Somehow, a lot of tomatoes of a variety of types came home with us the last couple of days, and I’ve spent a lot of time processing them. On Wednesday, I went to the little farmers market and got some green and pink tomatoes to make a green tomato mincemeat from the Local Food Journal […]
Yesterday the Farmer’s market was so gorgeous – it made you want to buy everything and start squirreling away stuff for winter. There’re still some summer crops like melon and tomatoes and corn, and fresh second growths of the herbs and greens that were looking wilted in the heat just a week ago. And the […]
It’s off to work we go. It’s Thursday afternoon and I’m sitting in my office waiting for a screen capture demo for my online searching course to upload to YouTube. I kind of have a headache, and the building is shaking from all the construction work outside, but there’s no point in leaving early, because […]
We turned Sunday into a three movie day, by adding Sightseers (a pick of the day from the TIFF artistic director Cameron Bailey) to the two we already had tickets for, Disconnect and Yellow. It’s already Tuesday and I’m back in Madison, but I’m just too tired to write up these last three – it’ll […]
Friday we had an 11:00 a.m. movie and a 6:00 p.m. movie. The early one was Much Ado About Nothing, modernized, filmed in b&w at Joss Whedon’s (of Avengers & Buffy the vampire killer fame) house in 12 days. We liked it a lot. Came back to the apartment for egg sandwiches, and then Mark […]
As of Thursday, Sept. 13, we’ve been here one week. I still have that “we just got here” feeling, though. Thursday’s movies didn’t start till 3:00. We paid a visit to Bulldog for coffee, and then I came back to the apartment to work, and sent Mark off to shop. He went to the Eaton […]
Yesterday, after Detroit Unleaded, we hit up the market, and found it almost closed – understandably – it was almost 5:00 p.m. and it closes at 6:00. We got some fruit and cheese (a creamy “American” Asiago) and salad greens. We came back to the apartment, did some work, and I texted with Al & […]
We’re up to 8 movies. Sunday night, we saw a late show of At any price, a little too melodramatic, but lots of young girl screamers waiting to see Zac Efron. We came back to the apartment and ate our leftover pizza from Saturday – stayed up till 2:00 a.m. Monday was a three movie […]
Yesterday, the rainy Saturday of TIFF 2012 – Johnny Depp was in town but we didn’t see him, even though the theater where the film he supporting – West of Memphis – is probably closest to our apartment – it’s part of Ryerson University. We walked past another (probably not as huge crowd) trying to […]
I got a really funny message from my BFF, Rach, on Tuesday evening about how oh, it’s a Tuesday that feels like a Monday, and even though we had a 3 (or 4, in her case) day weekend, it wasn’t long enough. Lots of cooking fun over the holiday weekend – Baked a peach raspberry […]
