I missed my usual Mom’N’Pop Culture post at the beginning of the month, and I’m going to blame the cookies. Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Dos-si-dos, and about four other varieties of cookies peddled by little girls wearing adorable, sometimes toothless smiles, and patch-covered vests, are to blame for every missed deadline over the past two months.
Cook Your Comics: Super Girlfriend Guacamole
I am beyond thrilled that at this point in my life, I have more women friends than I ever have before. It’s awesome, and it makes my life better all the time. As an overly busy grownup, it’s hard to find time and energy to meet up with friends in person as often as I’d…
Superman v Batman: Dawn of Breakfast – A Review of Cereal
Last week I was deep in research when a delivery man came to the door with a big box. I accepted it, shoved it to the side, and got back to work. I had things to do. Statistics to melt my brain with. I was busy. I got back to the box–resentfully–when it was time…

WWAC Likes Food, A Lot
In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s getting colder as winter approaches. Such coldness calls for bulkier clothing and warmer foods, maybe even taking a little time to slow down and take in the changing season. It’s my favorite time of year food-wise with the abundance of apples, pears, root vegetables, and winter squash, thus when I…
