In Search of Barb/Hunter/Aravah

Action figures, Alice Cooper top hat, SIGNED Alice Cooper poster, BTVS posters, faux skull holding my kippah, spooky tree candle holder as a weekday Shabbat menorah, tallit (prayer shawls) and guitar



Window with curtains.  Tree of life art piece and a handmade sign: Do one thing each day that makes you happy and dance like Snoopy


 bookshelves, purple hat, red top hat


bookshelves, desk (w/laundry), hats, Russian lacquer pieces. In the hall, pictures of me, Uncle George, Jackie's dad and cousin Chris in uniform


wooden crates I use as a nightstand cubes and Mulder - Fox Mulder (yeah, X-Files pop culture reference!)

The mother Mary hanging was hanging in the first home my father and Mom had on base in Ft. Knox, Ky and it hung over my bed ever since. 54 years (before I was even born)

Ignore the thrashed appearance of the room - we've been moving and cleaning stuff.

Ma;

You know I've been doing a bit of self exploration for a couple of months or more.  I never really developed a strong sense of self (whatever the hell that means).  I joined the Marine Corps and they pretty much mold you to their standards.  Once out of the Corps we were busy just trying to survive and Rocky Horror wasn't a 24/7 persona thing.

Then we moved in together and you know how cutting your frowns of disapproval could be and, over the years, I had "toned down" a lot of my wardrobe and interests.  Now it feels like I'm in my early 20s in a lot of ways.  I want my horror movie posters back, I want my Alice Cooper posters on the wall.  My action figures are up (only got a slight disapproving frown for those - hah!). 

So, part of the exploration will be painting one or two of my walls and playing a bit with theme/decorations in my room.

paprika bendl - Paprika Chicken

My speciality. I found this recipe in an unusual book in my senior year in highschool and we gave it a try. I've adapted it over the years (reducing the paprika so we aren't reaching for a pitcher of water or milk like Jonathan Harker was). This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
