My offspring is unhappy with the uninspired menu at our house, but she's also a finicky little vegetarian who doesn't want to cook for herself. In fact, we just discussed this problem over dinner last night (at a local restaurant). Luckily, I ran across Lisa Hoover's update about the Open Source Food site, Feed Your Face At Open Source Food. If we can replace even one frozen pizza at our house with a new recipe, it would be a good start. Food and fabulous photos? Fantastic!Feb 26, 2008 GMT
If I wrote a Letter to My Body, it would be more of an official apology for spending so much time at the computer this past weekend. I'd close the letter with a promise to run right out to the gym and lift weights in an effort to relieve my regular neck pain.

I don't plan to apply myself to the checkbook-balancing and paperwork-filing tasks any time soon, but my crazy photo system really bugs me. I'm not writing about photo management just because I've been trying to figure out a way to use a picture of my Boston Terrier, Olive (even though she is the cutest). Actually, I ran across Kristin Shoemaker's "Flipping the Linux switch: Quick and easy photo management with F-Spot." My favorite part of her tutorial is where she says, "You'll notice a few things...Feb 22, 2008 GMT
