It’s been an odd week, schedule-wise, and I haven’t posted anything since Monday a week ago, and now it’s Wednesday. Rach is here for an unusual Wednesday to omigod in the morning Thursday stay. Last week, Mark stayed in Chicago until Thursday, and this week he’s staying until Friday, and when he comes back he’ll […]
Mark’s in Chicago so this is one of my single girl nights. I had a big salad for dinner and ate while I watched the Wire – that is, I re-watched selections of the season four finale. The selections where I fell asleep last night. I roasted vegetables for the crazy roasted vegetable sauce. I […]
Saturday breakfast: Late summer veggies are coming in at the market – no corn yet, but broccoli, zucchini & summer squash, cherries, sun gold tomatoes. Sunday breakfast: Potato-broccoli scrambler with bacon and toast and all the fruit we bought at the market: Sunday dinner – gonna eat these Costco strawberries over vanilla ice cream, with […]
Which I’m writing about on Tuesday, for Pete’s sake – Saturday we went to the farmers market for Cows on the Concourse. Petted cows, watched grilled cheese mass production, bought the first sugarsnap peas of the season. And a bunch of flowers.

Today is over-the-hump day of my new distance graduate students’ orientation bootcamp. I’m soooo tired – although they’re all probably tireder than me. We put on an ice cream social for them – the University Housing catering service serving the University Creamery (Babcock Hall) ice cream. Other years I had catered it myself, biking to […]
On Wednesday, the Memorial Union ice cream counter finally had peach melba ice cream. I had a scoop for lunch, but then when I stopped by the store on the way home, they didn’t have any prepacked cartons that I could take home. Aw shucks. I took a regular iPhone picture, and an iPhone polaroid. […]
Or nectarine, anyways. Last night I had a Willy Street Board meeting. They gave us dinner, but I tried to eat pretty light, plus I biked a lot, so I felt justified in eating ice cream at 10:00 p.m. Sometimes in the summer, the UW creamery, Babcock Hall, makes peach Melba ice cream – peach […]
