...

Micki's Grist Mill: Mapping Ourselves
http://mickimyers.blogspot.com/2015/01/mapping-ourselves.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. When I was a girl, I wanted the whole world, so for my birthday I asked for an Atlas. Back in 1979, that was just about the only way you could be given the whole world (unless you asked for a globe). I was an avid reader as a child — I read everything in the house that could be read. Mostly that involved field guides, cookbooks, old. I wonder if asked where they come from, and who they are, what they will say? Posted by Micki Myers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Yuckylicious: Mother’s Day
http://yuckylicious.blogspot.com/2014/05/mothers-day.html
Exploring The World's Worst Cookbooks. Sunday, May 11, 2014. For years, I worked at the bakery. Most of the time I was behind the counter, slicing loaves and putting éclairs in boxes, and keeping an eye out for the mice — there’s always mice in bakeries, as you can imagine. Once day Doris was out sick and an order came in for a decorated cake — Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad. Doris didn’t like this arrangement, and kept trying to sabotage me by hiding the equipment or botching the order by spelling ...

Yuckylicious: A Fate Worse Than Death
http://yuckylicious.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-fate-worse-than-death.html
Exploring The World's Worst Cookbooks. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. A Fate Worse Than Death. It was long thought that the very tiny German pixie men were nothing more than a novelty dreamed up to delight tourists and fashion cuckoo clock springs, and that once the penchant of northern Europeans for digital timepieces overcame their sentimental adoration of wooden ones, the miniature fellows would find themselves out of work. Today, these events are memorialized in the extremely small and hard to see plas...
