My Grandma’s Kitchen: December 2009

http://my-grandmas-kitchen.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

My Grandma’s Kitchen. The recipe we’re using comes from my husband’s mother, as published in a family reunion cookbook, “A Measure of Memory.”. Springerle cookies are kind of unusual:. They’re flavored with anise (makes them have a vague licorice taste). They’re molded cookies (they have a design impressed on them). They’re supposed to “mellow” for two weeks before eating. 4 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 189; teaspeen salt. 1 tablespoons freshly grated lemon peel. To sprinkle on pans.

The Latter-day Snark: August 2012

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 11, 2012. Adventures in home teaching, part 2. Another home teaching story, from the same ward as the last one:. So we’d gone a few months without home teachers, but that didn’t really stress us out, so we didn’t think about it much. We were about to start to think about it a bit more. As we were about to leave the chapel, a man who we’d seen before but hadn’t ever properly met stopped us and asked, “Are you the B—s? Now, looking back on things, we realized that we should have asked him ...

The Latter-day Snark: June 2012

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 25, 2012. I wish to submit that whoever it was that came up with the idea that female people should always dress in one-piece swimsuits* was never involved in toilet-training a girl. It has long amused me that every time requirements for church activities involving swimming say that all of the girls and women must wear one-piece swimsuits, any of them could, technically, fulfill said requirement by wearing a monokini.

The Latter-day Snark: February 2013

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 28, 2013. So the (Roman Catholic) pope has now resigned, which got me to wondering: Can a Mormon prophet resign? I mean, we already have a precedent or two that a Mormon prophet doesn’t get removed from office when disabled (even in such a way that he’s mentally disabled to some extent), but could one simply announce that he’s not the prophet anymore? Links to this post. Sunday, February 17, 2013. Would the Mormon church necessarily have that reaction, though? Links to this post. As yo...

My Grandma’s Kitchen: Springerle

The Latter-day Snark: March 2013

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 31, 2013. So we have an April general conference coming up soon, and i for one am quite looking forward to the statistical report, to see what the full-time missionary numbers look like after the ages to qualify for a full-time mission were lowered in the past October general conference. But that’s not what i really came to talk about today. For Brigham Young University, read winter semester. I’ve written what i’ve written to reflect normal school calendars, not theirs.

The Latter-day Snark: April 2015

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 5, 2015. Sorta-liveblogging general conference: Sunday afternoon session. Not only are we now in the Saturday afternoon session, but Jeffrey R. Holland and Dieter F. Uchtdorf have already spoken—i’m guessing the viewership numbers are pretty steeply down. But, of course, that’s just me being cynical, so whatever. Of this post, the next speaker is above. And since i’m the one writing this…. What was with all the lists? Mormon marriage rates are still high—so why the apparent freak-out? Rober...

The Latter-day Snark: July 2012

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Please stay tuned…. 8230;we are experiencing technical difficulties. Basically, moving to a new place, a failed logic board, and the local internet service taking a few unexpected extra days to get set up have created a break in posting. I should be back into it properly in a couple or three days, but until then, thanks for your patience. Links to this post. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. What do you want from life? Those cookies were really good. Yeah, she bakes really well. True st...

The Latter-day Snark: October 2012

http://latterdaysnark.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. So the church doesn’t have a ban on cross-gender costumes (i.e., male people dressing up as females, female people dressing up as males), but every ward i’ve been in during my adult life* has sent out the word that such costumes wouldn’t be allowed at church events. Is this one of those weird cases where there isn’t a de jure. Rule on what’s allowable in the church, but there is. At least in most cases) a de facto. What is everyone else’s experience? Links to this post. Of tr...
