Rach and I have been talking about macaroons on our walks – among other things. She is craving to try to make the real, classic French, actually Parisian, macaroons – silky little pillows in lots of flavors, with fillings. David Lebovitz has a lengthy post and recipe about the difference between Parisian macaroons and other […]
For a lazy Tuesday evening, I made Thai red curry with tofu, sweet potato, and spinach, and ate it on the couch in front of TV with a big glass of lime water, and the repeat of Game of Thrones. The Trader Joe’s Texas-grown Basmati was all long grains that almost stood up in […]
So it’s been a not too bad Sunday, schedule wise. The theme has been using up cocktail party leftovers. Started last night, with a pasta using the rest of the bag of Costco asparagus (“responsibly grown” – I hope so – the local’s nowhere near, it’s been so cold, and the organic shipped in […]
On Tuesday, I worked at home, got out into the sunshine to walk to campus for a meeting, and the film of the day was Sister. About a 12-year-old boy and a young woman he says is his sister (later in the movie the relationship turns out to be something else). They live in […]

Joe & Terry – visiting from Seattle – and Rachael came over for dinner last night. With Mark and Kanari and me, that made six for dinner. I made a beef tenderloin – bought on a whim at Sentry last weekend, a 3-lb hunk of peeled tenderloin, at $20, seemed too good to pass up. […]
Yesterday was kind of a long day – in to work in time for a 9:00 a.m. meeting with a visiting library school professor, who has written an ebook text book that I think my school will adopt. Then a brown bag talk (recording, 1:09) with another visiting library school professor, this one a good […]
