Again because we were last here summer 2013. Sitting in a meeting room in Darth Vader’s living room, McCormick Place. I think I got here a little too early – this is kind of the business meeting part; real content’s not being presented for another half hour. But a Dutch librarian is about to speak […]
The football snacks have arrived. Usually it’s pictures in the Sunday paper, in the coupons, of giant football shaped layered sandwiches iced with cream cheese, football stadium-shaped appetizer trays, football shaped cheeseballs, and that type of thing. This year I got the pictures in my email from cooking.com – my favorites are the football tater […]
To Chicago twice in one week. Hit or miss – the snow and New York City. Steve & Heike came for brunch on Sunday – we had blueberry pancakes and sausages and crispy tofu (kind of like this but I do it different – maybe tofu cubes can be a post on the other blog) […]
I bought a bunch of kale last Saturday, and I’ve been making these salads to take to work for lunch. I got my knives sharpened on MLK day, and they’re working great for shredding the kale. On Wednesday, the salad had one big leaf of kale, shredded, topped with French lentils that had been […]
After a long week, that I’m now straining to remember. Pudding, lentils, and pig, were the food themes as I recall. I know I woke up in Chicago last Sunday morning – I drove down Friday to deliver John’s new laptop. Didn’t do much that evening – stopped at John’s apartment, found a parking spot […]
I was looking for a way to jeuge up my blog for the new year. I’ve been blogging since 2006, on two platforms, blogger and Word Press. My brother decided to stop blogging at a similar juncture, but in fact, he’s back. I started looking at other food blogs that I like, particularly Heidi Swanson’s […]

I think my brother is right, winter break is boring. The problem I have is that I go from being ridiculously too busy with work, and cookie season, and general holiday preparing, then the holidays are over and I get some free time, and I don’t wanna do the stuff I should do. And this […]
We had a quiet New Year’s Eve – dinner at Lombardino’s and then went to see Big Eyes. I liked it a lot – and, of course I’m the right age to remember when those big eye kid posters were EVERYWHERE – particularly my pediatrician’s office. A quiet Eve, followed by a quiet Day. I […]
