Hilarious

Date cake and a visit home

I had a really nice visit home this weekend, seeing my family and spending time in various wooded areas. Their town is still reeling from the freak snow storm last week, and just got power back as I was leaving. Inspired many grateful moments - for my family, talks by the fire, yummy food and wine, sleeping dogs, and beautiful electricity. Then I came home and made this date cake. It's similar to the bean brownies - flowerless, healthy, and delicious. These are my favorite types of desserts, and my favorites types of weekends.

Lynda Barry

Outside comic circles I think Lynda Barry is relatively unknown, which is a pretty big tragedy. As a side note, I am no longer in "comic circles" and only was slightly for a brief period where I learned about this whole world of indie comics that are beautiful and smart and funny. And so, Lynda Barry, is hilarious. I gave this book to my mom, and another to my sister, and for years I had a little photocopied strip from the book pinned to my bulletin board. She dated Ira Glass like a hundred years ago and makes fun of him in this book for being a basic egomaniac. So if you're looking for a beautiful, smart and funny read, pick this little guy up.

Mindy Kaling love

I just bought her new book and can't wait to read it, she's so hilarious.

And look at this pic of her as a child, "People think I'm exaggerating when I say that I was a happy child who you could not tell was male or female", amazing.
