I find that more and more the purposes formerly served by this blog are being fulfilled by other services.

Hazara, Northern Indian foodOriginally uploaded by AraiGordai. I want to delve into Indian cooking and I have to admit that I'm a little overwhelmed. Can any of you reccommend a good Indian cookbook? Ideally it would be a book that did more than offered recipes to follow; I'd also like to have some sort of understanding of the cuisine.

I just shared this story with a friend and now I'm sharing it with you.Not too long I came across an old copy of Disintegration by The Cure and it made me remember being 14 in Albuquerque and my Mormon skate punk boyfriend who lived on the other side of town, 45 minutes away (I was by the mesa and he was by the mountains). He would write the lyrics to Cure songs and send them to me in the mail. I

I thought this would get easier but it hasn't, it just gets different. I wish you were here every day to guide us. I miss your laugh and your smile, you sarcasm and your sweetness, your infinite patience and generosity. I dream about you when I can sleep and I think of you all day. I wish you were home right now so you could tell me that you want to cook this Thursday but you want to cook ham,

I drove down to Boston on Friday to meet Siòbhan at Darkwave on Saturday and add some shading and color to my tattoo. Remember the first trip?I didn't think it was possible but I love it even more than I did before! I was there for about 5 hours with about 3 hours of actual tattooing. The drive home is always a little hard just because I want to be home quickly but it wasn't too bad. I think

There are more pictures here.Thank you, Minty! Today I popped down to the post to find a package from Minty of pepperknit.com. Inside I found a Falling Leaves sock knit with Claudia Handpainted in dark green that fits like a dream. Seriously, I've been walking around the house wearing one sock for about 2 hours.I also found pattern notes which I greatly appreciate because I know the pattern

Know what makes me feel better when I'm down? Hand knit socks! After returning from Toronto, I found these awesome socks (and other goodies) waiting for me. My Sock It To Me pal, Ann (blog Ravelry), knit me these beautiful socks that fit perfectly. The pattern is from More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch and the yarn is Claudia Hand Painted in the colorway Eat Your Veggies.Ann

This isn't me, it's my sister. My dad and I both loved to be behind the camera. Unfortunately this means that i don't have any pictures of the the two of us together.Navigating this new world, the one without my dad, is hard. I find myself wanting to call him and ask him some trivial question or something like that. I may even dial the number but then I remember that he's not there.My family

My dad died in his sleep last night. He was working in Toronto, shooting two projects at once. The cleaning lady found him this morning. I'm going to NY with my daughter to be with my sister, brother and grandmother. I'm totally overwhelmed. I don't know what to do or how to feel or how to tell Elah or what to say to my family or what needs to be done to transport a body across the border or

First a knitting update. Drunken Bees have been frogged back to the ribbing; a small set back but I'm still feeling good about them. CPH only needs the sleeves and buttons sewn on! If I can get enough homework done then I'll try to finish it tonight.Now on to Boston.I drove down on Friday and enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Mrs. & Mr. Hello Yarn (and Shambles).
