On Wednesday, I got home and made a butterscotch pie, basically, butterscotch pudding in a crust, topped with a carton of all natural Cool Whip that I got out of the freezer and set on the counter to thaw (even though the label says not to). It was good – we ate it for our […]
We just spent another weekend in Chicago, mostly to see Arcade Fire. Here’s some of the food: The rest are on the photo blog – and I didn’t take any pictures at Spiaggia Cafe. It was almost like two trips – the extremely cold and rainy part, and the sunny & mild part. We drove […]
I made a PBJ out a couple slices from the loaf I kept. I took it to work and ate half for breakfast and half for snack.
This year I guess I’m not celebrating Passover. Just sort of worked out that way. On Monday when I could have been having a first night sedar, I had a few friends over for a glass of wine and crackers & cheese (yes, they could have been matzoh crackers but they weren’t), and then we […]

This morning I braved the rain and cold and went to the first farmers’ market; bought some potatoes from Matt – […]
Planned Parenthood of WI is celebrating its 75th birthday with 75 house parties in Wisconsin – and I decided to host one. (I’m a huge philanthropist – in December, I give $25 here and $50 there to lots of organizations, up to the max I can deduct on my taxes, and Planned Parenthood is always […]
Started with a Willy St. Co-op finance committee, after which I got to drive my car out the back exit of the parking lot to Jenifer St. Nothing happened – I didn’t run over any kids or old ladies, or people my own age, houses didn’t crumble to dust. I just pulled out, turned left, […]
