This OT is Ready for a Road-Trip
Calgon, take me away! I don’t know about anyone else, but these so-called “Holiday Weekends” are utterly exhausting! I live in a resort area, and while everyone is on their way into the area, all I can think of is, “Get me outta here!”

Lunchtime Poll: Favorite Fair Foods
I got an awesome text message today: “Want to go to the fair tonight?” Um, yes. Pierogies, fried Oreos, roast beef sandwiches, apple dumplin’s with freakin’ cinnamon ice cream. My stomach is already rumbling.
Read MoreThis OT is Rocking Out to Some Muzak Gold
Occasionally I’ll hear a song at work that I know all the words to, but can’t quite figure out where I heard it before. Then a week or two later, I’ll be in the car with Mr. qSS (who has fancy-schmancy satellite radio in his car) and it’ll click that it’s on my store’s playlist for the month.

Granny’s Ricotta Cookies
Cookies. Made from cheese. Two of my favorite things in one tasty bite. This sounds like it could be either really gross or the best thing ever, right?
Read MoreThis Wednesday OT Has a Fever!
Happy Wednesday, Persephoneers! And a happy one it is. You see, it’s the beginning of my weekend. As of noon, I am off until Saturday afternoon. Now it’s time to take care of everything that’s gone to the wayside the last two weeks! Laundry! Painting! Puppy and kitty snuggles! Quality time with Mr. qSS!
Read MoreZucchini Cheese Pie
Ah, August. In the northeast U.S., we’ve reached high zucchini season.You’ve probably been given at least one that is the size of a small child by a well-meaning neighbor or coworker (or maybe that’s just me?). By now, you’ve had it sauteed, grilled, diced in sauce, buttered, and still have enough left over to feed a small army. What else …
Read MoreThis Open Thread Needs to Bust a Move
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need more dancing in my life. Or maybe more kitty snuggles. Same difference, right?
Read MoreThis Open Thread is Gettin’ the Party Started!
What party, you ask? Well, Persephoneers, it’s almost the 32nd anniversary of my birth.

As I’m writing this, the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and I’m just about ready to head to the lake. Days like today are the epitome of perfect.

New Show Recap: “Political Animals” Pilot
Every once in a while, a new show comes along that, after you watch it, just makes you want to call everyone you know and ask them if they’ve seen it because you just have to talk to someone about it. My dearest readers, Political Animals is one of those shows. To quote our esteemed leader, Selena, “It’s delicious.” The chemistry …

I know quite a few of you Persphoneers are pretty handy in the kitchen. As I’m watching Hell’s Kitchen with the Mister, I’m curious, what’s your best dish?

Badass Ladies of History: Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Ruth Bader Ginsberg (or RBG, as I affectionately call her in my mind) is a serious badass on the U.S. Supreme Court. Seriously, if I were a poet, I would write an ode to her. Instead, I’m going to give you a bulleted list of her awesomeness.
Read MoreThis OT is (Slowly) Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
Ah, vacation. I’m pretty sure there’s an equation that shows the inverse ratio of vacation enjoyment to time required for reality re-adjustment. Wow, that was a really nerdy way to say that going back to work after a few days off is rough.
Read MoreThis OT is on Vacation!
Good evening, Persephoneers! I am writing this post from the beauty-full Jersey Shore! This is not the vacation that is referenced in the title, though. Actually quite the opposite. This is a working trip, and boy, are we working.
