the a-word's been cropping up a lot lately...

I thought I'd examine some of the ways that abortion's been cropping up on the fictional television shows that I've been watching. My tastes do lean left, and this is reflected in the shows I choose to watch, but not necessarily in the choices that are made or justified.

bridging gaps

Mark's parents are here this weekend. Last night I had dinner with them, and gave them some of the treats my mom makes for the Lunar New Year. His mom instantly recognized one of them (the rosettes, which are these crunchy sweet things for good fortune in the coming year), saying, "I know how to make this! I have the tool and everything." She said it was probably the same batter, too.

Food. Bringing people together since forever.
