Most of last week it was still May so we could be in denial. And it’s still been stormy, albeit with nice days alternated in. Like last Wednesday when Jasper came and the sky was bright blue. We also worked out a new yogurt-eating method. The week before he wasn’t interested in anything off a … [Read more…]
I’ve been thinking about bread a lot recently. For what might be my 1st recipe-a-month, I made bread. Crescent rolls. Al said they made poppin’ dough crescents and Jasper liked them, so I thought I’d try to make a homemade version. Plus we were having leftover chicken divan and I wanted a side bread that … [Read more…]
Weird winter weather continues. Last Thursday, after the temps had been in the 50s, in other words, completely unseasonable for February, we got rain and wind in Madison and a tornado to the southeast. One of the tornadoes touched down maybe a 10 minute drive from my CSA farm. I emailed them and they said … [Read more…]
The saga of my knee continues. I think I told you that the last time I went to PT, the therapist confirmed that the orthotics (prescribed by the 1st PT who was a maternity leave fill-in) didn’t seem to be helping, and I should send them back to get adjusted, and stop wearing them until … [Read more…]

Quite a few things turned out nicely this weekend. Here they are: First, sourdough ginger cookies, from this Food & Wine recipe, baked on Friday and bagged up to distribute at Grillin’ for Peace, the Savory Sunday benefit. They have no white flour; instead, they’re composed of spelt, rye, and buckwheat. I also made some … [Read more…]
Sunday morning (oh, that’s a song) I decided the best way to de-stress was to NOT try to walk or go out & exercise before brunch. Carl & Susan are coming over – oldsters like us, and fully vaxed – and I’m making a pretty simple menu** that gets done à la minute, except for … [Read more…]
So I listened to a bit of NPR’s special coverage of Trump announcing Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the supreme court, and then I google’d how bad could amy coney barret really be, and found these things. The first one is my hope, that someone who is a judge, and invested in the law, will … [Read more…]
Cook a lot and eat a lot Walk a lot, and wear a mask when you go in places Think very hard about other creative projects and do them sometimes. Once in awhile get rid of old junk. These ladders belonged to John & Al’s dad, Jeff. I kind of inherited them when … [Read more…]
