This month's Glamour magazine has a very good article on rape, so I thought I'd look through the rest of the magazine to see if it stood up to the ideals, or if the rest of the magazine was just as entrenched in our rape culture as any other magazine.

(a bit of a serous one to start us off, sorry)

There's a thread on the article here.

hmm the point of being so pleased with myself is that the meringues are STRIPY - but that seems to have been missed off the link

[RecipeJunkie]

It seems very trivial to get so excited about something like this, but I made meringues. Very pleased with myself.
