This weekend my me time on Saturday morning turned into work time, so no weekend blog post. Friday morning my walk was the hellebore walk. I put the pics on Instagram and made a banner for the blog. Everyone liked the pics on Insta, but I still feel like I’m in a terribly not reflective … [Read more…]
I added a spring-y banner, hellebore that I photographed last year in late March. And we had a kind of tapas potatoes, potatoes baked in a spicy sauce, like the hot tapas patatas bravas, with baked eggs & fruit salad & bacon & sourdough toast for brunch. Now I’m going to make banana pudding, with … [Read more…]
This week is the Ides of March, feared by Caesar, I guess, but not me. On Monday I took a picture of some heart ornaments in a tree that look kind of bruised, like how all of ours feel now. It’s Phil Lesh’s & John’s birthdays. Phil is 81. Phil’s kids and extended family band, … [Read more…]
We had all round food, well, and almost round food, for brunch today. Pepper & egg fritatta, sweet potato quesadillas. And leftover sticky buns frozen since Christmas – they were the almost round. And what did we eat the rest of the week? On Monday I made turkey divan with broccoli and cheese sauce and … [Read more…]
So this week, I started writing this post before yoga same as last week, but [thankfully] did not descend into fatness crisis again and actually stuck with and enjoyed the yoga class. I got started on taxes, sort of. At Christmas I never did boxing day and cleaned up all the papers on my desk. … [Read more…]
And listening to the news. In my pajamas on a Tuesday morning at 7:20. I listened to an NPR story about a documentary about Black art. And then I watched the Jimmy Fallon interview with Shailene Woodley that I fell asleep during last night, where she confirmed her engagement to Aaron Rodgers. I decided that … [Read more…]
I didn’t even write on Sunday this week. Now it’s the Monday before Fat Tuesday, and I just got the turkey gizzards from Thanksgiving out of the freezer, for making dirty rice tomorrow, and set out milk, butter, and eggs to warm up for making a King Cake today tomorrow morning. I guess the first … [Read more…]
Here we are in the grinding down part of the winter and in the middle of a Wisconsin cold snap. I’m waiting for my second vaccine shot next week, and the impeachment of the orange insurrectionist starts today. Waiting I think is the key feeling, and lonely and stuck. I miss my kids, I miss … [Read more…]
So here we are again, another Sunday. Another week of plugged into online meetings all day – and sometimes in the evening too – and not doing much of anything creative, except maybe cooking dinner. And not taking very many pics of food or anything. Like today, I planned to make some more masks with … [Read more…]
So, I feel like I haven’t been recording the things on my blog that I normally do. I mean, in theory my tagline is “reflections on life & food”, so I like to write about what I’ve been watching and reading and cooking and eating. But it’s winter and it’s too dark to take pictures … [Read more…]
