And it’s only Tuesday (ha, now finishing this post the following Saturday – so Jasper is now one week old!) so we can still talk about it, right? On Saturday I became a grandma. Jasper Gray Lusis arrived for Al & Emma at 1:35 am. And cookie season officially started since I baked the … [Read more…]
Well sorta. Trying. The knee is better but still stiff. It still gives the unexpected sharp pain and I’m not moving with the greatest assurance – I’m afraid it will hurt so I’m kinda awkward when I get going. I am on what seems to be strengthening exercises rather than stretching which must be a … [Read more…]
Here it is Christmas Day, very happy merry to all! and I am just now getting to the party/cookie season wrap up. [probably] Needless to say, I did not take any pictures of cookie platters when I was making them for the pandemic-style party, with people coming in shifts, all eating & drinking upstairs, cookie-box … [Read more…]
Oh, hey, hi – remember me? I’ve been not doing a lot of stuff recently … not taking pictures of cookies, not writing blog posts, not keeping track of what I’m eating and how much I’m exercising in my diet & exercise app. Some days I walk 5 miles, some days none. I have been … [Read more…]

I had a bunch of cooking plans on Xmas Eve, two pages in my little notebook. Continuing using up cookie leftovers and CSA box produce, sourdough bread plans (my sourdough has gotten way too big, BTW, even though I’ve only been feeding it half cups of flour & water. I might have to actually discard … [Read more…]
OK so, I started writing this on Saturday, when I finished grading at about 3:00PM. Yay! And am now finishing it up on Monday afternoon, after spending the day cleaning up email, finally writing that recommendation letter for the student who asked for it 2 months ago, delivering cookies, one last minute online Xmas gift … [Read more…]
And, I realize it’s incredibly privileged to be calling this pandemic year “weird”. Everyone in my family is working remotely, still getting paid, relatively safe. But in terms of cookie season in the pandemic year, it’s weird. I am vacillating between borderline depression, feeling like nothing’s coming out right, and moments of feeling happy and … [Read more…]
