Funny Ladies

Highly recommended, the tribute show "Getting in on the Ground Floor and Staying There" featuring the comedic talents of Beth Lisick and Tara Jepsen as Carole and Mitzi. I was little worried that it was being held at the Center for Sex & Culture, but all nudity fell under the category of extreme silliness. Not only were the stories hysterical, but at one point they both came out dressed in the outfits their mothers had given them. Genius, right?

I am thrilled to add Beth & Tara to my short list of favorite girl-comedy duos -- think "French & Saunders" or Laura Kightlinger and Nicholle Tom from "The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman" -- perhaps the "Heads Gone Astray" radio program? Does the tradition go back to Lucy & Ethel? Mary & Rhoda?

Please discuss, and include your own favorites of silly lady buddies out there.

Succotash

Because there was a lot of okra at the farmer's market and we were tasked with bringing a vegetarian offering to the birthday party of Dr. Virus, we picked SUCCOTASH. (with bacon on the side). Note that when we got to the party, we forgot to get the bacon out of its tupperware travel container, but miraculously, the bacon eaters sensed it was there and snarfed it down. Amazing bacon radar.

My Mixologist

...makes me proud as Swedish punsch.

Bernal Heights made, and shipped to New Orleans.

Cafe Au Lait

Ordered frozen (it comes with a big straw), and plop me right in the French Quarter near the guy playing trombone and singing like Louis Armstrong.

It's a Librarian Birthday

The Librarian bonds with tiny fuzzy creatures, just because she's like that. Happy Birthday and huzzahs all the way to St. Paul, MN -- loud enough that she can hear the out-of-tune singing!

Half Moon Bay

Cowell Beach View

"Haul Out Area"?

Happy to wait for the haul out.

Sea anemones have an adhesive foot.

We are so totally coming back here, one of our new favorite places.

Heavenly Deviled
