The Sound of Tearing Pages

Things I Ripped Out of Food Magazines Today:

*Mini-booklet of 50 Pizzas- Food Network Mar 2010

*"Sharpen Your Skills" FN Oct 2009 (How to dice onion, segment an orange, butcher a chicken, and filet a fish)

*"Green Apple-Sourdough Pancakes" FN Mar 2010

*"Cone of Plenty" FN Nov 2009 (Sweet spiced nuts served in a waffle cone)

*An advertisement for Glidden paint (Fresh Hyacinth and Black Tulip)

*"Buckwheat Crepes" FN Dec 2009 (Citris Shrimp, Sauteed Spinach, Sweet Onion, and Creamy Mushroom fillings)

*"Fennel-Cabbage Slaw" FN Jan/Feb 2010 (Same page, "Balsamic Glazed Squash" (acorn))

*"On the Road" FN June/July 2009 (1950's camper as food truck selling snow cones)

*"Making Classic Hollandaise" Cuisine At Home April 2010

*"Gateau Basque" Cuisine At Home Feb 2010 (Classic pastry, Italian cookie type crust w/ pastry creme)

*"Tart, Tasty Sourdough" Cuisine At Home Feb 2010


I just wanted to let you know that I considered using proper MLA citation for all of these, but as it's a No Pants Day... well, you can probably see where I'm going with that.

Nowhere, because I'm lazy.

There is something very therapeutic for me about ripping pages out of magazines. I have a folder over an inch thick of food recipes and articles. I have boxes of pictures from piles of magazines about graphic design and photography that my mother unloaded on me a few years ago.  I have forty some-odd food and science magazines in my bookshelves, some for years, just waiting for a day when I have a few hours free.

School starts this week, as does training. They will just have to wait some more.
