Think It's Easy??

5 things:

1.  I can do most things online with Firefox, and I love it.  Mostly.

2.  Some sites, however, work best if I use Google Chrome.  Not all.

3.  So....what would my Bright Line rule be here?  This bright concept is from the 5th paragraph down of a post on Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project blog--for which, many thanks to Ms. Rubin.   Here's what Rubin says about a "bright line rule": 

“bright-line rule,” a useful concept I learned in law school. A bright-line rule is a clearly defined rule or standard that eliminates any need for interpretation or decision-making; for example, observing the Sabbath, or using the New York Times’s Manual of Style and Usage to decide grammar questions, or never buying bottled water,  or making purchases only from a prepared list.

 4.  I confess that I have never used the NYTimes Style Guide.  The only ones for me have been the Sixth Edition (second printing--there's mistakes in the first printing) of the APA Style Manual (because I was an APA editor), or the beloved Chicago Manual of Style, or Words into Print if all else fails.  My bright line is not quite so linear. Thus, the bright line for using Firefox vs. Chrome for me is Use what works where & when. Simple, eh?  Pain in the butt, yes. 

5.  Some of the best recipes for vegetable dishes can be found in the Food & Wine Annual Cookbooks, 2013 and 2014.  Especially the 2013!!  This volume is blessed by many recipes from Grace Parisi and Tamar Adler. Soooo wonderful!!
