Need help:

how do you cook beets? I mean, other than roasting (which I will end up doing, even though the beets are now peeled) or boiling.

I think I'm going to make Grace all red food tomorrow -- beets, cranberry juice, strawberries and strawberry kefir (I'll also through some rice in so not ALL red). Then if she pukes it up I'll regret it. But it will be a nice break from the brown.

My default demin skirt of a more than appropriate length is Old Navy.

Although heat waves are dictating maxi dresses of lightest weight cloth these days. It'd be way shorter skirts but I apparently cannot bare leg and cleavage in the same outfit and boobs is cooler. Temperaturely speaking.

Roast, boil, bake or steam for beets. What a festive meal that Grace will have.

I fed a baby more raspberries today than I would have if I'd been responsible for potential puke. But, man, she nommed them. And growled for more.

I have to agree. Raspberries are amazing.

Cassie, are you teaching babies to growl again ?

She's a natural!

I swear it was organic growling.

Brought on by organic raspberries. And noms.

If I were interfering, I'd teach them to vroom. This just ...happened.

I've fallen down the ModCloth rabbit hole.

ita, I just got this denim skirt: [link]

I'm 5'3" and it hits me a little below the knee. It's got a very nice flare to it.

Happy birthday, sarameg!!!

I somehow feel vindicated that ita's job doesn't think sleeveless is work-appropriate. And Lord & Taylor is generally my source for dresses with sleeves. They have lots!

Thanks for the link, Sail. I ended up going with the straight knee length skirt. Damn, I'm gonna miss the short ones and the boots alternate Fridays.

I don't particularly think of sleeveless as a work issue, but that might be Jamaica talking. They did also bust leggings, which unsuprises me totally, and capris, which surprises me a bit, although I'd never wear them.

Athletic shoes are also off the list. And they called out flip flops. I wonder who they were busting there...apart from the guy a cube over with the Jayne hat.

Happy birthday, sara!

OK- I need debunking help. My cowworker thinks that Newsweek published an article stating that Obama is Muslim and leaves the White House every Friday for prayer services, and this is why he won't help Isreal. Googling Obama muslim mostly gets me debunking things, but from several years ago. WTF is she talking about. I actually came out and said "He is Christian, I think you are being brainwashed" and she was adament that it was all over the news and common knowledge.

WTF is she talking about?
