Fab flix: Double Dare

Dunno who of you have Netflix but my queue is unusually large (Has anyone else discovered that there's a 500-title limit? Just me?) so I thought I'd share some recommendations with you. This may be particularly helpful to those who, like myself, only have the streaming subscription and are annoyed by the limited subset of the full catalog. Allow me to do some digging for you!

I'm not going for legit reviews here. I'd never get the posts written. So without further ado, my first recommendation is that you check out Double Dare, a gem of a documentary about kick-ass stunt women Jeannie Epper (below) and Zoë Bell.

If you check it out, let me know what you think.

TV dinner!

Not really, but when I was trying to figure out the best way to heat up Wednesday night's leftovers for last night's dinner I had a stroke of brilliance:

Okay, maybe I'm a little generous on what counts for brilliance around here only I couldn't help but get excited over these arrangements. I even made place for the desert: banana cake I invented earlier in the week.

This was also a particularly satisfying meal (despite my having overcooked the brussel sprouts) and one that Mr Fab gave high marks. Meatloaf (recipe below) with mashed potatoes, kasha, roasted brussel sprouts and semolina banana cake. I was planning on making some mushroom gravy but I forgot. Both nights!

Time management

Oh sweet interwebs, I do love you so but, um, I think we're maybe seeing too much of each other and, well, I need some space.

During the super-productive time I enjoyed last fall, I tried something new; I used a timer to keep me mindful of my time spent sitting at the computer. I wish I didn't need this kind of help, but I do. I've spent entire days surfing the web without realizing it. That shocking realization when Mr Fab comes home from work and I haven't gotten dressed, made the bed or eaten or anything. One or two days like that isn't the end of the world but, well, I've had a few more of them than that...
