Thursday, September 19, 2013. My office recently started up a book club, which is awesome, even if that means I'm somehow in three book clubs. (Oops.) We're currently reading Wolf Hall. Which is about Thomas Cromwell. So far, I'm not a huge fan of the writing style- historical fiction in present tense is a bit silly- but, I'll withhold further judgment until I have finished the book. So I am privy* to the many ways in which gas can go terribly wrong. That says to me that, at least historically, our socie...

Monday, October 7, 2013. Alan brilliantly suggested baking cookies this weekend. When he asked what my favorite cookies are, I immediately responded, "Snickerdoodles! So, when Alan and I decided that we were going to make snickerdoodles, I immediate texted my mom to ask for the recipe, because no other would do! We were entertained that my iPhone wanted to autocorrect to "snicker doodles," which we imagined to be excessive chortling while drawing. I was pleased with how our snickerdoodles turned out, jus...

Tuesday, November 5, 2013. In Which I Quote Christian Stuff at You. And I have been reading some good things lately for our weekly Catholic chat via Skype. The Problem of Pain. During the month of October, we read The Problem of Pain. By CS Lewis. I've always loved C.S. Lewis, from my childhood readings of the classic Chronicles of Narnia. To my later explorations of his Christian writings such as Mere Christianity. And The Screwtape Letters. I also loved this quote:. I was rather surprised that one of t...

Thursday, January 2, 2014. Why I'm Going Pescetarian. I could have continued in this "flexitarian" state, but I decided that I wanted to commit to something more specific. There are a number of reasons why someone might choose to reduce or eliminate their consumption of animal products, but these are the reasons that most motivate me:. Humane Treatment of Animals. A number of the people in my life whom I most love and respect are vegetarian. I want to join their ranks. I'm choosing to continue to eat sea...

Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Confession: until recently, I had no idea how to stir-fry. You'd think it be simple, what with the primary instructions being right there in the name, but I had no idea what to do. My family never make it growing up, so I had no experience making it. I'm fairly adventurous in my cooking as an adult, but somehow stir-fry never made it into my repertoire. Veggies that Alan and I receive every two weeks. I can't get it crispy! What are your favorite things to stir-fry together?

In the pursuit of His justice: H2Oh No!
http://inthepursuitofhisjustice.blogspot.com/2014/02/h2oh-no.html
Tuesday, February 4, 2014. I'm concerned about the California drought. I want to do my part to help with conservation, so I started researching ways to cut back on my water usage. Apparently, 50% of residential water use occurs outdoors, so I'm already way below average on that front, what with my lack of yard. Nonetheless, there are some. That urban dwellers can do:. Turning the faucet off while brushing teeth or shaving saves about 10 gallons a day. Our property manager did toilet leak tests yesterday,...

In the pursuit of His justice: San Francisco Living: A Year in Review
http://inthepursuitofhisjustice.blogspot.com/2013/11/san-francisco-living-year-in-review.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. San Francisco Living: A Year in Review. Fact: I still have two boxes I have yet to unpack. I moved into my apartment a year ago today. It's funny that I ended up living in the city, because I never aspired to move to San Francisco. Really, I just wanted to shorten my commute. With all the recent reports. I'm also thankful that my building is rent controlled, so I only experienced a 1.9% increase in rent this year. My other concern as I moved into my apartment was the size.

Wednesday, August 28, 2013. The Monday before last, on my way out the door, I grabbed a box of granola bars I'd been meaning to take to work. I quickly shoved the box in my bag and hurried out the door to face the large number of phone calls I had stacked up for the day. When I got to work, I pulled the box out of my bag, and discovered this:. Unbeknownst to me, Alan had left an adorable, punny note on my granola bars because I had mentioned that I was bringing them to work! Alan was diabolical, and the ...
