Friday Five: Things from the week

TGIF mofos. Do you like my descriptive title? Things from the week? Good. Good. Relax, enjoy.

Meanwhile, I post my current hausfrauing schedule on Wednesday. We were out Wednesday night so I meant to pick up some slack Thursday night but I couldn't get off the couch. The universe basically bitch slapped me off of my schedule. Sometimes you have to take your lumps. 

1. I'll start with the most serious, because this is Friday and we like to get serious shit out of the way early. I was ready to throw a Molotov cocktail through the doors of McCann Erickson with my girl Joan this week on Mad Men. BURN IT DOWN! I have a pretty good humor about most things, even things that are not politically correct. But I don't really find anything to laugh about in inequality anymore, there is absolutely zero reason why it still exists except that we as a people allow it to exist. I'm a bitter old feminist about it and I don't mind letting you know it. In the same vein, check out this proclamation from President Jimmy Carter on why he's losing his religion for equality. Thanks Janet for sharing it on the facespace! It's a good read.

2. Since we gave Comcast das boot, I've been missing the clock on the cable box the most. This is the replacement from FancyThisBaby on Etsy.

3. I missed Rex Manning Day on Wednesday. A few months ago Jana and I were all let's do something for Rex Manning Day, then we were like oh we'll talk about it later because it's not for a long time. And we missed it. Christina did not miss it though. Check this post out.

4. If you're a mummer and you get married, you get a serenade. This is the men of the Joseph A. Ferko String Band (and one from Avalon String Band) serenading Freddy & Alex the other night. Excuse the poor video. Good video taking is not in my wheelhouse. Happy wedding day to Freddy & Alex!

5. And and and - This coming Tuesday, April 14, for real. It's book talk day. I have not screwed the date up this time.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend that's a good mix of social, productive, and relaxing.

Zucchini Pie

While I love zucchini pie, I'm really posting this recipe because every time I make it, I have to search my own blog where it hides in the comments of a long ago post to hunt it down. That being said, this is great to make on Sundays and portion out for the week for breakfast or lunch. And those of you with zucchini in your gardens will be all oh my God what the hell do I do with all of this zucchini in a few months, so pin it and enjoy! Thanks to my girl AEB for introducing me to this recipe a few years back.

Ingredients
3 cups zucchini, grated (~1 large or 2 medium, it took me 1.5 big mediums). Squeeze to remove excess water. 
1 small chopped onion or bunch of green onions
1 cup Bisquick (I make my own whole wheat version and use that)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil (coconut oil is okay)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp marjoram (if you don't have it, no worries)
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp parsley 
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a pie dish - I use a Crate & Barrel quiche plate and it fits perfectly.

Dump all ingredients into a big bowl and hand mix, then pour into pie dish. 

Bake for 50 minutes.
