Or at least, thing by thing. For our Dutch exchange student, this was the weekend of the senior prom. For me it was mother’s day, and a brunch at School Woods. On Saturday, I got up and went to the Farmers’ Market on my own for serious shopping – potatoes, cheese, green onions, asparagus, eggs, [...]
Mark’s out for a walk, and Al is at work, so Joëlle & I had creamed spinach and leftover rice for dinner. The rice was cooked in coconut milk and homemade veggie broth – I made it to go with the Thai vegetable curry a few nights ago. I went to the doc this afternoon [...]
It was another different kind of Superbowl day, a little like 2010, when I did something non-Superbowl related all day – in 2010, Willy Street Board Retreat; this year cooking in the church basement for slow food UW. I also didn’t care much about the teams involved, unlike last year where it was my home [...]
Looks like my Johnny Depp tag is getting too small, so thought I better do a Johnny post. I am allowed to think Johnny’s cute, because he looks like my older son. I am looking forward to the movie version of Dark Shadows. The original was on afternoon TV when I was in grade school. [...]
Tuesday was ruggelach night. Well, I glazed the rainbow cookies with chocolate, and cut them up, and I made the windmill dough logs and chilled them to be sliced & baked, but mostly it was all ruggelach, all the time, 6:00 – 11:00. I got a new, giant Tupperware from the nearby hardware store that [...]
On the last night of the conference, Tuesday, they put on a big event for us at Navy Pier with a blues band, cash bar – but we got two drink tickets at registration – and lots of food. Plus silly games like bumper car bikes, and balloon animals. And, this time I got back [...]
…. must have been a busy week, since I have not written since last Friday. We’re into the grinding down part of the winter, we had rain and fog, and now it’s really cold, that cheery sun actually indicating that’s it’s clear enough to be cold. And because of the rain, we lost a lot [...]
Yesterday we decided it was probably just too stressful to watch the Packer game, so we went to a movie and let the game happen as it would. I listened to the 1st quarter on the radio, in which the Cardinals scored 17 points to the Packers zip, and the homer announcers were calling it [...]
So I’m still not exactly sure how this works, but I like it – I type in the gallery code in the post (just gallery in square brackets), then as long as I upload the pix to the right place, the gallery appears in the post. Cool.
So all the weather guys are talking about how the whole world’s in the deep freeze – even Letterman just made a joke about how they should let Rush Limbaugh out of the hospital because we could use the hot air. I made fried rice for dinner – looks like I posted my recipe a [...]
