A random collection of crafts, costume ideas, recipes, and other miscellaneous nonsense.

I just watched the pilot for Starcrossed and I can't believe I was able to finish the episode. It started out alright with a little girl helping a little alien boy. Then with a fast forward 10 years later we were suddenly in a teen genre that was all too familiar. As soon as the show mentioned a 'sector' I groaned. I love new books or shows that are different, and I will read or watch something recommended to me. Unfortunately, as soon as something becomes a hit in the teen scifi/fantasy genre, there are many copycats. First the vampire genre was a big hit, and there were vampires everywhere, and now the recent topic is the post apocalyptic world where you must choose something at the age of 16. I find that amusing since you're not considered an adult until you reach 18 or 21 for the majority of things. Why would that change in the future? Keywords/Phrases: *Sector *Social Suicide *Sorting *Main character is either 16, or about to be 16 and the plot centers aroun

I had half a red cabbage and 1/4 of a regular cabbage leftover from the previous nights recipe so I decided to make a slaw. I chopped them up and tossed it all into a bowl. Most of the slaw dressings I found online had mayonnaise which I did not like much when I did a test. I made 4 different sauces in bowls and the one I liked the best was the easiest. It's only two ingredients and the sweet tangy taste goes well with red cabbage. Sweet chile sauce and sour cream mixed until creamy. I used Franks sweet chile sauce but any brand would do. Ingredients: 1/2 Red cabbage 1/4 regular cabbage 1/3 bottle sweet chili sauce Match sour cream to sweet chili sauce. I believe it was about 3 tablespoons.

  Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s.  I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
