That gifted cake actually reminded me of the "Underneat That" cake that started it all!

Re. the Drunk Club cake - he's not just the decorator, he's also a member.
And who gets someone a cake to celebrate losing weight?!
WV word: marmi. I'm getting Little Women flashbacks.

These are fantastic. Well, fantastically bad. And funny.
That Far Side cartoon is one of my all time favorites.

I've swapped the vowels,
from the telephone call,
I've brought you creepy, bizarre, and everything that goes with it,
I've wrecked it all.
But it's been no bed of roses,
just swirls of poo.
I consider it a challenge,
how do you spell that?
I have no clue!
Congratu, gradu, radu lations!
We are cake wreckers, my friends.
And we'll keep on wrecking to the end.
Flotsam and Star Trek,
Barbie and green Shrek.
No time for grammar,
'cause we are cake wreckers
of the world........

OMG! Is that third cake from the same bakery as "the cake that started it all"?

Drunck is probably my new favorite way to spell drunk.
ANd I loooveee that Far Side cartoon.
- September 1, 2010 at 9:48 AM
When you said "Say, does this next cake remind you guys of anything?", I was hoping you were referring to that Far Side cartoon. Love it!

I just had to comment because of the word verification.
dudgi--The spelling on these cakes is a little dudgi.

It's ironic that so many people argue about the definition of irony.

You sure "drunck" and "Bea" weren't jokes?

I'm a big fan of Gary Larson, perhaps even the bigest. My favourite is the one when the little Visible Man, who is transparent with all organs, blood vessels, etc. showing through, breaks out of a toy store feeling free and full of optimism yet has no idea that he is about to repulse the world with his visible innards.

Jenniffer said the same thing I was going to!! I think it's the same cake with different writing :D
And does anyone else see the irony in a big chocolate cake for the "biggest loser" anyway?
- September 1, 2010 at 10:21 AM
- NYCGirl said...
Me too, Jenniffer!
- September 1, 2010 at 10:36 AM
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don't you realize that this post is highly offensive to all drunck teahers whose gifted students were the bigest losers at a spelling bea? For shame.
- September 1, 2010 at 10:49 AM

So I guess we could say about the 'Underneat That' cake "isn't it iconic?" ;)

What's odd and sad is that I *went* to Richmond Acdemy. (Class of 93)
Imagine my surprise that my high school showed up on Cake Wrecks.

It's gotta be a pun, Jenn.
No doubt young Beatrice (Bea) WON the spelling bee.
I need to believe that.

I love that their celebrating the "bigest loser"- weight loss- with a big freakin' chunk of chocolate cake! Way to support us fatties!!

Anyone else think the chocolate one looks like it says "Glendale Digest Loser?"

Hmmmm, reminds me of the time I misspelled "illiterate" at my college english program spelling bee. Stage fright, nonetheless.

a little too ironic, I REALLY do think....

Well, while we're making fun of people's spelling, there's no such word as 'alright'.
It's 'all right'.
There. Feel better?

Midvale School for the Gifted has got to be one of the most memorable Far Side comic. It's funny/sad that I immediately thought of it without Jen's prompting.
And with the first cake how ironic that they got "Appreciation" right (and it's a big word).
- September 1, 2010 at 11:47 AM
- ania said...
Oh my goodness! When I started going to a "dedicated" gifted school, my second oldest sister copied that comic and gave it to me.
- September 1, 2010 at 11:48 AM
As a gifted student, I'm highly offended. Don't you know how hard it is to be gifted, how people break into a "gifted" accent every time you walk into a room?
Actually, I did go to a magnet high school for science and technology and the school did sell a t-shirt with that Far Side comic on it (with our school's name on the sign). Awesome.
- September 1, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Kate Halleron,
Alright has been in use since the 19th century. It is the same contraction as altogether and already but, for some reason, it's still frowned upon. But, of course, horrible inconsistencies in the English language are the rule.
It always irks me that we quibble over words like this but our kids are still saying "ain't got no."

One of my all-time favorite Far Side cartoons. And yes, it made me think of that AND the Cake That Started It ALL (Hereafter only referred to as CTSIA).
Bravo! I didn't even know there was a club for alcholics at school!
- September 1, 2010 at 11:53 AM
these bakers ain't got no excuse for these cakes all right!

I think my "gifted" classroom (the room dedicated to the gifted classes, not that the room was gifted) had that cartoon hanging up. We also had a few Calvin and Hobbes. Memories...
- September 1, 2010 at 12:32 PM
The Midvale School for the Gifted - one of my many favorite Far Side cartoons!!! And Sharon of Sharon's Edible Art - YOU ROCK!!! Great revised lyrics for "We Are The Champions".
- September 1, 2010 at 12:37 PM
Sorry. My 2-cents as a *verbatim* transcriptionist
"All right, who's mess is this?" -- off my case! If it's "all right," then it ain't no mess.
"Alright, who's mess is this?" Like, yeah.
And, all together now, when I say I want royal blue, I don't mean baby blue. Because they're altogether as different as a chihuahua is to a bulldog.

OMG OMG OMG!!! I thought of that exact Far Side cartoon when I read the inscription on the gifted cake. That cartoon has been a running joke in my family since the early 1980's.
Big red A+++ for the day!

Best Far Side cartoon ever. And now, cake to go with it! Hooray!
- September 1, 2010 at 1:30 PM
Good thing we found that errant 'c'.
I love Far Side - and that's even one my husband understood. (I usually had to explain them to him)
We have found copies of the panel taped up in various public places.
The errors on the cakes, however, *ahem*. Are we sure they don't do this on purpose? It seems to happen all too often for it not to be planned.
Why are we dogging on alright/all right again? Just say "allllllrighty then"!

Our daughter goes to the local gifted school, and let me tell you, that Gary Larson cartoon is a FAVORITE among the parents.
I think I need to get drunck.
- September 1, 2010 at 2:48 PM
That "Acdemy of Richmond County" one really hits home.
My high school's yearbook for my senior year said, quote, "the acdemy of irving". Yeah. Mmhm.

OH WHAAA I'm a gifted student too. Learn to laugh at yourself! I think these are hilarious!
All together we will henceforth be spelling drunk D-R-U-N-C-K because it's altogether too good to pass up. Are we all ready for a good laugh, already? Everything will be alright when the words are spelled all right!
- September 1, 2010 at 3:53 PM
Yes! Far Side appearances! Also, anytime I see a spelling error I want red ink, icing, anything! I would've been a teacher but it requires more patience than I possess.

I have that Midvale School For the Gifted cartoon as my phone wallpaper - it's one of my favorites! And you're right, that cake would have fit right in there!!
I'd like to join the Drunk Club... or at least do some quality control... :)
- September 1, 2010 at 4:05 PM
Was hoping you were referring to that Far Side cartoon before I scrolled down to it! One of my favorites of all time. :-)
And, sorry, have to disagree with the argument that "alright" is the same contraction as "altogether" and "already." Altogether is not (at least not anymore) a contraction for all together, in that "all together" and "altogether" are different parts of speech that mean different things. For instance, if I wrote "We are altogether" you would think "altogether what?" -- whereas "we are all together" is a complete sentence in itself. Ditto already, e.g. "We have already finished our exams. We are all ready to graduate." So even if "alright" perhaps *should* be a word in the way that altogether and already are, by analogy, it would actually not mean "all right."
- September 1, 2010 at 4:15 PM
Great wrecks today! I do have to question the choice of Alanis' lyrics with this fabulous collection ... given that her song was about bad luck, and not irony.

Yay! I submitted our "Spelling Bea" cake and I'm so glad to see it up here, because it cracked me up!
No, it wasn't a pun or done on purpose... sadly, the kid in the bakery obviously wasn't a "bea" winner himself!

Quit whining about "alright". It is in both Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com dictionaries; therefore, it exists. Both sites have a "note" stating that the term is mostly informal but not incorrect. John is 100% correct.

I think the wreckerator on that last cake was so hopped up on icing (did anybody else notice how MUCH there was??) that s/he didn't notice that "bee" was spelled wrong.
(And I just love how people gotta go and ruin a perfectly hilarious post with grammar critiques...)

"Midvale School for the Gifted"... I have the t-shirt, the hat, and an apron... and the cartoon itself has been on my fridge ever since it showed up on my daily calendar.
Love your blog.

Hah, I knew I wouldn't be the only one to notice the alright thing!
It's fair enough to use it colloquially on a blog. Perhaps a bit ironic in a post that's critiquing grammar, but still fair enough.
I used to use it all the time until my editor beat it out of me. It shouldn't be in the formal prose of a book. Even so, a book based on a blog is probably allowed to be more colloquial than a novel. The humour frequently necessitates it.
Now I shall return to writing my characters, who say "all right" but also many other words you would not use on this blog. :D
WV magnity: the baker left the iron spoon in the batter so the cake came out all magnity.

I am a teacher of the gifted and I keep that cartoon on my board. Can't wait to show these cakes to my students.
- September 1, 2010 at 10:09 PM
Dear Alrighters,
The dictionaries of the world say that alright is a word.
The spell checks of the world say that alright is a word.
Many English teachers of the world agree that alright is acceptable.
Alright is used in books and periodicals which are edited by actual editors.
Even basic logic says that if already and altogether are words, there is absolutely no reason that alright should not be correct.
Yet the Grammar Nazis cling to this like it's the shining beacon of elegant, eloquent society.
It ain't worth it.
- September 1, 2010 at 11:01 PM
- Jennifer said...
Please--that cake was for Bea, who spelled 2010.
That Far Side cartoon has always been one of my favorites; thanks for giving me another reason to smile!
Regarding the "Teaher Appreciation"cake, don't you know that there's a large faction of people who believe that grading with red pens is detrimental to student's morale? There's been a campaign going on for a few years now to convince teachers--sorry, "teahers"--to grade with purple pens!
- September 1, 2010 at 11:07 PM
I'm not associated with Gary Larson in any way, but I have read something he's posted about how he doesn't want any of his work to be on the internet.
A note from Gary
Just wanted to let you know. :(
- September 1, 2010 at 11:20 PM
Thank you! I needed this! I was having a few *headdesk* moments tonight grading papers. It's nice to know that my students will have a career in cake decorating when I steer them out of nursing.
- September 1, 2010 at 11:36 PM
Last time I checked, the English language and its rules weren't set in stone. Look at the word "ain't". Roughly a century ago, it was a word that even polite society used in lieu of saying "am not". These days, it's looked on as an uneducated expression. Every so often I hear that "whom" will become an archaic expression and it will always be "whom". Not wanting to rant, just wanting to point out that only languages that don't want to survive never alter.

Anonymous @ 5:44; agreed -- but that was yesterday. Ditto Normie and Anonymous @ 11:50. Serenity Now! :-)
The irony of the 'Spelling Bea' cake is that I have seen an advertisement for 'Aunt Bee's Recipe Book' on a site dedicated to memorabilia from the 'Andy Griffith Show'.
I'm surprised Glendale didn't have a 'bigest looser', given how popular the lose / loose transposition is.
What, no 'to /too' mix-ups? That's to bad. Granted this post is about spelling, not grammar, but a missing (or less commonly, extra) 'o' also counts as a spelling error. That's just an observation, mind -- I'm not about to tell J&J how to run their blog.

The last one was the best....made my night!!
Keep them coming!!! :)
- September 2, 2010 at 12:31 AM
Let me get this straight...
they spelled "appreciation" correctly, but not "teacher"?

I have a feeling after seeing these many teachers will want to join that drunck club lol. Scary where they decide to put C's. I suspect whoever made the drunck cake was imbibing the entire time lol. That spelling bee cake was rather pretty, if not the spelling part. And I happened to love yesterday's post :).

So it strikes me that quite a few of the cake wrecks come from Kroger/Wal-mart/Megastore bakeries.
However, the cakes you feature on Sunday Sweets are always fancy, professionally made cakes by individuals or smaller baking companies.
Why not give a shout out to the megastore bakers that do a really great job churning out cakes with impressive, evenly-spaced, correctly-spelled frosting goodness? Just an idea, because I know quite a number of bakers at those places that are really good at what they do.

Spell check... say it with me " Spell Check!"
- September 2, 2010 at 4:21 PM
In the sense of "we are all together," the two sentences "We are all right" and "we are alright" do NOT mean the same thing. The first means "none of us is (or are) wrong," and the second means "we are in good condition."
As for the phonics hater, the sound of the letter "c" has rules, and in "worced," it has to be an "s."

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Churchill, Jefferson and the meaning of democracy: Panelists debate future of publishing
For a discussion titled "Amazon: Business as Usual?" panelists at the New York Public Library cited Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson and the Stamp Act of 1765. Questions were raised about the future of democracy, the manners of Silicon Valley and the consequences of religious war.
This is clearly no ordinary time in publishing.
"What's at stake is writing," best-selling novelist James Patterson said Tuesday night at a gathering before some 150 people, many from the publishing world. "It's our livelihood. It's the livelihood of our friends."
As Amazon and Hachette Book Group remain in a standoff over issues such as revenues from e-book sales, with the online retailer restricting access to books by Patterson, Malcolm Gladwell and other Hachette authors, literary agent Tina Bennett moderated an often passionate 90-minute exchange among Patterson and five other speakers. They included publisher Morgan Entrekin of Atlantic Monthly Press, the author and net neutrality advocate Tim Wu, political theorist Danielle Allen and attorney and founder of the music download service EMusic.com, Bob Kohn.
Sympathies, both onstage and in the audience, were strongly with the publisher and traditional publishing. Panelists worried about Amazon's growing power and that its determination to lower prices would put competitors out of business and force publishers to cut royalties, making it harder for authors to work on their books. Bennett said the negotiations between Hachette and Amazon "could change our business forever," and likened her situation to sitting in a hospital waiting room while a loved one was being operated on.
Amazon has provided few comments on the conflict with Hachette and, according to Bennett, declined an invitation to send an official to the library Tuesday. Standing in for the Seattle-based company was David Vandagriff, an intellectual property attorney who on his blog earlier in the day had wondered if he was the only panelist not subject to "Amazon Derangement Syndrome."
Entrekin and others spoke of publishers as indispensable patrons of literary culture, investing in books that sometimes take years to complete and taking on authors who aren't profitable, but have something important to say. "They could make more money just publishing the kind of junk I write," Patterson joked. Vandagriff advocated for authors (including his wife, G.G. Vandagriff) who broke from the industry and published through Amazon, saying they had more control and received much higher royalties. Patterson worried that Amazon was a danger to free expression, even invoking the image of burning books. Vandagriff praised Amazon as an innovator dedicated to its customers.
"What do the people who work at Amazon think of when they get up and in the morning?" said Vandagriff, who on his blog earlier in the day had wondered if he was the only panelist not subject to "Amazon Derangement Syndrome." ''They are entirely, completely focused on pleasing and delighting the millions of people who shop there."
A few groans were heard in the auditorium. Fellow speakers onstage responded.
"Are you talking about the warehouses, or the corporate headquarters?" said Patterson, referring to numerous reports that Amazon's warehouse employees endured harsh conditions.
"Jeff Bezos, when he goes to work every day, his job is a different job," Kohn said of Amazon's founder and CEO. "His job is to win a winner-take-all game."
Publishers fret even in the dullest moments, and Bennett asked each panelist to rank the current climate on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 business as usual and 5 a five-alarm emergency.
"3," said Patterson, who has been a leading critic of Amazon among writers and believes their "religious" passion will sustain them.
"4," said Allen, who agreed with Patterson that writers were a strong force against Amazon, but was skeptical that the general public would get involved.
"5," according to Kohn, who said that Amazon was "predatorily" pricing.
"1," said Vandagriff.
"3," Entrekin said, but he was talking about the present, when the industry is relatively stable. The future could well be a 5.

I had hoped to show you a pair of jeans that I made after taking a sewing class with Sherry, you know the Sherry. However, I made a few construction and fitting errors with them and they need work and I'm unmotivated. They sit waiting to be unpicked and refitted. And sit. And sit.
I haven't sewn for months and I have lost all interest in it. Burdastyle magazine came into the shop and I wandered down several weeks later to pick it up. No hurry, I thought.
All my creative energy at the moment is going elsewhere - cooking and planning for some big transitions.
So rather than let this blog limp along I thought I would bring it to completion : to borrow from the poet T S Eliot, "this is how the universe ends, not with a bang, but a whimper."
Or perhaps, just a final smirk.
All the best everyone, thanks for playing along xxx

So sorry to hear that your sewing mojo has deserted you. Spring in NZ is doing that to a lot of people, not sure why. Take care and enjoy the future!ReplyDeleteReplies
thanks Jo - hope to see my mojo again soon!Delete
NO! I HATE to see you go. I love your sense of humour and your warm, sassy take on life. For me, you don't have to chat sewing or even post pictures. Just ramble. I'll read it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow - that's SO sweet of you to say that- no one else says that about my ramblings.Delete
Oh, you were my first and favourite sewing blogger to read! Maybe later? All the best. If you decide to blog about your cooking, count me in to read it!ReplyDelete
Best wishes, LynleyReplies
What a compliment! Actually I am thinking of writing a "craft" blog so I can include recipes etc and may be next year I might start this bogging lark again.Delete
Yeah - what Karin said!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the fun and smiles you have provided and if ever you get your mojo back we will be waiting. It is understandable though - there is lots more to life than sewing and blogging and you have your family to look after. Best wishes. Janine.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Janine - that's a very sweet thing to say.Delete
I am very sorry to hear you have lost your enthusiasm for blogging and sewing, but thank you so much for taking the time to log in and saying bye. Like Karin, I would still look forward to the odd ramble a lot, since I love your writing style and really enjoyed your posts.ReplyDelete
In any case I wish you all the very best with your life and your family!
(sending a wistful little smirk right back at you)Replies
Thanks Carolyn - I got such a surprise reading your blogaversary post saying how many times you'd considered chucking it in - perhaps we all have these moments - but in my case, I can just feel it's the right thing to do.Delete
Aw Mary Nanna, I am sorry to hear that sewing has lost its appeal, and I have missed you here online. When you get the urge, I do hope that you will come back to blogging. And I hope that good things are in store for you.ReplyDeleteReplies
What a great wish! Touch wood we are over the worst with my son making amazing progress but it's been QUITE the journey.Delete
I, too, love your smirky style, but I agree that real life has to take precedence. All the best for you and your family!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Uta - sometimes I used to get a shock when I realised the Internet really wasn't a real world... but the less I did on it, the more the illusion of it being real faded.Delete

I am so sorry to see you go. I have enjoyed following your posts for the last 6-8 months. Thank you for sharing so much. Good luck with what you move to next. I hope it will make you happy.ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope it will make me happy too. We're planning a major renovation, so it will be painful, veyr painful, before it makes me happy!Delete
- AnonymousOctober 30, 2012 at 11:10 PM
Happy journey, its been great reading your blog and I think you do a beautiful job, Im sure its like that with your family too, good luck and thanks : )ReplyDelete
Wow - we have such similar names - couldn't help noticing that and my name has been spelt like yours many times!Delete
Thanks - I never thought of what I did being beautiful but I'm glad you saw some beauty in it.
Awww, I'll miss your posts and blog but you've got to do whats right for you right now. I hope you'll get back into sewing again but otherwise, Good Luck with everything else you do from now :)ReplyDeleteReplies
But looking on the bright side, I still get to read yours! I'm sure my sewing mojo will return ... it's just a matter or time and space.Delete
I, too, shall miss reading your posts. I always enjoyed your perspective. Best wishes to your and your family.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Lisa, appreciate the thought.Delete
Oh No... I am sorry to hear you won't be blogging anymore. I love your style and will miss you (have already). I hope life is kind to you and your family. You will be missed.ReplyDeleteReplies
Best of luck to you. I have enjoyed your blog.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kelly - I enjoyed writing it right up until the last couple of months when I had nothing to show for myself.Delete
Wishing you all the best through whatever transitions are being planned. Thanks for letting us know where you're at. I'll miss your blog although I totally understand that sometimes we just need to move on. Hugs. Take care of yourself.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Myrna - you always have a thoughtful take on things.Delete
Say it ain't so!! I think I told you before, that I would PAY to read your blog it's THAT good. So if you want to write about other things I would read it (like others have said). Anyway, I think you are pretty awesome and I hope I get to meet you someday!!ReplyDeleteReplies
What a huge complement to think you would spend hard earned cash on my musings! I would love to meet you too someday. Let's make it happen.Delete
Thank you for sharing your journey. Take care and all the very best to you and your family.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Norma - we are sure to meet again whereever there is bargain fabric to be had.Delete
I have enjoyed your blog and I will miss your wry humor. Take care and good luck to you and your family!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks KC - fortunately my wry humour is still with me (there were times where I had wondered where it had gone) and maybe it's even been a little sharpened by my experiences over the last couple of years.Delete
Oh I'm so sorry to see you go but life has it's twists and turns. Good luck with whatever you do!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks - doesn't life just have those twists and turns - and that's what makes it so interesting, sometimes interesting good, and sometimes interesting as in the Chinese curse, "may you live in interesting times"Delete
Gosh, I am really going to miss your posts but I can understand your reasons for ending it. All the best.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Marie - appreciate the wishes.Delete
I would love to try and persuade you otherwise as I have enjoyed reading along so much. You have inspired me to put down the quilts and get sewing for myself every once and a while. I loved the smirky details and asides. They bring light and humour to a sometimes very frustrating process.ReplyDelete
All the best for the cooking and transitions. I understand that real life just needs some more attention and focus at times.Replies
Thanks Amy - I still get to read your blog though so all is not lost. Must be time for you to do another book review and get some anxious author out to defend herself...Delete
I will miss your posts! I hope your mojo reappears, but all the best for the future either way.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Catherine - here's what you can do for me, keep sewing those great Burda outfits and get my mojo re-inspired.Delete
I enjoy your blog so much, I am selfishly sorry that you have no enthusiasm for it, or for sewing at the moment, but thank you for all the smirks in the past.ReplyDelete
I hope your transitions go smoothly, and that sometime in the future your creative energy might head this way again.Replies
Thanks Kbenco. I am loving what you are doing with your daughter's dress at the moment. I am sorry we won't get to dialogue about sewing anymore but I shall enjoy lazily checking in on you and your creative process.Delete
Oh I will miss your blog too, I've enjoyed reading all your posts so much. Like Karin and Carolyn and others have said, I'd love to read about anything you write. You have a wonderful style!ReplyDelete
I do understand though, having had "sebaticals" myself over the years, how everyday life becomes more of a priority.
Hoping your transitions go well, and all the best for the future.
Thank you!Replies
thanks Steph.. A Sabbatical - what a great idea! Yes I'm sure I'll start another blog some time but it won't be solely a sewing one - I'm finished with that genre, I think.Delete
Thanks for your blog; it is my favourite sewing blog. I love your style and I love your writing. Best wishes for everything!ReplyDeleteReplies
What a fantastic complement - of all the sewing blogs out there, to pick mine as a favourite - wow.Delete
Oh, Mary Nanna, I will miss you. I've always enjoyed visiting here. May good things come to you and yours.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Tammy - I was so amazed with what you did with a roll of denim - so right back at you.Delete
Oh, I will miss you so. But I wish you all the best. I hope you find creativity in whatever form it presents itself to you. Grab it by the horns. Much love and respect.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Elizabeth. You're pretty good at managing big transitions yourself - so I take this as advice from an expert.Delete
I have really enjoyed following your blog and am sad to hear it is finishing up. I hope all goes well for your future plans though and maybe you will consider returning later when your life settles down.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Sue - you keep up the good work at your end, you are making some fabulous things and I'll be sure to keep watching!Delete
I have loved your blog for a long time now. NO matter if you never blog again, please know that lots of people gained a great deal of joy from your blogposts.ReplyDelete
Best wishes for your non-blogging journeys.
That is so sweet! Thanks Sandra. I can't believe my little blog could inspire such a lovely complement.Delete
I really enjoyed reading about your creative journey. Thanks for all the giggles. All the best and best of luck with your new transitions.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Bernice - you are your sisters are such a talented bunch - I look forward to keeping up with your journeys in blogworld.Delete

Goodbye and good luck with your life transitions. I've never commented on your blog before. I should have done because I enjoy it immensely. Thank you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for making the effort to log in to tell me that - I am so honoured.Delete
Well I shall surely miss your blog too, but I am very lucky that I know you in real life so we can continue to smirk conspiratorially!ReplyDeleteReplies

Thanks Beth - I am very fond of T S Eliot, even if I don't understand half of what his poems mean - woops make that a quarter. Still there is something to be said for a firm finish to things.Delete
I've been enjoying your work and blog. So sorry to see you go. Best wishes and good luck with the life transitions.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Sigrid. You remain a source of inspiration to me.Delete
Hey! I get it. You're inspiring me to follow suit. :) Hope we can stay in touch via email, as I believe in online friendships eventually becoming real life ones, even if you live across the globe from me! Take care and catch ya later.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Antoinette - well who knows, maybe we'll meet one day. It's good to know when to stop, that's my motto.Delete
Hey, big decision! But I know you have many other fish to fry....take care and see you in the real world!ReplyDelete
hey thanks Nic! Looking forward to reading your blog when you get a chance... tried those bliss balls - yummy scrummy!ReplyDelete
Sorry for us that we won't get to enjoy your wit and beautiful sewing, Mary Nana, but happy that you are doing what feels right. You've been such an inspiration to me and my sewing pursuits that I just wanted to say a big thank you!! And if you do start a craft blog please let us all know xReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Jo - yes I may get on to that craft blog some time in the future, but in the meantime there's always yours to enjoy :)Delete
Yes I will miss your sewing chuckles, and I'm the one who may not get the sewing machine out until the last child leaves home. Looking forward to hearing about your new adventures wherever they lead.ReplyDeleteReplies

Best of luck for your new phase of life and new passions! I hope that you enjoy being the mother of a school aged child! (my daughter is starting school in January and is a similar age to your son I think, so a big step for us too). Thank you for sharing your sewing journey - I've loved reading along. Best of luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks a lot - yes our children are the same age - so it'll be a big shock to be at home with no-one demanding my attention all the time but I have a feeling it will be a good shock, once I get used to it!Delete
I so understand about life and its transitions getting in the way of blogging and sewing time. But that siad, I will miss your smiles and creations. Maybe in the future.....?ReplyDelete
Ah, you'll be missed. I love your smirky style. Best of luck on what comes next (there IS life after blogging!).ReplyDelete
Just wanted to stop by and say Aloha! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and things are going smoothly for you. I miss seeing your creations and your style of writing, but definitely understand how life flows from one bend to the next, each bend with its own scenery. Take care and pop back in if you ever feel the urge!ReplyDelete

Performance anxiety is the most popular psychological cause and it is about fears that young guys often get after failing to have a

male impotence, which for the men makes the matter worse.

Getting ex back after a breakup. Am Maria 21 from England,my boyfriend of a year just broke up with me and am 30 weeks pregnant.I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don't seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again.Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day's classes ,my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time.Generally he is a very nice guy ,he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along.He is right we've been arguing during the pregnancy a lot .After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change.I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with.I'm still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn't have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe.He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy,he is supportive with it but it's not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy.i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.This is his E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com or Add him up on Whats-app: +2348071622464,you can also visit his website:http://unityspelltemple.yolasite.com .ReplyDelete

Taxes on Northerner in general:
Northerner is required by law to charge applicable tobacco/nicotine tax and sales tax for online orders. Where these taxes apply, the order total during your checkout will be updated and reflect/include taxes. Shipping charges are in general also subject to sales tax in most states.
How is the tobacco/nicotine tax calculated?
State Excise Tax (SET), also referred to as "tobacco/nicotine tax", is applied in accordance with applicable state and local laws. For tobacco products, all states apply SET, however for Tobacco-Free products most states do not apply any SET.
The way SET is calculated depends on the product category (Tobacco or Tobacco-Free) and the state, and are calculated in one of the following ways:
- based on a % of the wholesale price (cost) to Northerner
- based on Northerner selling price to the customer
- based on weight (per selling unit)
How is the sales tax calculated?
Northerner calculates the sales tax in accordance with applicable state and local laws. Current rates can be found here: State Sales Tax Rates - Sales Tax Institute
Example: Customer shipping address is in California:
SET rate California = 56,93%
Sales tax rate California = 7.25%
Wholesale Cost per can = $3.00
Selling price to customer = $3.99;
SET per can = $3.00 * 0,5693 = $1.71;
Sales tax per can = ($3.99 + $1.71) * 0.0725 = $0.41
Selling price to customer + SET + Sales Tax = Final price to Customer (per can):
$3.99 + $1.71 + $0.41 = $6.11

Joan of FOODalogue is starting the year off with another armchair travel adventure with her Culinary Tour 2010 - South of the Border . I really enjoyed travelling with Joan last year and you will too!!!! This year she will feature the cuisines of 10 of our south-of-the-border neighbors beginning in Mexico and moving from there to El Salvador, Nicaragua, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba and Puerto Rico. Each one of these destinations challenges you to create a dish outside of your comfort zone and experience new taste and food sensations. You can also do a little armchair travelling and daydreaming through your tastebuds. Check out her blog on January 11th for the round-up!!
We begin our armchair journey in: Mexico
If you are just beginning your foray into Mexican Cuisine, it is important to remember that Mexican food is always evolving. The first staples were corn and beans, and new ingredients and spices have slowly been introduced over the last 600 years to make "Mexican Food" what it is today."Mexican cuisine is known for its intense and varied flavours, colourful decoration, and the variety of spices. Mexican gastronomy, in terms of diversity of appealing tastes and textures, is one of the richest in the world, rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals."
I still believe that the best way to travel is to immerse yourself in the culture and what better way to start than to stay with the locals and have a weeklong culinary vacation. Cooking holidays are often thought of as being in Italy or France but Mexican cuisine is every bit as interesting. I have travelled to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and explored countless Mayan ruins such as Coba, Tulum and Chitzen Itza. This time around I want to explore the area of Oaxaca on the west coast. South of Mexico City, Oaxaca is a state that celebrates its indigenous cultures. This is one of the best places to find Mexican folk art and ceramics. Oaxaca is also known as "the land of the seven moles". They come in all colors here from spring green to jet black.
I decided to spend a week virtually at Casada Sagrada. Casa Sagrada is located 16 miles outside the city of Oaxaca above the rural craft village of Teotitlan del Valle. Perched on a hill top overlooking the town, it is serene and vibrant at the same time; you can relax in a hammock on the wide bouganvilla-lined verandas after a fabulous meal or discover one of the world's most diverse ecosystems by taking backcountry hikes, biking tours, cooking classes or guided horseback rides with Mary Jane (or do all four!) and, of course, shop for the incredible rugs that have made Teotitlan famous.
For a really in-depth exploration of Oaxacan cuisine, I virtually joined Reina and her staff at Casa Sagrada for a week-long culinary immersion program. Their love for their heritage and extensive knowledge of the area surrounding Oaxaca will bring a unique aspect to your Oaxacan experience. You'll get the chance to sample real Hispanic culture and cooking which has similarities to Spanish cuisine due to the Hispanic influence. You will have access to many of the ingredients that you have only read about, make instant friendships and have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a unique vacation. I learned hands-on in Casa Sagrada's spacious teaching kitchens, and visited village homes for demonstrations ranging from Chorizo sausage-making to baking meats in the underground barbacoa technique, to making mezcal. You will tour regional food markets and explore unspoiled mountain hamlets.
In nearby Cuajimaloyas, our new friend Don Guadalupe invited us virtually into his traditional two-story adobe home to see his old-fashioned kitchen and medicinal herb garden. We also visited new village friends and cooks in their quaint mountain homes and dined on their unique high country specialties. The climate is completely different from the valley floor and we prepared savoury dishes featuring fresh-from-the-stream trout, wild watercress and heirloom potatoes.
To start Joan's culinary journey off right I started with a Lime Margarita which offers a perfect balance with this spicy tinga dish. The Homesick Texan says, "Tinga is a lively, tangy stew made up of pork, chorizo, tomatoes and chipotles.It is a perfect party dish because it can feed many and be made a day or so ahead of time. Traditionally it's served on crisp tostadas but it can also be wrapped in warm tortillas, piled on tortilla chips, or even eaten with a spoon out of a bowl. Some may make it with chicken or veal, but my favorite style is tinga de puerco. The tender, toothsome strings of pork coupled with the piquant and vinegary chorizo, bright tomatoes and smoky chipotles makes for a complex, hearty dish. And when you add some cotija (that crumbly Mexican white cheese), cilantro, avocado and a squirt of lime, you've not only created a delectable dish, but you've also paid homage to the colours of the Mexican flag."
This particular recipe comes from renowned award-winning chef-restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality Rick Bayless who is a frequent visitor to the Oaxaca region and my inspiration for wanting to travel to this ranch. Rick has done more than any other culinary star to introduce us to authentic Mexican cuisine and to change the image of Mexican food outside of Mexico. At home I have tried tostadas ("toasted") wannabe-incarnations of seasoned ground beef or refried beans spread on a flat, fried corn tortilla, then covered with diced tomato, shredded lettuce, cheese, and salsa. When in Mexico I want to become a locovore and try local ingredients and authentic preparations. The tostadas below are perfect on a hot summer day or for sharing an evening with friends.
I hauled my crock pot out from the deep recesses of my cupboards and set to work. Using this method has many advantages since the dish practically prepares itself while you are enjoying your company all day long. It also eliminates heating up the kitchen. If I were in Mexico right now this would be a bonus!!!!You will make this recipe over and over again winter or summer! The only change I made was to add some shredded lettuce for colour and for a nice fresh taste to reduce the heat slightly. You could also top your tostadas with some sour cream thinned with milk if you like.
Another tip I read somewhere is to spray your tortillas with cooking spray instead of frying them directly in oil. You can find olive oil cooking spray these days in your local market so save some calories and fat from your diet. This method turns out deliciously crisp tostadas!!! This was amazing!!!!I want to get out of my armchair and head on a plane to Oaxaca right NOW!!!!!!
Rick says, "Of all the personalities you find in the street-side snacks of Mexico, tostadas can be the raciest. They have a way of tingling the tongue, tangling the nostrils, even racing the pulse. I've most often found myself nibbling a tostada as I've ambled away from the jangling, glaring street stalls that stand cheek-by-jowl, each piled high with towers of wavy, not-quite-flat tortilla disks. These humble little spots entice shamelessly. They etch their presence in the impatient, pungent exhaust of traffic with their dangling, naked bulbs, and the biting, vinegary chili perfume they exude. You have to be pretty uptight not to succumb, knowing that any topping will take you on a ride with surprise twists and sharp-edged turns."
I hope you have enjoyed my culinary foray into Mexican cuisine...next stop on this whirlwind tour......El Salvador!!!
1 oz tequila
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1 oz lime juice, fresh squeezed
1/2 teaspoon sugar
kosher salt (optional)
lime wedge (optional)
crushed ice or ice cubes
If you're going to salt the glass, take your lime wedge or a bit of triple sec and rub around edge of glass. Turn upside down and press rim into salt.
For the drink- Shake the tequila, triple sec, lime juice and sugar in a shaker (or stir vigorously with a spoon) and pour over ice. Or you can blend it in a blender if you prefer it. Garnish with lime wedge and enjoy!
1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1 pound lean, boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
4 ounces chorizo sausage, removed from its casing
4 to 5 medium (about 3/4 pound total) red-skinned potatoes, quartered
1 large white onion, sliced 1/4–inch thick
1 garlic clove, minced
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, in juice (preferably fire-roasted)
2 to 3 canned chipotle chiles, en adobo, finely chopped
4 teaspoons chipotle canning sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
About 1/2 cup crumbled Mexican queso fresco or other fresh cheese like salted pressed farmers cheese
1 ripe avocado, pitted, flesh scooped from the skin and diced
Warm corn tortillas
Heat the oil in a stovetop-rated slow cooker liner over medium-high heat. (If your slow cooker liner isn't made from a material that can be used on a stovetop, use a very large (12-inch) non-stick skillet.) Once the oil is very hot, add the pork and chorizo in a single layer and cook, stirring until the meat has browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and if you're using a skillet, transfer the meat and its juices into the slow cooker. Add the potatoes.
In a large bowl, combine the onions, garlic, tomatoes, chipotles, adobo sauce, Worcestershire, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour mixture into the slow cooker and stir to mix thoroughly. Cook for 6 hours at the highest temperature.

WALLACE: Senator Graham, how important is it for Secretary of State Clinton to testify under oath before she leaves office about the Benghazi terror attack?...With all that assurance that Hillary Clinton would testify, later that day, we heard the news that Hillary Clinton had entered the hospital with a blood clot. We weren't told the site of said blood clot. Was it her brain (recently concussed)? Was it her leg (where she had a blood clot back in 1998)? The former is a big deal, the latter, not so much. Why not specify the site, since it make such a big difference, medically? Oh, but we're told we must not display any skepticism, any hint of suspicion that the SOS is trying to avoid having to testify about Benghazi. The woman is ill. Only a clod would say a clot was a plot.
GRAHAM: Absolutely essential that she'd testify....
WALLACE: Some of your Republican colleagues say they are prepared to hold off the confirmation of John Kerry as secretary of state, until Secretary Clinton testifies as secretary, before she leaves office.
GRAHAM: That's going to happen. I've been told by Senator Kerry he wants that approach also. He needs to hear what she says so he can make comments about, I agree with her/I don't agree with her. It makes sense to have her go first.
WALLACE: Do you agree with that, Senator Feinstein, that she needs to testify first, as an -- and have you been assured she will testify, though it has been 3 1/2 months since Benghazi and she still has never really answered questions, about Benghazi, her role before, during, after the attack? Do you have reason to believe she'll testify as secretary?
FEINSTEIN: She has said she will and I believe she will. You know, she's had a very real accident and she's recovering from it, and, she will be back. I gather, her first day, of work may well be next week. So, I think that's good news.
Here's medical expert Kent Sepkowitz:
Unlike the relatively bland "concussion after fainting" pronouncement from earlier this month, this terse press release from her spokesman smells a little fishy. First it is odd that we are not told where the clot is—usually the clot, referred to as thrombophlebitis, occurs in the leg, a condition suffered by former president Richard Nixon after leaving the White House.Maybe you can remember — if not, guess! — how sensitive we were to Nixon's phlebitis, which conveniently flared up in the midst of Watergate. Ha! That bastard thinks he can get our sympathy. Pathetic! (That's what I said at the time.)
The clot [in the leg] can be uncomfortable but is only dangerous and even life threatening if it breaks free and travels downstream into the lung—a pulmonary embolus, in medical parlance.... Given that Clinton already has had this condition and those who have had one episode have a predilection to recurrence, the lack of a reminder of the 1998 clot from her press people seems a strange oversight.The suppression of information — the site of the clot — suggests 2 radically different theories: 1. fakery/exaggeration to evade testimony, or 2. something horribly serious. I read Sepkowitz to exclude the middle ground.
Another problem with the "concussion then clot" story is this—the concussion, if indeed it came after a faint, should not directly predispose Clinton to a clot....
Alternatively, is it possible that the clot in question is one in the lining of the brain that can form after head trauma.... But anticoagulation is never given to persons with clots around the brain. They are either watched without intervention or surgically evacuated. So this possible explanation is out.
We are left with a story that is not easy to connect up with sparse information from the inside crowd, who could easily deflate speculation with two or three more measly facts. The National Enquirer has already declared Clinton to be suffering from a brain tumor, linking her observed weight gain, possibly from treatment for the putative cancer, and not-exactly-explained need to leave Obama's Cabinet to the grim diagnosis. Such a story no longer seems to me as implausible as it did after the faint and concussion reports.
UPDATE: Email from CNN says: "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a blood clot between her brain and skull behind her right ear, her doctors said." This seems to be the option that Sepkowitz excluded because "anticoagulation is never given to persons with clots around the brain." If that's correct, then something is still, to use Sepkowitz's word, fishy.
UPDATE 2: Here's the Washington Post, on January 1st, noting the site of the clot and saying "The conventional treatment is an anticoagulant drug for at least six months." So that directly contradictions Sepkowitz's statement that "anticoagulation is never given to persons with clots around the brain."
AND: I've got a bit more to say here.
