Monday I think I just came home after work (must’ve, because I was writing about the Packers), but Tuesday I went to yoga. Wednesday we had an outing to Milwaukee to see a photography exhibition, and hear Alec Soth. The show was good, portraits from the Haggerty Museum’s collections, Soth was a good speaker, and […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the Green Bay Packers in the Superbowl. As something of a non-football-fan, those are my two favorite NFL teams. I like the Steelers because I’m from Pittsburgh, my Dad was a fan, and my mom grew to be a fan in her old age. My brother is a devoted Steelers […]
Every so often I start feeling a little guilty because I do all my cooking for the dining club, and make my family eat leftovers. Not too terribly guilty because the leftovers are pretty damn high quality, but still a twinge or two. So today I made cinnamon rolls just for us, and we ate […]

I don’t charge for kids under 12, but last Thursday we had ten kids at dinner – and the platters of food were almost licked clean. There was a little dessert leftover, brownies & blondies, and I *think* everyone went home full – at least I hope so. There were 14 adults. I made chicken […]

On Tuesday, a.k.a. day after MLK day, and the first day of classes, I was feeling pretty cold-ed, so I worked from home – especially easy since I am teaching online only this semester. The opportunity to work in pjs and slippers was too good to pass up. I scrounged up breakfast again, this time […]

Sunday I made brunch for a group of Hospice Care workers – it was their holiday party. I’d put on a baby shower for this group in the spring, and they’re really fun – completely unflappable. This time, they ate spinach quiche and ham quiche – the base of the filling for the spinach was […]

Yesterday I ate a really good [second] breakfast, by using up odds ends from the fridge. I fried an egg, and spooned the last bit of salsa that Al had left in the Mrs. Renfro jar over it. I toasted an English muffin, and lay a few thin pieces sliced off the end of the […]

I had walked up to Balboa Park using the Google directions, and that sent me past a community college AND a big high school, at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Just as I was starting to hate all teenagers, and thinking that we should really do as the Brits do (the ones that can afford […]
Saturday night was our big night out for dinner with librarian friends. I chose the restaurant – Bice – and mostly it was a good choice. I didn’t like my salad all that much – it was a chopped salad, a pile of dressed, chopped vegetables, with a few cherry tomato halves and shaves of […]
