Blogs I Follow
Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

last night before Project Runway we were watching some show that was documenting the The American Pie Council's Crisco National Pie Championships--it was pure torture. all the pies looked amazing, and i guess if you win that thing, it could mean thousands and thousands of dollars worth of pie sales.
anyways, after my parents got divorced, my dad was always trying to get me to go over to my grandma's (mom's mom) house and get her to teach me how to make pies, so i could come back and teach him. some sort of covert pie-spying action. he said, "i don't miss your mother, but i do miss the cooking."
good thing i'm marrying a baker.
Austin, making a pie takes skill but compared to, say, learning to type, it's not a really complicated skill. You're fiance will have you whipping out pies in no time.
But I admit to cheating on the crust of this one. It's store bought puff pastry. Pie crust I make from scratch, but puff pastry is SUCH a pain...
