Trying to remember my week. Monday I worked at home, and spent a lot of time going back & forth between my desktop computer – for personal stuff – and my laptop – for work stuff – and being hopelessly intermingled most of the time. I took a break and did a little grocery […]
I’m in Minneapolis to take Al to probably the 2nd to last of his appointments to fill in his full sleeve. We’re staying at the Aloft Hotel again, (tho we didn’t have as magic a room no. and I couldn’t get the room heat to go on – it was 66° and dropped to 62 […]
Instead of a romantic dinner for 2, we had a family dinner – another couple, old friends, also empty nesters with grown children, and our Japanese exchange student. We ate Costco salmon with the maple syrup, soy sauce, and butter glaze that I first made by scrounging through the cabinets at our airbnb lodgings for […]

Cajun shrimp, chicken, jalapeños stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. And, while I was writing this, they just played Jerry Garcia […]
It’s -5° outside, and I am working at home, so I thought I could steal the time to start a dough for some good bread from my new Thomas Keller Bouchon Bakery book, knowing that it will be a multi-day process, with short bursts of activity. The first step was reviving my sourdough starter that’s […]
