To teach online is much more flexible than teaching in-person – and safer, in the context of a pandemic. I manage to make a few hundred bucks most months with a few different online teaching/tutoring options. I want to tell you about them, and my experiences. www.VIPKid.com – Teach English I start with VIPKid because…

Pets &/Or Uncles
Earliest Pet Memory Part II: Nothing To Do With Pets: Fred #2 (Recorded August 2020, Some Life Notes On Uncle Wig aka Larry aka Laurence) [Momma/Linda came in and showed off a cake] You’re familiar with the story of Harvey Wallbanger? Well, there was a surfer in California, named Harvey, and he’d show up in…
On Rosemary, The Guinea Pig: And Related Musings
Recorded Sept/Oct 2020 [Dad is italics.] So you wanna hear about Rosemary? So… I suppose this was our sophomore year of college, we got each other a Valentine’s present – a handsome Siamese kitten names Clawedious Lucious – and I kept him the rest of sophomore year, then took him to my parents – we…
Signature Recipes
Today, in the Fam Jam Zoom, it was requested I define a signature dish. So. Defining A Signature Dish A signature dish is something you’d be willing to be judged by. A signature dish is something you’d be proud to serve, even to A**Holes like Gordon Ramsey, and be willing for others to form opinions…
My Goal: $42/day or $67/day – And How We Get There
I think this is really fun math to work through, calculating what it would take to reach various income goals, but not everyone in my life (husband, parents, siblings…) think goal math is great fun to talk about. So Imma blog about it, and if you choose to read – yay! But if you think…
How I Make Money Online, and Hopes for the Future
I spend a lot of time online – I mean, this website (and others!) exist! That said, my goal is for it to be my source of income, as well as something fun to do. I do already have some income to brag about from online schemes, but nowhere near enough – yet! – to…
Aunt Gail’s Texas Skillet Dinner
My favorite part of the skillet dinner is that it only uses a skillet for frying the egg, and nothing else. I think it might need a better name, or we should serve the whole thing, warm, in a skillet. This is like a canvas, fairly unseasoned, that can be jazzed up as you see…
Pizza Crust Drama: Finally, Success with a Yeast Bread!
My husband told me all about how he and his brother used to make pizzas with their mom. Spreading sauce, distributing cheese and meats… but he admitted they didn’t make their crust. So to one-up his childhood, we had to make our own crust. My last effort at yeast bread, literally just following my mother’s…
Cousin Michael’s American Chinese Stir-Fry
I basically bullied Cousin Michael into typing up this recipe, which he makes all the time but never wrote down. Personally, I feel like I’m incompetent with tofu, so I’m thrilled to get “proper” directions from someone who knows what they’re doing. With tofu, at least 😉 When you buy the tofu, put it straight…
THE Margarita Recipe, from Dad
There was some family tension – Momma says it’s too good not to share, Dad said it’s too simple to bother writing down. But we convinced him! He calls it the 1-2-3: one part lime juice two parts Cointreau (or similar orange liquor) three parts tequila (or mescal or sotol or some EtOH made from…
