“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Invoking the Tolstoy Principle and its corrallary, “No one would watch a TV show about a normal couple with kids.”

I wouldn’t cauterize those ovaries yet, Lem. Under the right circumstances, you’d be a hell of a Mom. (although I’ve never met you, you do provide us glimpses to your world.) To wit:

–The warm way you write about Superboy and Mama Bear reveal you know what a healthy family relationship should look like.
–Your weight struggle and memories of how people treated you have taught you about humanity and decency.
–The appreciation of food eaten out and food eaten in reveal an ability to enjoy the small things, which childrearing provide in abundance.

When you meet the right guy and are at the right point in your life, it’ll be as natural as breathing…

That is really kind. Thank you so much.

I’d just like to point out the irony and hypocrisy of this “ansel” situation.

Lemmonex dedicated a post to pretty much trashing people on a tv show, which is fine, we all have our guilty pleasures. Ansel trashes your blog on occasion.

How do you not see that is the same thing? By submitting incredibly personal information to the public domain, like John and Kate do on their TV show and you do on this website, you are inviting both the people who will celebrate you and the people who are repelled by you. You can’t trash the TV show and then be upset when someone does it to you without also being a hypocrite yourself.

Not taking sides, but an observation in human behavior…

Hey George–welcome. I actually agree with you. I put myself out here and I definitely take some criticism. My point with Ansel is he seems intent on slamming me but NOT reading what I actually say. I like when people disagree–I am not building a Lem fan club here–but I like basis in criticism.

[...] night I thought about that cold weather and how Lemmonex was writing about oven roasted tomatoes on her blog and it got me to thinking about how good grilled cheese and tomato soup would be… Cream of [...]

My reading comprehension is fine.It doesn’t matter why you are mocking Kate’s reproductive choices; you brought them up and ridiculed them.

Parenthetical asides don’t change the fact that you legitimately think IV treatment is something to comment on in a negative way. That’s an awful thing for anyone to write, you deserve to be called out on it.

Oh, great mother of mercy. I do not think that, but feel free to interpret my words however you choose.

okay, i love the show. i am of asian decent and joke that my boyfriend (whose is pretty much glow in the dark he is so white) and i would have even cuter kids then those dinks. then i watch the show, have a shot of whiskey and realize that cute kids are never the reason to turn a perfectly happy couple into… that.

watching her cook for those poor kids makes my stomach turn. it reminds me of a tired cafeteria lady peddling slop. organic slop, but slop nontheless. there is no love in what she makes for them.

alexis is pretty rad, but my fave is colin because he is so OCD.

Welcome Oxen Cox…Colin is pretty OCD but a total cutie. Also, there are some serious rumors that he is autistic, which is obviously fine and somewhat “normal” in our culture, but I wish they would speak about it more if this was the case…they are in a position to help people.

it’s interesting that the products which are supposed to be the simplest and most ‘natural’ also have the most adjectives attached to them. not to mention, the more you try to ‘purify’ your kids, the more more you’re either turning them into frail creatures with tons of food allergies or setting them up to rebel against everything you’ve forced on them.

any SWPL yuppie can go to whole foods with an unlimited budget and put a decent plate of food on a table. great cuisine comes from the ability to make do. really good food comes from really good technique, and good technique is somthing that people had to develop to deal with less-than-prime pickings. the test of a god cook to me: make me a good meal with what you can get for ten bucks at the soviet safeway.

Sadly, it is really hard to cook a decent meal for $10 but it can be done.
