Cookbook Controversy

Posted by Brandie on April 5, 2011 in General Drivel |

Don’t know how many of you caught the Today Show this morning where they were talking about the cookbook “100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know”.

My friend Machelle says it is “just something different” and she is excited to run out and buy her copy. But as we were going through the titles of the recipes, I feel a bit patronized.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42429088/ns/today-food/

Do I need titles like, Engagement Chicken and Hook ’em Apple Pie?

Marry Me Lasagna?

Forget the Mistake You Made at Work Margarita?

Let’s Make a Baby Pasta? Uhhh, NO THANKS…been there done that.

No Guy Required Grilled Steak – did I need a guy for that anyway? Did I miss something?

Will I probably buy the cookbook? Yes, although they didn’t publish a Kindle edition…Fail.

Will I cook engagement chicken…not on your life. I am a bit superstitious that way. 😉

Enjoy!

Gadget Gal Round 2

Posted by Brandie on April 4, 2011 in Technology |

Today I got another toy. Yes, I know it is completely pathetic but there are several things I just cannot do on my iPad.   So I broke down and bought a windows tablet.  You don’t have to remind me how bad my addiction is, that is what Dave is for, but in my defense […]

April Fool’s Randomness

Posted by Brandie on April 1, 2011 in General Drivel |

  I saw this the other night and thought it was cute.       Of course, it isn’t true, well, maybe the chocolate part. I also must admit, pie was involved, if that gives you an idea of where the sign was. 😉 Dave went along to keep me company. He is a good sport like that. I mention Dave a lot. I guess because he […]

World Backup Day

Posted by Brandie on March 31, 2011 in Technology |

This has geek humor all over it. It is apparently World Backup Day (April Fool’s Eve), we really are dorks…  Anyway, it is an important point. Backing up you computer is one of those things everyone knows they should do, and say they do, until it crashes and they sheepishly admit they may have missed one […]

Friends

Posted by Brandie on March 30, 2011 in Uncategorized |

I am trying to convince my daughter to change schools. She is not doing particularly well at the one she is currently attending and I would really like to enroll her in one close to my home up north. It isn’t going well… The first thing she starts worrying about is her friends. Of course, […]

Geek Post Alert: Wi-Fi Squatting!

Posted by Brandie on March 29, 2011 in Information Security |

I really want to make sure content here is original and mildly entertaining (or interesting) but when I read this article I decided to include it here in its entirety (it isn’t very long – that affected the decision). 😉 This has likely applied to all of us at one time or another. I know folks who have […]

Secret Love

Posted by Brandie on March 26, 2011 in General Drivel |

Yes, I have a secret love. It isn’t really a secret, I just haven’t told a lot of people. The truth is, Dave loves her too. Well maybe love is a bit stong in his case. I first spied her across a Barnes & Nobles I was in to pick up some Judy Moody book […]

Geek Post Alert! RSA

Posted by Brandie on March 25, 2011 in Information Security |

I have held it in as long as I can. REALLY? RSA? REALLY? Of course, I don’t know the details, just an infosec geek reading along with everyone else, but this is huge. I am not an alarmist and do happen to agree with Stephen Northcutt that the breach is not a game-changer, in the […]

Free Pie Wednesday

Posted by Brandie on March 23, 2011 in General Drivel |

Although Village Inn calls it Pie Rush Wednesday. From 10 am to 10 pm at any Village Inn across the country they have free pie with any purchase. There is, of course, some yada yada stuff with that, they feature certain “supreme pies” that are free but not all and while the young lady at […]

Sometimes its hard, to be a woman…

Posted by Brandie on March 22, 2011 in General Drivel |

Don’t get me wrong I am not saying it is hard in a, woe is me, kind of way. It is just really hard to figure out what to be when you grow up… I used to tell people that as a mom your world is full of guilt, when you are at work you […]
