So this has been a week of not very much cooking, although of course we ate. I had been in Chicago over the weekend and I thawed out some enchilada casserole with ground turkey and black beans, in case Belana & Mark might eat it while I was gone. Which of course they didn’t, so … [Read more…]
It could’ve been foreshadowing of what was to come in my yoga class, where of course the teacher was going to talk about well being. Or it could’ve been the weather – which is back to “normal” for late February in Wisconsin, cold, snowy, sunny. Or maybe because I was happily thinking that plans I’d … [Read more…]
I looked at Lottie & Doof the other day, and Tim called his catch-up post “Digest: recipe name and recipe name”. I was thinking more of a slideshow, except I didn’t take very good pictures of the weekend’s food enterprises, tacos with pulled pork and corn salsa, and Blueberry Muffins. And, oh yea, I froze … [Read more…]
… is kind of my new phrase, when stuff goes awry, when I’ve had just about enough, with apologies to all the Pete’s I know, although I think at least one of them would like being the epigram of gone awry. As in, “Oh for Pete’s sake”, I have been trying to write this thing … [Read more…]
I’m a little unhappy with my post about last weekend, our crazy Chicago to Madison to Chicago weekend for two graduations. I feel like I reported, but didn’t really express everything I was thinking and feeling. This is a tiny bit due to my desire to protect the names of the individuals involved, but primarily, … [Read more…]
Guacamole made with early spring ingredients from the Farmer’s Market – a couple of hydroponic or hoop house tomatoes, and green garlic, along with lemons and limes and avocados from warmer places then WI (probably California or Mexico. I wonder if they’ll let produce through Trump’s wall?) We filled up on guacamole & chips, so … [Read more…]
Going to try to do the whole thing in one post, except for the Sunday of the Fest – that’s its own story. For me, the film fest started on Thursday, although I’d been to two volunteer trainings already. I worked at home, and took a break to go out to airport, and pick up … [Read more…]
Wait that’s a song …. But could insert overworked and underpaid, stupid busy, or any number of other clichés. Including spring ahead – the time change everyone hates (well, except Mark – he likes that it stays light later in the day, but I miss the light in the morning) that I am suffering the … [Read more…]
Unwritten anyways. I’m doing one of my back and forth weeks, down to Chicago on Tuesday, back to Madison Wednesday morning, and now back to Chicago Friday. The weather’s been back and forth-y, too. It was winter over the weekend, for Valentine’s Day, which was a Sunday. The day before was probably the coldest of … [Read more…]
… nor blogging. Monday (and that would be Monday a week ago, by the time this was written) I got home on the late side, and ate the last couple of leafs of spinach, almonds, and dried cranberries from the soup dinner salad, sautéed with some of the leftover farro salad, that I made with … [Read more…]
