This is no ordinary hedgehog. The bestiary (book of beasts) this little guy inhabits describes the imaginative way this hedgehog gathers fruits. He spears grapes with his spikes and rolls through the vine, collecting more and more as he goes. Moral of the story? Care for your spiritual truths, or the devil may carry them off.

A Hedgehog (detail), Franco-Flemish, about 1270. Tempera colors and gold leaf on parchment. The J. Paul Getty Museum

Nothing like hearing from someone you thought you were totally over. damn it.

... upper middle-class white girls in their mid-twenties who are confused about life isn't a poor disenfranchised group that needs portrayal on tv. And this is coming from a middle-class white girl in her mid-twenties who is confused about her life lol. Sorry for ranting. I've just read so much about the show and Lena that I'm just not impressed and really bothered lol

I totally agree! I was looking forward to a good show, but it’s just a bunch of whiny kids. I guess it’s one show I can skip!

“A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.”

- Albert Camus (via tierradentro)

culinaryconfessional:

Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread

1 can of refrigerated Grands biscuits (not the flaky layers)
1/2 stick of butter
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian Seasoning

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Throw the cold stick of butter in a bundt pan and let it melt in the preheating oven.

While the butter melts, cut the Grands biscuits into quarters. In a bowl, toss the biscuit pieces, garlic, Italian Seasoning, and Parmesan cheese together.

Once the butter is melted, add the biscuit mixture to the pan, sprinkling with any cheese and garlic that gets let behind in the bowl.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 22 minutes until golden brown. Turn out on a dish and enjoy!

Hello, my love nuggets.

Tomorrow (Thursday, January 3rd) I launch my campaign to (hopefully) raise enough money to travel across America and cook in your kitchens!

Also, hug your squishy bodies.

Also, I’d like to do some community service together along the way. You into that? I hope so.
