So my bro says he’s shutting down 327Words, but will continue his regular Thursday/Friday reports about riding with the bike gang …. I guess he’s been mirroring the two blogs for awhile, I just didn’t know because I only looked at the 327 side. He says there’s gonna be a book, but I can’t tell […]
The pictures are from brunch last Sunday, at which we had 14 people (there were supposed to be 20, but there were a few no-shows). On the way home, I realized that I was going to go right past Al & Emma’s new apartment, so they got potatoes & a few wedges of crepe cake. […]
Came home with my CSA box today. Two pounds of the large-leafed variety that Tipi Produce grows. It made almost 2 quarts of pesto – 3 pint sour cream containers, and 2 samller containers that are probably 3/4 cup each. And a sandwich. With tomato that came in the box, too.
Even though the cloud generator is using my blog’s RSS fee, it’s obviously – to my eyes, anyways – just the last 4 – 5 posts.
Tonight, to use up some of the last veggies from my CSA box, the one from two weeks ago, plus the one I got for the class last Thursday – before I get my new one tomorrow – I made Romano beans braised with tomato, and Szechwan green beans – that really messed up the […]
And shucks, I’m not one of them, by a mere 16 votes. And actually, I’m sure that I lost for two simple reasons – 1) the alphabetical order factor; and 2) not smiling in my picture. 1) Because my last name starts with “S”, in order to read my candidate statement on the co-op website […]
I was thinking that rather than feeling all bummed out and sorry for myself, like yesterday, and posting ugly food, I should resurrect a couple of pretty food pictures from the archives. So here they are: All summer-y things – the tart’s fussy, of course, it’s a Martha recipe – but I don’t make it […]
This morning, in amidst the stories about “legitimate rape” and naked congressman, there was a piece on NPR about how in WI, we’re tired and have lost our joie de vivre. Ever since the protests and recall and, for some us, especially public school teachers, the continual slow erosion of what we can and […]
Mark saw the Roy Lichtenstein retrospective at the Art Institute when he was there for Lollapalooza, and thought it was so good that I should see it too – seriously enough that he took me there for a belated birthday present. I handed in the first of the syllabi for the three courses I am […]
Last night I taught another of the use-your-whole-CSA-box cooking classes at Willy St. West, for the CSA Coalition. The box was from Tipi and it was a fun, late summer assortment. After doing these last year, we had decided that it’s be better to give the attendees the same number of recipes – 6 or […]
