ad lib//a challenge for you according to pleasure\\reciprocate

"Ad lib":

often used as a verb to convey acting spontaneously and without plan

its Latin root LITERALLY MEANING "ACCORDING TO PLEASURE"

SO I WILL NOW DO SOMETHING AD LIB

OR AD LIB AD LIB 

AD LIB POEM~~

ad lib my lips according to your pleasure

according to my pleasure, ad lib yours

now, if we were to translate this (using the modern verb meaning and attaching the Latin derivate):

do something unplanned according to pleasure to my lips according to your pleasure
according to your pleasure, do something unplanned according to pleasure to yours

yikes my poem sucks

the website from which i recovered this image shows that Google knows your childhood more than you think.

NOW I want this blog to become more interactive. I want to hear you.

So I'm giving you a challenge.

challenges with Sarah Simon.

So far in this post, we've dabbled into discussion of spontaneity according to your pleasure. Yesterday, a friend let me in on exploring my top Google pleasures from the 28 days, or a way to view a recent history of my top Google searches.

Do you want to learn of the recent urgencies that have channeled through your fingertips, in hope of some clarifying or self-confirming search?

Well.

STEP 1: Log into your Gmail account. From what I know, you can only do this with a Gmail account.

STEP 2:Hark back to a particular home page.

STEP 3:Click the square of squares in the upper right hand corner.

STEP 4:Click "My Account" from the drop-down.

STEP 5:Under the "Personal Info & Privacy" Menu, click "Account Overview".

STEP 6:Then you'll see "See how you use Google." Check out your dashboard.

You may have to enter your password again.

 STEP 7:From the dashboard, you'll be able to see the various ways you use Google. After scrolling, you'll arrive at "Search History." If it's enabled, "Search History" and its drop-down menu will allow you to, as I said, explore your recent pleasures.

Here are mine, world:

adrian monk frying an egg. if this is you, know know where that comes from.

So, we've covered most of the challenge. Here comes the unplanned part of viewing the things you've searched "according to pleasure":

Write a poem including at least 4 of the items on your "Top Queries" list. If you post your pleasure poem in the comments (either on the blog on on Facebook), I'll post mine.

See ya.

animals & other poems

By Emily Carney.

ANIMALS

In Blankets

They take their turns placing dumbbells on top of one another, to keep reminded: these dreamlike qualities of rooms are ones of prevarication. The plumy way in which his dipper lip blooms up the word ‘wonderful’ wins her over: she buries a white nose beneath his ear.

do your little bit//not food related\\a definitely food-related challenge

"Do your little bit of good wherever you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." ~Desmond Tutu

Can you tell I copy and pasted the above from a PowerPoint>

Well. I'm going to do my little bit of good right now. 

And it's funny what we decide to be "good"; the term is subjective, left to contingencies, spliced on situational dependencies.

Can you think of something that seems to be "good" in your life right now that, at other times, hasn't been so good?

coats, for instance.

Because I began this thing with claims that it was and would forever be a food blog, for the first time in a battery of posts, I'm going to be discussing food.

Here's an instance I can picture now, where the "good" is entirely reliant on disposition or situation. Look at this:

This is my left hand, holding a jar of cashew butter in a health food store. My right hand is busy documenting what my left hand is doing.

In my opinion then, and in my opinion now, this jar of cashew butter is good. But what if I was severely allergic to cashews? Or take this:

A turkey, stuffed to the brim by my father (whose hand I physically impeded from additional stuffing action). This image, while it was taken, reflected something I thought was good. Half an hour later, a picture of food was the last thing I wished to see. 

One last one, not food related:

or I hope you don't consider it food related. That's not good.

When posing for this high school prom picture, I didn't consider the act particularly good or bad. I remember feeling a dullness that I thought should resemble excitement.

Now, I look back on prom and I think it was pretty good.

Anyway, speaking of good. I hope my ostensible displays of culinary mediocrity will inspire a little somethin' in your kitchen.

make it good.

Credit for this pie goes to Mehdi, who made it without following a recipe.

And so I challenge you. Make a pie. Don't measure anything.

See how it turns out.

Maybe your expression will resemble his.
