Open Thread: Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Wendy AtterberrySeptember 3, 2010 //

Happy Labor Day weekend! This is the post to come check in and connect with your fellow Frisky peeps. What are y’all up to this weekend? What are some of your favorite recipes/dishes to bring to a BBQ? What was the highlight of your summer? What are you looking forward to this fall? I’ll start: I’m staying in New York this weekend, hanging with friends, hitting Coney Island, doing some flea marketing, and hopefully welcoming a new addition into the world (a good friend went into labor today!). The highlight of my summer was moving to Brooklyn, and this fall I’m looking forward to cooler outdoor workouts, a fiction class I’m thinking of taking, and perhaps a trip to New Orleans. Oh, and one of my favorite recipes to bring to BBQs is this easy — but delish — key lime pie. Your turn! Keep reading »

Open Thread: What Does Your Halloween History Say About Your Character?

Susannah BreslinOctober 27, 2009 //

At this point, I’ve experienced my share of Halloweens, and I’ve worn my share of wacky costumes. I’ve been a geisha girl (I even wore geta), a witch (it was hard to breathe through that green plastic mask), a deranged prom queen (I wrote “Heterosexual Imperative” across my forehead for a reason I can no longer recall — it was college, what can I say?), Loana from “One Million Years B.C.” (my then-boyfriend handmade me a fur miniskirt and matching bikini top out of a vintage fur coat), a ghost (a sheet with holes for eyes — a last minute kind of thing), a creature from outer space (green and white striped Dr. Denton pajamas with feet, huge green sunglasses, and a green knit hat with a pom-pom), Dido (with a sword that I had “fallen” on and blood), and many more. What were you and what are you going to be this year? Confess your Halloween best in the comments! Keep reading »
