Atlantic Canada wasn't forecast to get the snowpocalypse that was supposed to hit the eastern US (I have the impression it wasn't as bad down there as expected either, at least not universally) but we were still supposed to get blizzard conditions that would make driving dangerous, so there were mass closures. My university sent out a text ( Read more... )

Hmm. I have a Sitemeter account attached to this journal, which lets me see what posts are being accessed by visitors to the journal (at least, the first and last entry they hit ( Read more... )

I found a bunch online which I printed and pasted in the book. A whole lot of them came from a Web site that doesn't seem to exist anymore, created by someone whose ( Read more... )

I brought along my famous stolen-from-Canadian Living banana bread (the entry containing that recipe is, by far, the most frequently-hit link on my blog) which is always popular. It's easy as can be, and if you don't have overripe bananas to use, you can freeze a couple overnight, thaw them out in the fridge during the day, and make the bread that ( Read more... )

Tonight we had our annual Christmas potluck at the boss's place. We had the usual assortment of tasty snacks--I brought my usual cheesy garlic mushroom bread, which a couple of my coworkers would not let me into the party without. (It's nice to feel appreciated, y'know ( Read more... )

We're having our holiday party tonight at a coworker's. I have, as I have for the last few years, made cheesy garlic mushroom bread for the occasion ( Read more... )
