The Return of Campus Mail
by yiddle on Aug.03, 2009, under Art, The Geekery, inspiration
In college my friend Rob and I used to send each other campus mail. Why? Why not. It was free. We were bored. It was entertaining. It was better than bills in the mail. We live many hours apart now, but we decided to bring back campus mail. Like I said, it’s better than bills in the mailbox, and a bit more quaint than facebook. It’s paper and ink and glue and tape and you can hold it in your hand and it is the best thing you’ve picked up all day because someone created this ridiculous *thing* for YOU. This is Volume 07282009_01 of IALCM (It’s Almost Like Campus Mail). Don’t try to understand it. It doesn’t need understanding. Or analyzing. It just is. Hopefully it makes one smile. Or recognize. Or something. I haven’t decided yet if I will post all volumes. Or episodes. I haven’t decided what to call them yet. Maybe some will show up here and some will be more elusive. Want some IALCM? Maybe you’ll find one in your mailbox. If you’re lucky. Maybe.

Pie Pops! A fabulous idea that I can’t take credit for. LuxiRare is the inventor of these yummy snacks. I heard about them first through Bakerella‘s twitter feed, and then they were featured on Craftzine’s blog too. I decided to try making them. (continue reading…)

I ran across this recipe for Ham, Cheese-n-Egg Cups the other day and thought they’d be great for lunches, so I made some tonight. I had one for dinner, and it was really good. The kitties had one for dinner too, because I dropped one. They ate theirs faster than I ate mine. (continue reading…)

Check out those cute little teeny grapes! They’re Champagne grapes. Also known as Black Corinth grapes, they’re really sweet and fun to eat by themselves, but I thought they’d also be great in a salad. (continue reading…)

As you can tell, I didn’t spend much time in the kitchen this weekend. The best part of tomorrow’s lunch is the mango nectarine.

Tomorrow’s lunch is another help from the grocery store lunch. I know, I keep cheating. But it makes my life easier, and right now that’s good. Plus I was dying for inari the other day so I stopped and picked some up. (continue reading…)
