Barbra Peapod: Things I Can't Get Into No Matter How Hard I Try
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2010/10/things-i-cant-get-into-no-matter-how.html
Monday, October 25, 2010. Things I Can't Get Into No Matter How Hard I Try. 1) Films - I like movies, not films. Now I'm not saying I've never liked a foreign language film or something that won an Oscar, but for the most part you won't see me at the Ritz. Ritz Carlton maybe, but the Ritz 5 in Philly? Stuff I thought sucked horribly: Michael Clayton, There Will be Blood (or should I say, Snoring? The English Patient, Rachel Getting Married, Glengarry Glen Ross. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. 6) Easter - I just don't like...

Barbra Peapod: February 2009

Friday, February 27, 2009. Using a Bazooka to Kill a Mosquito. Were you ever around someone who uses a particular word constantly, and once you take notice it just annoys the hell out of you? Well, I've noticed a few buzzwords and phrases in the working world that I want to run over with my car. They've sprained my ears, blurred my vision and caused silent rage. Here are my top 5 offenders:. And speaking of "offline" . let's not speak of it. Anymore. Do you have a copy of the document? And here's a bonus...

Barbra Peapod: January 2010
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 28, 2010. Time to do some mattress shopping. I keep hearing good things about "memory foam", but just the name of it has me a little perplexed. What confuses me is the term "memory." If I leave a big ass dent in the bed, why would I want my mattress to remember that? Seems like "amnesia foam" would be better, so every time you get in bed it's just like new. I know all the words and even singalong to the fiddle competition parts? I'm not an NPR kind of gal, so I never listened to him the...

Barbra Peapod: No Wiggle
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2010/03/no-wiggle.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. What is it that has brought me out of a 2-month blogging hiatus? Not insomnia and not a burst of creativity, but it was the purchase of a new toilet seat. So as I was cleaning the bathroom with that toilet duck stuff, I squirted it all over the place by accident and it ate the enamel off my toilet seat. It was left looking really weird and dirty, so of course, I headed to Lowe's for a replacement seat. Seemed like a smart purchase, but come to find out it has a flaw. Now, he is c...

Barbra Peapod: In the Kitchen With Me
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2010/01/in-kitchen-with-me_24.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. In the Kitchen With Me. Unfortunately, I never measure anything so these amounts are approximate - proceed with caution if you're a measurement freak. 1 package ( 1 lb) ground chicken. 1/4 c bleu cheese crumbles. 1/4 small onion, finely minced. 1/2 rib celery, minced (I made fine slices with the mandoline, then ran the knife through to make it even smaller . looking for flavor without the texture). Pinch of kosher salt. Fresh cracker pepper, a generous dousing. The New Old Me.

Barbra Peapod: October 2009
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 2, 2009. OK, here's a new one. Was having a few happy hour cocktails with some friends this evening when I innocently asked "so what are you guys up to this weekend? Oh, tomorrow we're going to Cow Chip Bingo.". I thought they said "Couch Bingo," . so naturally I replied "now that's my kind of sport! As the conversation unfolded, I learned it is indeed - neither a couch nor a traditional bingo. Discuss! The way it goes is this:. A playground in the midst of it all is also blocked off.

Saturday, January 31, 2009. Yesterday I received a Lobstergram in the mail (as you may know from my previous post). It was a Lobster dinner/feast for two that my sister gave me for Christmas . and it was fantastic. Part of the dinner was a choice between clams, shrimp or mussels. I chose the clams. They arrived looking like this:. I steamed them in butter, garlic, parsley and white wine. Two dozen of them . expecting them to turn out like this . Ever hear of a geoduck? Friday, January 30, 2009. Camera - ...

Barbra Peapod: December 2010
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 18, 2010. I'm dreaming of a new . Not that a career in health insurance isn't glamorous and wildly exciting, but here are my dream jobs (not necessarily in order):. 1) Doowop girl (think "Dreamgirls") - this requires sequined costumes, big hair teased up with a can of aqua net, singing and dancing. It's always been at the top of my list. Must be located in Vegas to achieve full effect. From "The Great Food Truck Race" on The Food Network a few months ago). 6) Own a beach bar and grill ...

Barbra Peapod: September 2009
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. Good Lisa vs. Bad Lisa. On May 6, I started on a big exercise kick. Joined the gym, went every day, got a trainer, watched diet - the whole nine yards. I was very diligent until about mid-summer when I took a trip to Vegas. After that, I went away for business, then pleasure, then more pleasure, then a birthday, a holiday and so on. Self control? Not my strong suit. All of this amounted to about a 3 week hiatus from my regimen. Probably, but hey . whatever works. Read some of ...

Barbra Peapod: March 2009
http://babspeapod.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2009. Clear the decks and make a little space . here comes the soapbox, so be forewarned. I think this is actually all rant and no rave, so maybe the title is inappropriate. Anyway, I've got a bitter taste in my mouth, and it's not because I've been eating eggplant that didn't properly soak prior to cooking,. So, what's eating Barbra Peapod? The truth is, most people can't handle being held accountable. The hot seat is uncomfortable. It's much easier to claim to be a picked-on...I'll ...
