We’re in Duluth/Superior for a librarians conference, the Lake Superior Libraries Symposium, held Friday June 1. It was the first one and it was a pretty good library conference. Some good sessions, good keynoter, and ubiquitous wifi because it was held at a Community College. And that also meant that there was a never ending […]
Still trying to use up the asparagus that Molly & David brought us, last night I made asparagus pizza. I used my variant of the Big Sur Bakery crust – their proportions, 1 1/2 cups water, tsp. yeast, big pinch of salt, to 3+ cups of flour – but I add a little bit of […]
On Thursday, I packed lunch for work, but tried to keep it light because I knew I was going to eat Indian for dinner. There was an event with pizza, though – faculty & instructors presenting descriptions of upcoming courses – and pizza was provided to get students to come. There was a lot left, […]

On Friday morning I woke up with a sinus headache, so I was glad when my walking partner had forgotten our date, and wasn’t really ready to go. I thought about going back home and getting back in bed, but instead I walked downtown through light snow, almost ice pellets, and got my work laptop, […]

Mark’s dad died last Friday, and we got back from the funeral in North Carolina at about 10:00 p.m. last night. That’s why I was writing and obliterating my leek tart post in the Orlando airport on Sunday – we were on our way to NC. Had to get up at 3:45 a.m. on Sunday […]

The fresh tomato was extra thin crusts, topped with Roma tomatoes I bought at the Wednesday farmers market and brought home on my bike, skinned and chopped and marinated with olive oil and 3 cloves of garlic overnight. I […]

Wednesday night I celebrated Rosh Hashanah by grilling pork. I was so encouraged by the success of Monday’s slow-roasted meat that I did almost 6 pounds of Willow Creek pork shoulder, with the same chile rub, so that I’d have pulled pork for pulled pork pizza tomorrow. Pizza night was fun – 12 people, a […]
… just too short. I had 4 days of actual vacation this weekend. I only answered a few work emails. And I even took some pictures of food. I knew it had been awhile because when I opened the images in Photoshop, the most recent on the card before this weekend were dated July 26. […]
On Friday, I served up the second in the summer supper series. The theme was roasted vegetables. I roasted summer squash, peppers, and cherry tomatoes (adding, to the tomatoes, lots of garlic, and crumbled oregano dried from a bunch of fresh that came in my CSA box in May or June) and put them on […]
