Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: Cruise, Baltic Sea Region
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/09/cruise-baltic-sea-region.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Saturday, September 04, 2010. Cruise, Baltic Sea Region. Warnemunde is located on the Baltic Sea. Coast in what was once East Germany, and it gave me a thrill to be traveling on East German soil. I was even more pleased that the tour we took to Bad Doberan was on the territory of the Slavic tribes (the Wendish) who once inhabited that region. We visited the Doberan Minster. However, first we stopped at City Hall to look inside, an...

Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: Mixes
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/11/mixes.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Saturday, November 08, 2008. I simply do not understand the popularity of pancake mixes. I know very few people who make pancakes from scratch, although pancakes are the easiest thing in the world and they're practically foolproof. Foolproof recipes are important on Saturday mornings. Posted by Margo at 8:24 AM. Yeah, mixes don't make any sense, esp when all they usually do is premix your dry ingredients (with pesticide laden, che...

Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: May 2005
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Saturday, May 21, 2005. Doubtless a little worried by my behavior, my neighbor emerged from his apartment just as I stepped out onto my front step. I grinned sheepishly, "Out of cornmeal," and took off at a dead run. Posted by Margo at 3:01 PM. Friday, May 06, 2005. Back Roads and New Neighbors, Part 2. However, the signs. The trails are rated "easier," "more difficult," and "most difficult." Some of the "most difficult" ones ...

Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: Cruise, North Sea Region
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/09/cruise-north-sea-region.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Saturday, September 04, 2010. Cruise, North Sea Region. We flew into London Heathrow and boarded a transfer bus to the cruise ship, Regatta on Oceania cruise line. Really, don't ask me for a cruise line recommendation; I prefer to stay in a mountain hut. I did like getting lox for breakfast every morning, though. We traveled through the North Sea. We were given free time for lunch in Delft, and then we drove back to the ship, taki...

Tex-Pat Diaries: April 2012
http://tex-pat.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Ravings and ramblings of an exited Texan. Monday, April 30, 2012. I can't stress it enough, the things I went through as a female budoka have nothing to do with the injuries, the injustices (changing in the broom closet because the men freaked out about my longline sport bra and bike shorts, which I politely wore under my clothes so I could change without disturbing anyone) the weirdness and stupid jokes, which, frankly, I was born and raised to turn back on anyone. Get better at those, get better at budo.

Tex-Pat Diaries
http://tex-pat.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-began-in-second-largest-state-of.html
Ravings and ramblings of an exited Texan. Thursday, April 12, 2012. I began, in the second largest state of the union. Try not to feel alone, especially if you are too eccentric to fit into its most eccentric city, Austin, Texas. Living on the outside of the outside, it was a relief to be in an actual foreign country. If it was true that the strongest, physically, should rule society, then let's just get a lot of orang-utans to run for office. It would make as much sense as the jocks running high sch...

Tex-Pat Diaries
http://tex-pat.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-am-living-in-generation-of-shame.html
Ravings and ramblings of an exited Texan. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. I am living in a generation of shame. Ashamed of our basic rites of human life. In order to make more of our selves, we must surrender to our selves. The most basic urge is to "re-create". The difference of modern human life, is the ability to regulate the consequence, which lies largely on the female of the human species, who must bear the burden of gestation. Who teaches children how to interact with others? A Slightly Raucous Kitchen.

Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: Glacier Travels
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/09/glacier-travels.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Sunday, September 13, 2009. Cold air came in that night, so in the morning I needed my hiking clothes. Hidden Lake Overlook trail had a climb and a brief descent to a wooden viewing platform. Sometimes we were out of the wind, and it was comfortable. The viewing platform was the most exposed spot, and we could not remain there for long! Posted by Margo at 2:29 PM. Iowa, United States. View my complete profile. Day in the Badlands.

Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: April 2005
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Monday, April 25, 2005. Return of the Prairie Wind. I remember when I was a kid, and I could never seem to find days that were windy enough to fly a kite. Must have been a quiet year! However, my favorite turnaround spot is the willow-shrouded pond with the swans at the 9-mile mark. I'll wait for a calmer day. Posted by Margo at 4:34 PM. Saturday, April 23, 2005. How to Describe Women's Shape. But no, my fingers are not that long,...

Somewhat Raucous Kitchen: March 2005
http://somewhatraucouskitchen.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
A collection of silly essays often involving food, bicycling, and anxiety. Friday, March 25, 2005. Last weekend was, at long last, the final weekend of my community theatre play. Again I lied and lied and lied: "Yes, it's been fun." Okay, it. Fun to enhance my nun costume with a temporary forearm tattoo of a skull with the words "BORN BAD." That part was fun. Plus, we provided large crowds of people with some really good laughs, which is one of my favorite kinds of public service. Sunday, March 20, 2005.
