Tonight, I made two recipes from Martha. For dinner was this creamed spinach (actually mustard greens & kale, because that’s what I had) & chicken casserole with croutons on top: For Mark to take to a potluck party tomorrow, I made these snack bars; popcorn and broken pretzels glued together with caramel – and only […]

I was thinking about writing about all the haters I’ve been observing recently – it’s an election year, and the Republicans who are running are running some pretty nasty ads. My current “favorite” is the one by Scott Walker, a candidate for governor, who’s the current county supervisor for Milwaukee County, where they have the […]

So last night I think I ate too much – and this morning my stomach let me know. I was just being a teensy bit greedy – and trying to eat up leftovers. I had a grilled cheese & tomato sandwich that was on the large side – the packaged ww bread where the slices […]

In the most recent Bob Apetit, in her Cooking Life column, Molly Wizenberg was talking about how great it is (can be) to put recipes together and come up with your own. Her melding was Cafe Lago meatballs sauced with Marcella Hazan’s tomato-butter-onion sauce. I made this tomato tart today, that was a combo of […]

Not Barbara Kingsolvers newish book, that I am trying to read, but instead, a hole or gap in my day. That started with a 7:30 a.m. Co-op meeting – we looked at the audit report, which was actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. I actually wish the regular BoD meetings could be more […]

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 […]

If you consider summer to be “between the days” – memorial and labor – then yesterday was the last grill out of the summer. I ate the corn cut off the last ear on top of tabouli for lunch on Tuesday, then finished the green beans with a hard boiled egg yesterday.
