Tuesday, we slept in a bit, then walked to the St Lawrence Market and bought eggs, butter, ham, bacon, lettuce, little tomatoes, a few more bagels, a few plums. The we came back to the apartment and had breakfast and headed off for our first movie, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her/Him. It’s kind of […]
Dave, the organizer for the Madison Vegetarian Meetup Group, proposed that we do some homey vegan dinners. The group had a dinner for 27 at School Woods like 6 years ago, and has been over for lunches and cupcakes and games & snacks more recently, but I can only seat about 30, and they are […]
Mark and his son and son’s girlfriend are off at Lollapalooza, leaving me and Rachael to have what Rach has started calling the “longest sleepover party of the summer”. I’m just trying to have some normal weekend fun before the new distance student’s bootcamp starts on Monday morning. We started with a pedi, after work […]
Welp, it’s another of those weeks, when I haven’t written from Sunday to Friday – tho I actually started this post Thursday, and I know I won’t finish it till Saturday. Cooking-wise it hasn’t been too unusual – couple of nights when I had dinner all by myself, once we went out, and Friday I […]
When my kids were little at daycare there was always PM snack – just a few bites of something, after they waked up from their naps, before their parents came to get them. I often donated boxes of graham crackers for PM snack. I guess that’s what I just ate, PM snack. Two crackers with […]
On Wednesday I made panini – pesto and roasted peppers from the freezer, smoked Gouda from Farmer John via the co-op, and Tillamook cheddar & a loaf of bread from Costco. On Thursday, Spicy beef & peppers, although my perfect Japanese rice was not perfect – it stuck to the bottom of the pan. I […]
Joe & Terry – visiting from Seattle – and Rachael came over for dinner last night. With Mark and Kanari and me, that made six for dinner. I made a beef tenderloin – bought on a whim at Sentry last weekend, a 3-lb hunk of peeled tenderloin, at $20, seemed too good to pass up. […]
Much. John’s been here since Monday night, awaiting his surgery for his new ankle. I can’t quite remember the order of everything – one night I made the kale potato gratin, and somehow we didn’t eat until 8:00. I’m sure it was a little too kale-y, greens-y for Mark. I test-drove my new mandoline, and […]
Let’s see if I can recreate – Monday was the I ♥ SLIS thing at Brocach – benefit for scholarships at the library school where I work. It got pushed back a little later in the day, so I didn’t go to my Dr.’s appointment after work (my dermatologist yearly full body scan that I […]
My tart tins from the trash heap one more time – it took soaking overnight, and scrubbing with a toothbrush to clean off the results of the quiches that leaked. Last night I made a buffet light dinner/heavy apps for a group that I’ve cooked for before. They’re all Hospice Care workers, and they’re a […]
