I made pork tenderloin roasted in a salt crust. I wanted to use the leftover ball of salt & flour playdough I’d made, since I’d only needed abut half the batch of dough to sculpt my repose for the book fest. I thought I might get trouts at the farmer’s market this morning, but when […]
If you think the week starts on Sunday, then mine started back in Indianapolis. I got up and made a pot of coffee in the room, wrote a blog post, and then got packed and dressed. I checked out and put my stuff in the car, although to find the car, I had to walk […]
Last year I went to Indianapolis for the Public Library Association Conference – this year it was DPLAFest – the Digital Public Library of America. I got a university fleet car, and drove down on Friday morning. The random travel thing was at my first pit stop, I almost crashed into a guy on my […]

In pajamas making desserts until 11:00 – not so bad for good Friday/Passover/my one real day off of UW spring break! [answered one work email so far; see if I can keep it that way]. Both types of puddings say to top with pistachios – so I’ll have to chop some. We’ll see if I […]
