The Poop Deck: December 2008
http://madelynruth.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 15, 2008. A simple reminder for my budget-minded friends that toast is not just a little burnt crust on the side of a plate. Toast is a meal. We like challah French toast best, but in a pinch, white or wheat sandwich bread does just fine. This is basically cheddar cheese, doctored up and melted, over toast. Follow the link for a recipe. A friend of mine likes to put baked beans on toast. And let's not forget cheese toast! Feta and garlic toast! Saturday, December 13, 2008. The seeds we r...

The Poop Deck: Make-it Night
http://madelynruth.blogspot.com/2009/12/make-it-night.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. My favorite night of Hanukkah at our house is the self-instituted make-it night, where the gifts we give are the gifts we make. I LOVE crafts. I'm just not that good at making them, being too impatient for some of the finer details. Fortunately, I've never let that stop me. Here are the things I made the kids this year:. Hopefully you can recognize these guys without a label. My kids, at least, knew who they were! I used this free Lazy Days Skirt Pattern.

Thursday, November 12, 2009. Who needs Happy Meal toys? Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Okay, these actually took more than 5 minutes to make, but they didn't take TOO long so I figured I'd share. Introducing the sock Moomins, as visualized by my own Moomin fans. These past few weeks, Washington's embassies have been host to the Kids Euro Festival. Performances. BUT we made it to one, at the Finnish embassy, featuring "a musical landscape" inspired by Tove Jansson's Moomintroll Books. The event featured Snuf...

The Poop Deck: April 2009
http://madelynruth.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. Happy Release Day for Stonewall HInkleman. A happy release day for Stonewall Hinkleman and the Battle of Bull Run. What's the best way to celebrate a new book? With a musical playlist! Since I haven't actually gotten to preview the book (something I hope to rectify by this afternoon), my song choices are based on what Sam's told me about it. Maybe I'll update my picks after I've read it. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Shenandoah ( Tony Rice's. Wednesday, April 1, 2009.

The Poop Deck: 5 minute moomin

Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Okay, these actually took more than 5 minutes to make, but they didn't take TOO long so I figured I'd share. Introducing the sock Moomins, as visualized by my own Moomin fans. These past few weeks, Washington's embassies have been host to the Kids Euro Festival. This is the second year they've held it. Last year we were too out of it to notice. This year we noticed late and by the time we did, we were too ensconced in soccer games to make it to most of the free (yes! The event...

The Poop Deck: October 2009
http://madelynruth.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Lots on my mind after attending Kidlitcon 09. This weekend in Crystal City. While that all gels into what may become a blog post, I just wanted to invoke, for a moment, my lunch, purchased from perhaps the most generic deli ever built. I have two new food-related theories and they are as follows. 1 If it doesn't smell like salami, it's not a real deli. 2 If you visit a bagel. Thursday, October 15, 2009. I didn't buy a Hedwig," I told him. Could we make one? Not perfect, perhaps...
