How to Teach Kids to Not Be Bullies Online (+ Win a Copy of Kindness Wins!)

June 19, 2015 By Food Retro

Resources for those teaching kids to navigate the internet: we need to teach children how to be kind online | bullying | books | helpful tips

I’ve been online since the dawn of the graphical browser, and its amazing how much the internet has changed. But what’s also amazing is how much it has also stayed the same in so many ways–bullies have been online, writ large, since the days that the internet was strictly text-only. But in my day, I…

Parents: 10 Life-changing Movies on Netflix Your Millennial Kids Must Watch #StreamTeam

May 28, 2015 By Food Retro

As a film school nerd married to a film buff, I’d argue that my six-year-old has already had a somewhat unconventional upbringing when it comes to popular cinema–we’ve plopped him in front of virtually every appropriate 80s and 90s movie (and even a few less appropriate ones) that we could get our hands on. Movies have…

Netflix and Daredevil: Daring to be Different #StreamTeam

April 10, 2015 By Food Retro

My dad has compulsion; it manifests itself in the collection of… things. He’s done stamps, rocks, photography equipment, antique watches, Honiton lace, guitars, comics, coins, guns, jewelry, and flow-blue china. These are the ones I know about–there’s probably dozens of ones I don’t.  The problem with my dad’s passing obsessions is that he’ll lose interest in…

Things I Read Thursday – Bad Romance

November 27, 2014 By Food Retro

  Most of my reading the last little bit has been taken up with reading and shopping for cookbooks, which is SUPER exciting, I know! Mostly it involves looking for ideas that haven’t been done to death for a new twist or an old classic, especially now that I’m writing for YMC. Oh, right, I…

Things I Read Thursday – 11/13 – Mutant Potatoes, Hoverboards and Comets, Oh My!

November 13, 2014 By Food Retro

Because my brain sometimes comes up with weird associations, as I sit here, writing about Things I Read, for some reason I have the Masterpiece Theatre theme song playing in the back of my head. And then I free-flow to how Sesame Street used to have a parody spoof, with Cookie Monster, which got all…

Things I Read – Lawyers In Space Edition

November 6, 2014 By Food Retro

Welcome to my inaugural #ThingsIReadThursday, because regular things like this are going to help me get through this NaBloPoMo challenge between recipe creation and my other work. I spend a ton of time reading on a bunch of different subjects every day, and sometimes I troll through some really interesting stuff. So it seems like…

Adventure Bread

August 25, 2014 By Food Retro

You guys know how much I like my books. Raincoast Books was a dear and sent me Josey Baker Bread. It’s not only a fabulous recipe book with a cute guy in it, it’s a story about a guy who never ever thought he’d end up in the place he was as a full time baker;…

That Night Review and $250+ Raincoastbooks Giveaway (ends 6/22)

June 17, 2014 By Food Retro

I’m always on the lookout for new great authors, because honestly I read too much. I can go through the entire 12 volume series of a romance novel writer in a 2 month period. Okay, so I don’t usually read crime thrillers… they’re not my preferred genre (that would be SF, Fantasy, Romance, and Cookbooks,…

Why My Kid is an Early Reader

April 23, 2014 By Food Retro

Encouraging early reading has sort of gotten a bad rap. For the love of me, I can’t understand why. I was an early reader. My father was an early reader. My son is now also an early reader, and it’s turned him into a happy and precocious little kid who reads some surprisingly humongous words…
