Dec. 28th, 2012 is my Dad’s 92nd birthday. We didn’t do anything particularly special in his honor, but I remembered him a lot. In the morning, I worked on the two online courses that I’ll be teaching in the spring semester – classes don’t start until Jan. 22, but I have to have my syllabi […]
I literally sorted and boxed up the excess papers on my desk – the piles had gotten really embarrassing, sliding off and messy. Our recycle bins are too full, post-party and post-blizzard, though, so the box of old papers is going to have to wait until the next pickup, after the one tomorrow, it’s […]
Was a large scale mess. I tried to make eggs Benedict with real Hollandaise – I used to make a batch of Hollandaise with 36 eggs and 6 pounds of butter on Sunday mornings at 6:00 a.m. when I opened for brunch at Ovens East – but the memory of doing that was not helpful […]

Here’s a quick gallery of some of the cookie shots I have not posted since last Tuesday. The party was last night. I’ll tell you all about it Real Soon Now™ Gotta go start stuffing cookies into ziploc bags for shipping.
I was in an all-chocolate mode – chocolate spritz and world peace, but somehow it just wasn’t a good night. I didn’t feel so good, and got a bit of late start because I went out Waisman’s to pick up our pork. David & Molly & their kids raised two pigs, Mazel and Tov, and […]
The spoon cookie heartbreak (and my day job) meant that the little spoons were my only cookie kind of Thursday. On Friday we went to Chicago for a whirlwind weekend – good deal on a Kimpton Hotel, dinner at the Publican, and Trombone Shorty at Park West. The country ribs, basically a pork chop, were […]
