What’s the one item in your kitchen you can’t possibly cook without? A spice, your grandma’s measuring cup, instant ramen — what’s your magic ingredient, and why? When I moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1992, I was introduced to this magical seasoning “Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning” by my various authentic Louisiana born friends. We […]
We all loathe nightmares. Mine tend to come and go in spurts, usually linked to some stressor but lately a “spurt” has been hanging around. I wake up with adrenaline coursing through me so I can’t sleep, but I’m exhausted after a week of this. I’ve tried all sorts of things – soothing cups of […]
What is my most prized possession? Well, I excluded living creatures so I went searching the house. And I picked this: Ledcat found this adorable pillow via Commonwealth Press and purchased one as a Christmas Gift for me. It is adorable, but it is also practical – I prop my head up with it […]
After yesterday’s post asking fans of “Days of Our Lives” to demand NBC speak out against the atrocities the Russian government is levying against their LGBTQ citizens, I realized that it certainly doesn’t stop with NBC soaps.ABC’s General Hospital has a frontburner story with the evolving love triangle of Brad Cooper torn between Felix DuBois […]

There are thousands if not millions of webpages and social media sites […]

One of the truly bright spots from the Grammy’s and the debate around Macklemore is the emergence of queer musician Mary Lambert. We had a chance to review the EP and it is terrific. You may have heard “She Keeps Me Warm” which is a lovely love song reminiscent of Alicia Keys (to me) and. […]
When was the last time you were embarrassed? How do you react to embarrassment? In the year 2010, I decided to lose weight so I started a rigorous exercise (walking) program and monitored what I ate. It was successful in that I lost 50 pounds in about 6 months. Unfortunately, the reason I was successful […]
(If you said to yourself “good” I can’t really blame you.) Today was a perfectly normal day. I woke up and Ledcat had gone to work early. I fed the dogs, fed the cats, fed me and made coffee. I read the paper online. Well, sort of read because the Post-Gazette website is just infuriating […]
