Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
Ever get the feeling that you picked the wrong unmarketable degree? Now, now, don’t take that the wrong way. I just had this passing feeling that it would be great to study and dissect comics all day long. Have a look.

dunno if I like it better, but I was starting to not really like the other way at all.
The ingredients from the pantry inventory: farfalle pasta (bowtie), alfredo sauce, a can of quartered artichoke hearts and crumbly sausage.
The idea: brown the sausage and then mix all the stuff together after cooking and bake (to take the jarred alfredo sauce taste out of the alfredo). Unfortunately the alfredo sauce surprised me with a use by date of January 2012. I wasn’t willing to tempt fate.
The solution: cook other ingredients as planned and assemble with goat cheese and parmesan (found in the fridge). It worked out pretty well and I’m only slightly irked that the alfredo sauce expired under my watch.
How to solve impossible problems: Daniel Russell’s awesome Google search techniques is the most fantastic thing I have read in a while. I am often swimming in search results pages, looking for something that other people can’t find and just when I’ve got a whole list of tips and tricks – I don’t know what to search for first.
So, I’m juggling being a work-aholic with caring for family and I got a cold. I tend to stock up on healthy snacks and vitamin drinks when I know I am overtaxed and that’s when I found Belvita Breakfast Biscuits | Biscuits specially designed for breakfast.
I carried them around in my purse for a couple days and ended up shoveling a single serving pack of four biscuits in my mouth during a commute when I realized I’d waited too long to eat. They did the trick, but I didn’t realize how AMAZING they were until I had another pack at work when I got to that point in the afternoon where my cold was reminding me that I should have stayed home. Did I say AMAZING? THESE BISCUITS ARE THE BOMB! Anything that can make me with a cold feel semi-human in the afternoon deserve to be sought out and hoarded.
Apparently they’re marketed for special slow release carbohydrates that can energize you for hours. I recommend them highly. I am going out to get more of them.
This is going to be an awesome comic – that is, if it comes out the way it is in my head.
Not original by any means, I know. Basically mine is just another vehicle for other things you might want to get rid of, that is, left-overs: some rice, tomato puree, chick peas, ground beef, cheese, etc. I picked up a tip to coat the peppers in olive oil to help them cook.
Then bake at 350-400 until the peppers change color and get all flimsy.
Like I said, not original. I have to post them because my husband likes them so much.
I’ve had this open on my computer for weeks now. I’d work on it whenever I couldn’t think of anything else to do or was actively trying to avoid doing something else now. I think I’m done with it now.
Yo. So, I entered the Giraffes?Giraffes! t-shirt contest. I didn’t win, but I thought you might be interested in the design none-the-less. Here tis:
Ok, I am planning more improvements to the site again. It happens the more time I spend in waiting rooms. I flip through this notebook I carry around in my purse and see some message to myself about something I should change or update and then I’m drawing pictures of major page make-overs. Eventually I will be completely satisfied with all my existing pages and will only be able to add more. That’s what I imagine anyway.
But then I’ll learn something new.
