Everybody cooks osso bucco differently, and almost everybody can do it well. Below is the recipe I use. It makes dinner for three. Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. 4) Add t...

A relatively witty commentary on culture and society. Tuesday, October 25, 2005. Feminism vs. Moms. Despite my Clintonian-era liberal ethics in almost all other areas of life, I’m pretty damn conservative when it comes to families. More to the point, I think mothers, if it is economically viable, should stay home with their kids.

A relatively witty commentary on culture and society. Tuesday, July 19, 2005. Jess' Pensieve On Half Blood Prince. So I finished Half-Blood Prince. At 5 am this morning and it was amazing; definitely now my second favorite in the Harry Potter series, right after Goblet of Fire. Resurrection could be lame as Hell. I think it's a clue) even though I think a resurrection would be somewhat contrived, even if done well. But perhaps that's just my X-Files conspiracy mind talking, from years of watching a show ...
