TSquared: Encouraging the young writer
http://tsquaredblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/encouraging-young-writer.html
Mmmm reading and eating. Sunday, November 10, 2013. Encouraging the young writer. I recently had a request from a parent for reading recommendations for her nine-year-old who is a very advanced reader and writer. I thought I would share what I came up with. For writing guides, I would recommend a pairing of the sublime and the ridiculous. In my opinion, every serious writer, no matter what age, should have a copy of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style. I think the illustrated version. Are all great&...

Mmmm reading and eating. Friday, March 9, 2012. Making Toast by Roger Rosenblatt. This week, I wrote a book report for the other blog I feed, www.onebravethingaday.com. That's the blog for the book I'm working on- the inspirational memoir of my co-author, Linda Lewis Keeney. Since we started writing together, Linda and I have been reading and comparing notes on books that might be good comparisons to ours. I chose Making Toast. Want to read my recommendation for Making Toast. Wednesday, March 7, 2012.

TSquared: November 2012
http://tsquaredblog.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Mmmm reading and eating. Monday, November 12, 2012. Random Acts of Reading guest post: backlist. I love the book blog prompts Erin at Random Acts of Reading. Gives us every month. For November, we got to think about older favorites for kids. No surprise that the other bloggers' contributions had me going, "Oooh! I knew she was a kindred spirit! See the whole fabulous list and sing a variation of that song from childhood: "Read new books, but read the oll-lld; Some are silver and the others GOLD.".

http://tsquaredblog.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Mmmm reading and eating. Monday, May 21, 2012. Book club, here we come. Just finished Treasure Island! By Sara Levine. Fast, fun, sly, and oddly and unexpectedly sweet. I get to lead discussion of it Saturday night at Book Mixer. Here's hoping we get a good crowd! Music pairings for this book might be songs by The Decembrists, The Pogues, and Regina Spektor. Other suggestions? Music and book pairings. Friday, May 4, 2012. Speaking of picture books. I participated in Random Acts of Reading's blogger panel.

TSquared: August 2012
http://tsquaredblog.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Mmmm reading and eating. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. A page-turner: "12.21" by Dustin Thomason. Back in the 1990s, I studied Biology and read Michael Crichton medical thrillers for escapism. and I also met a very nice boy who had been friends with my best friend from childhood. We all wound up in college together, and that nice boy and I took some pre-med requirements together. He went on to med school, but that wasn't all- he also wrote a best-seller called The Rule of Four. Thursday, August 2, 2012.

TSquared: April 2012
http://tsquaredblog.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Mmmm reading and eating. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. At left, you can see all that's left of the batch of spicy sweet potato no-fry fries I made for dinner tonight. I'm still trying to figure them out, but even in this beta phase, they're pretty darn irresistible. Here's how I did it (my almost-recipe):. Peel a sweet potato and cut it into fry-shaped pieces, just a bit bigger than McDonald's fries. Toss with a dash of cayenne pepper, a dash of salt, and a few dashes of chili pepper.

The Purly Gate (a knitters cult): Long Weekend
http://thepurlygate.blogspot.com/2009/05/long-weekend.html
The Purly Gate (a knitters cult). Tuesday, May 26, 2009. I hoped on a train at about 9 am and arrived in Wells, Maine by about 10:30. After getting off the train, I hoped on my bike and headed down Route 1 to Ogunquit, where I visited Perkins Cove. At Perkins Cove I got off my bike and took a stroll along Marginal Way. Lest you think that I am all about traveling and not knitting at all, here is some evidence that there is some yarn action happening here:. Posted by Jeanette at 6:45 AM. We Have A Button!

http://thepurlygate.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
The Purly Gate (a knitters cult). Monday, October 31, 2005. In other news, I just ordered some Peruvian Collection Baby Cashmere and Baby Silk to make. From Knitty. I basically tried to copy exactly the colors chosen by the designer because I thought they were both interesting and beautiful together. I am also going to use some Baby Cashmere to make. Finally, I was very bad and ordered the new. Obviously, it would be easier to just to go the bookstore and buy it, but we must save money, musn't we? I also...
