Friday was shopping and baking, Saturday was baking and party, yesterday we lazed around and recovered. I made some pizza crusts and we made a few nice little pizzas – potato & garlic, roasted broccoli and red pepper with goat cheese that Lea’s daughter Liz made, tomato sauce, green olives, diced tomato and lotsa mozzarella, […]
On Saturday morning I laid out all the pies on the counter at the neighbor’s house where I’d been baking for their group shot. Dave & Jen are house- and puppy-sitting, so I got to bake on the Viking range at the neighbor’s. Around 4:00 we crammed everything into the car and headed for the […]
So I’m stuck in the Denver airport on my way to my brother’s in Seattle. The wifi’s good, but I don’t wanna work anymore. I posted all my internship students’ placement sites in the online course from the bar, but I am not going to read any of their submission now – sorry. It’s almost […]
I just don’t think I’ll ever catch up, and this being perpetually sick stuff doesn’t help either. I finished grading Monday at about 5:30, came home and made some dinner, and mostly laid around. Watched the Game of Thrones I’d been too sleepy to really see on Sunday. And then this morning at 7:00 a.m. […]

Or at least, thing by thing. For our Dutch exchange student, this was the weekend of the senior prom. For me it was mother’s day, and a brunch at School Woods. On Saturday, I got up and went to the Farmers’ Market on my own for serious shopping – potatoes, cheese, green onions, asparagus, eggs, […]
Email catch-up at home, going to work late, and I still didn’t pay bills ….
Mark’s out for a walk, and Al is at work, so Joëlle & I had creamed spinach and leftover rice for dinner. The rice was cooked in coconut milk and homemade veggie broth – I made it to go with the Thai vegetable curry a few nights ago. I went to the doc this afternoon […]
I think it must be rhubarb custard tart. The first time I tried to make one, I left out the sugar in the filling, and it didn’t brown. Tonight I remembered the sugar, but the case leaked, and since I had the flan ring on parchment on a dark colored pan – one I normally use […]
