Monkey sorbet

One of my favorite procrastination destinations is Hi Monkey. Monkeys will always hold a special place in my heart, even the terrycloth ones.

Today, monkey teaches us how to make sorbet using a recipe that is very similar to Lia V's infamous "camping omelettes". Enjoy!

winter break happy hour, anyone?

I propose a Winter Break edition of happy hour this Friday, January 12, at the Angelic. Meet me and my special guest around 7 pm. Single librarians are especially encouraged to attend. Manbrarians, dates, and other hangers-on are also welcome.

I Miss You Bitches (Reprise)

I'm back in Madison and I'm assuming many of you are as well. Thus, I suggest we get together and do what we do best: eat, drink and bitch. Perhaps a happy hour or something of the sort? Suggestions?

Swedish Librarians

Two posts in one day - whew! OK, they are definitely rocking the stereotype here, but when was the last time you saw REAL librarians featured in a fashion spread??? Plus, stereotypical or not, I think some of the outfits are cute ;-)

Seattle?

Hey lovely ladies (and gents) I hope you all are having a fine holiday season. Looks like traffic on the blog has been slow lately – if anyone is in town we should arrange some sort of outing!

Cheers!
