Heather says: Riddle me this: How is it that we are so eager to watch other people browning beef cubes on screen but so much less eager to brown them ourselves? For the rise of Julia Child as a figure of cultural consequence — along with Alice Waters and Mario Batali andMartha Stewart and Emeril Lagasse and whoever …
I’m running a bit later than I wanted to for church, so here you guys get retro Saturday on Sunday! This edition of Stupid Questions ran on May 12, last year. Ivy says: After a brief hiatus, Kathy is back with more Stupid Questions! Thank God, because I have had the crappy day to end …
Heather says: I bet Kathy T thinks we forgot all about her stupid questions. I have a tablecloth used during a Girl Scout ceremony in which we lit lots of candles. Not just ordinary white candles, but “crayola” colored candles! I have melted blobs of red, blue, yellow, and green wax all over the tablecloth. …
Kathy T is back with more Stupid Questions™. This time, it’s a holiday edition. The tree is in my attic. Gathering dust. It’s an artificial 6- or 7-footer. What’s the best way to clean it before spreading the dust throughout my house? Heather – There are several methods you could try, depending on how dusty …

Ivy says: After a brief hiatus, Kathy is back with more Stupid Questions! Thank God, because I have had the crappy day to end all crappy days, and I love Stupid Questions. 🙂 1. What’s a really great Mother’s Day gift for the Mom who has everything, lives faraway, and is on vacation now anyway? …
Ivy says: The best part of having SiteMeter is watching it to see what people are googling to get to your site. Every now and again, we get a question I’d like to answer. Today is one of those days. Will tapping my nails make them stronger? No, it just annoys the crap out of …

Ivy says: I’ve been sick for the past couple of days, so I’m trying to make up for some lost time on the site. I know you’ve all been missing my sharp wit and amazing commentary. And I know you’ve been missing some Stupid Questions™, so here they are! Thanks again to Kathy T for …
