What did I do all week?

Let’s see … on Sunday I baked cinnamon rolls & pecan sticky buns. And a loaf of long-rise bread that came out spongy, but good. I mis-timed the bread a little bit – I started it on Saturday around noon, so got up at about 6:30 – waaay too early for a Sunday – to  […]

Wednesday, my last day of the WI Film Fest

  On Wednesday, I was scheduled for my last Film Fest volunteer shift from noonish – 11:45 – to 4:00. I put on the work calendar that I was on vacay, but actually worked at home in the morning. Had a big bowl of cereal for breakfast, and then walked to Sundance at Hilldale. I […]

#Iworkedallweekend

I feel like I didn’t have much of a weekend, because I worked a lot. But I did some fun stuff, I guess. The theme for the weekend seems to have been feeling a bit sorry for myself, and eating too much. Ugh – good Sunday gone bad. Started with too icy to walk, steel […]

Back and forth

To Chicago twice in one week. Hit or miss – the snow and New York City. Steve & Heike came for brunch on Sunday – we had blueberry pancakes and sausages and crispy tofu (kind of like this but I do it different – maybe tofu cubes can be a post on the other blog) […]

Winding down the holidays

I think I have the Christmas blues this year. Or at least I felt blue on Christmas day – not feeling Christmas-y, regretting the presents I’d given, the foods I made. Like I didn’t make a stollen or a Danish for breakfast, and nothing flaming for dinner. We had planked salmon, and roasted vegetables: squash […]

4th of July

Is done – even the Google Doodle is back to World Cup, instead of Americana. We grilled but just for three. Brats, broccoli & potatoes, and I made a farro, herb & cucumber salad, trying to use some of the three pounds of cukes that I got in my CSA box, and the slightly browning […]

How did that happen?

  Got home from work pretty hungry and had what seemed like a perfectly reasonable snack – a toasted slice from the loaf of long rise white I made a few days ago, with a little blue cheese on one end and a little goat cheese on the other, with a few sun-dried tomatoes. I […]

#winterblahs

I’m trying to recreate the last week (since I haven’t written since last Tuesday). On Monday, I think I had a pretty normal work day, except that I went to hear one of my colleagues give a talk at the library about a conference she’d been invited to speak at, and didn’t eat anything until […]

Thursday night class

Last night I taught another of the use-your-whole-CSA-box cooking classes at Willy St. West, for the CSA Coalition. The box was from Tipi and it was a fun, late summer assortment. After doing these last year, we had decided that it’s be better to give the attendees the same number of recipes – 6 or […]
