Jordan Reid, poster of recipes, lover of food, is showing her respect for your recipe by totally effing up your recipe: Sunday morning, I made a retooled version of Sharyn’s Spinach Quiche for Nadine and Kendrick. It may look pretty, but…eh. I tried to make it a touch healthier by skipping the cheese and replacing the heavy cream with light cream, and I left out the fried onions because I couldn’t find them in my supermarket, and all of these things were bad ideas. It was too spinach-y, and oddly textured, and since I used fewer ingredients, the filling didn’t...

Penolope Trunk, person who claims to be influential, just couldn't resist fishing for her own pageviews by posting a linkbait aside at Dooce. Apparently Miss Trunk feels she is the world's authority on divorce because, you know, she went through one, and obviously all divorces and their causes are exactly the same. She feels she knows enough about every person's circumstances to declare that there is no excuse for divorce - and then blasts Il Dooce in what is surely the entire reason for this uninformed garbage of a post: Heather Armstrong is a great blogger who I have followed for years. But...

All you actual writers who contemplated burning down the internet after Jordan Reid's first book deal, please hand over your matches - Shillshackle Sham already has a second book coming out in 2015. After reminding everyone that she's pregnant, Shilshackle announces "Well, now I have another big project due around that time, too." Coming from Running Press in Spring 2015: book No. 2, Carrying On. (The manuscript goes in at the end of the summer.) Now, don't you struggling real writers all feel that the money and years spent on education, building credibility, and honing talent were all worth it? Guess you should've...

seanpercival My new office http://flic.kr/p/73ZrhH2 minutes ago from Flickr Random, unorganized computers, with an empty chair lording over it all. It's how I imagine twitter looks in my brain. Moments after this photo was taken, Mr. Percival broke into the Macarena, then proclaimed the Macarena "not gay at all".

Remi Bader, back pain, is claiming her Halloween costumes on Poshmark are 'unworn'.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! We were sent home at 1 today and I don't have to be back in until Tuesday, so I thought I'd try to knock out the first half of this week's Book Club this afternoon, then wrap it up tomorrow afternoon. Since I never finish them in one day anyway, amirite. I hope you have Monday off because we're about to begin a journey into the land of beige that may require several days of recovery. Of course I'm talking about 'Cupcakes and Cashmere At Home', the second book by Emily Schuman.  Let us proponent! (more…)
