The year is winding down, ever so slowly. But like any determined foe, it's not going down without a fight. I thought I'd put the TKO on this year and the miseries it's brought. But no, it's hanging on for dear life. So, join me in drinking myself into oblivion so that I am drunk/passed out through the rest of this gawd-awful year. Like the song says "I'm gonna make it through this year if it kills me."
Clearly, I'm not the only person with the year-end strategy of drunkenness-as-survival-mechanism. See this video for an insight into how Seattle-ites 'celebrate the holidays' (yeah right, they're trying to best 2010 just like me)
I love this video, and am glad to find a news source that will help me cope...with humor.
And so, kiddies, while 2010 isn't technically over for another 9 days, I can still drink myself into a coma turn that frown upside for a week and a half. Meanwhile, I've got to get through Christmas with my family. Oh lord, here it comes.
So raise your glass and tip it back. Here's to 2010, may you rot.
I've loved Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" since I discovered it a couple of years ago. And now, thanks to the Seattle Public Library I've got this veritable encyclopedia of vegetarian cooking in my grips....until September 30th. Great.
A Google search of "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" yielded not the copious accolades I was expecting alongside links to booksellers offering to sell me this gem for a screamin' deal. Rather, I found loads of *gasp* detractors! "Foodies", or so they call themselves, stating that they weren't "inspired" by the recipes in VCFE (this short-hand is thanks to these commenters, who I can only imagine are pulling from loads of experience crafting Kraft Mac n' Cheese). Many commenters claim that Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything - Vegetarian" is a better cookbook. I'll wait for you to catch your breath. Ready? Ok. Whatever, I'm going to buy it from Amazon from a used bookseller in Spokane, so you self-righteous jack-asses can suck it.
