Leftover greens & mashed potatoes So, I was out on Monday for Al’s move job, then yesterday I had to leave early to chauffeur Mark to his colonoscopy (pretty awful, but so funny to see non-drinking Mark drunk on the anesthetic) – and I think I must be on something like 9,000 committees. So, work […]
On Sunday I rode the megabus up to Minneapolis so that today I could drive this 10-foot UHaul with Al’s stuff in it back to Madison. It was a lot easier than I had worried it was going to be; none of the things I fretted about came to pass: there was a truck when […]
Various weeknight cooking – sandwiches & roasted veg on Tuesday, kale salad for a potluck with the neighbors on Wednesday. And come to think of it, it’s my mother’s 87th birthday, so no wonder I made kale, she would’ve loved it.
I’ve been needing new glasses – I have so much astigmatism, when my glasses get bent they don’t work anymore. The girlfriend of one of the co-op board members came into the after-party at the bar yesterday evening wearing these totally cool glasses with orange frames. My board colleague said she got them from […]
Today was the annual grocery Co-op Board retreat. This must be the 5th or 6th of these that I’ve gone to, since I started on the Board 6+ years ago, it’ll be 7 in August. This one was a good one, though – we signed up for a board development program, that costs about $5,000 […]
On Monday, Mark took us girls (me and our exchange student) out for dinner for valentine’s day. It was the first Monday our local & organic Italian place was open – after years of being closed on Monday nights. It was my first day back at work with my broken toe. I gimped to the […]
Yesterday I broke the baby toe on my right foot – I’m getting so old & brittle, just clonking it into the wooden leg of a couch did the trick. It hurt, but I didn’t think much about it, until I took my socks off around 4:00, getting ready for a shower, and saw how […]
On Friday morning I woke up with a sinus headache, so I was glad when my walking partner had forgotten our date, and wasn’t really ready to go. I thought about going back home and getting back in bed, but instead I walked downtown through light snow, almost ice pellets, and got my work laptop, […]
I guest chef-ed for Slow Food UW on Monday night. Like I said, we did all the cooking Sunday afternoon. We made Unky Dave’s potato salad – 20 pounds of little yellow potatoes from Matt Smith, 10 pounds of sweet potatoes from Don’s Produce, 5 pounds of Tipi Produce carrots and a big bag of […]
It was another different kind of Superbowl day, a little like 2010, when I did something non-Superbowl related all day – in 2010, Willy Street Board Retreat; this year cooking in the church basement for slow food UW. I also didn’t care much about the teams involved, unlike last year where it was my home […]
