The Mic Is On: Do you Remember the Time When. . .? What’s Your Favorite Family Story?

December 26, 2006 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

open mike night

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

What’s your favorite family story? You have several, don’t you? They are each as different as a snowflake.

We might also talk about

  • what happened this holiday season that will become a repeated story
  • our most embarrassing story
  • stories that make us roll on the floor laughing
  • how our memories differ from those of our family members

AND THE EVER POPULAR,
Basil the code-writing donkey, and Milton the Skinny Moose.

Links Leaked on the Favorite Foods

December 20, 2006 by Liz

. . . And There’s Recipes to Share

Yep. Tuesday Open Comments Night was a regular potluck this week. Plenty of food, recipes and stories to share . . . we talked about buffets, feasts, cooking, baking, recipes, cookbooks, Asian food, Indian food, Mexican food, fruit, veggies, fish, chicken, beef, eating in, eating out, chocolate, comfort food, ice cream, Klondike bars, champagne, cookies and cocoa, yogurt, licorice, smoothies, cakes, donuts, coffee, cheeseburgers, pizza, sushi, eggnog, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese with extras, running out of food in Seattle-land, okra and rice, cheeseballs with crackers, hash browns, etc. I even heard some mention of spam.

The Link Leak Virus was with us as well. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes and keeps Open Comment Night a link free-for-all.

Here’s some of the links we shared.

  • curried butternut-squash soup.
  • secret favorite cookbook
  • holiday card
  • photos of the storm damage in Seattle-land and a recipe for Apricot-Glazed Chicken with Dried Plums and Sage
  • chicken salad in whole-wheat bread bowl
  • website URL
