Garbage Pie

Peach, cherry and the 3 old apples, all different varieties, that had been rolling around in the bottom of the fruit drawer in the fridge since May.

Friday supper / Saturday breakfast

Last night we just hung around and watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony. My favorite Olympic image is the rings hanging down from Tower Bridge; I have it as wallpaper in my phone. But it wasn’t part of the spectacle. Mark got Pasquals; I made myself a cutting board of bread and cheese and tomatoes and […]

Thursday night supper

Ate supper by myself tonight – there was a yellow summer squash casserole, too, for the 2nd course.

Dinner at Annie’s, pt. 2

She wanted me to make a couple of big bowls of salads, and some bars for dessert. Based on what I got in my CSA […]

It all goes wrong

Yesterday morning when I was going through my morning routine in the basement, feeding the cats, scooping litter, dumping the dehumidifier, I noticed water seeping under the partition between the laundry room half of the basement and the furnace room half. A few weeks ago, I had said that probably the next thing to break […]

That was the week that wasn’t

Wasn’t much for  blogging, though I certainly did cook and eat. On Wednesday, I did a small private dinner – that’s what the tomato tarts were for. It was a nice group. A woman I know through work organized it – she works with instructional technology on campus.  It was her and her girlfriend, and […]
