From the weekend to Wednesday

Wednesday, September 4, 2013

On Sunday morning, I got up and made cimmy buns, and then drove to Milwaukee to help John move to Chicago for grad school. After we got the truck unloaded, we went to Al & Emma’s – barely 2 blocks away – and got cleaned up and then had dinner – at 9:30 PM, at […]

Summer’s End

Saturday, August 31, 2013

Shucks, I’ve been writing this post in my head all day, and I have forgotten the good parts. It’s Saturday of Labor Day weekend, so truly the end of summer. I started the day feeling kind of melancholy and nostalgic – oh, summer’s over, back to work. The feeling was intensified because last Saturday I […]

Heat Wave

Tuesday, August 27, 2013

So it’s kind of the last weekend of summer, at least for us academic types. At work today everyone looked totally stressed. Frantically working on syllabi and uploading stuff to course websites. Updating the School’s website in time for the new semester, new students, orientation. To complement all of the above, I had a huge […]

My summer of not photographing food

Sunday, August 25, 2013

Somehow this summer I’m just not photographing and writing about food as much as some summers past – I don’t have big set of pictures for various holidays like Memorial Day* or 4th of July. It’s gotten hot again, and supposed to stay that way for a few days. I went for a walk this […]

Easy as pie

Saturday, August 24, 2013

Or maybe it’s as satisfied as pie. I’ve been feeling kind of over-tired and over-worked here at the end of my vacation week. It sure made me a lot happier to bake pie. It doesn’t really matter that the blueberry pie dripped and burned on the bottom of the oven – I can always run […]

Day 4, Vacation slash work at home week

Thursday, August 22, 2013

I think the only work work I did today was email. Tomorrow will have to be a different story. I taught the 2nd of the three cooking demos at Aprilaire I’m doing this summer – #1 was back in June, and #3 will be October. They’re a company here in Madison that makes indoor air […]

Not sure how that happened

Monday, August 19, 2013

Where I left off was Tuesday after the vegans – It was my first day back at work after Bootcamp. Catch up in the AM, then a planning retreat for a campus organization of which I am part in the PM. The lunch was boxed from Panera – I thought I was going to be […]

Happy birthday to me

Tuesday, August 13, 2013

Sunday. It was kind of a funny one. Got up, probably too early for a birthday, and did a little yoga because it was raining, so I could neither walk nor bike to the co-op for more groceries for vegan dinner part 2. I did my 15-minute Rodney Yee AM stretch, followed by a 5-minute […]

The Vegans Are Coming!

Sunday, August 11, 2013

Dave, the organizer for the Madison Vegetarian Meetup Group, proposed that we do some homey vegan dinners. The group had a dinner for 27 at School Woods like 6 years ago, and has been over for lunches and cupcakes and games & snacks more recently, but I can only seat about 30, and they are […]
