My tart tins from the trash heap one more time – it took soaking overnight, and scrubbing with a toothbrush to clean off the results of the quiches that leaked. Last night I made a buffet light dinner/heavy apps for a group that I’ve cooked for before. They’re all Hospice Care workers, and they’re a […]
Here’s a cake shot [not cheese].
With all my cooking assignments? The potato rolls turned into a potato focaccia, mostly white but with a little rye flour. Good for toast and sandwiches. I made the pork pies – got 12 little pies, and meant to photograph them yesterday while it was light – that went the way of all good intentions. […]
So, now that the election’s over, it’s back to life as usual, right? It’s been a lost week for me, 26 student advising appointments at work, election day as a poll worker, and a cold … or maybe it’s strep. I do have a stuff to cook list again, not in my phone, but in […]
Click the map for what I did when I got home from working the polls – we registered 516 voters at my polling place! And almost 2500 voters all day.
… or haste makes waste, or I’m just getting more absent minded the older I get – pick your favorite cliché. On Tuesday (second to last day of October) I had to be at work until about 8:30 at night, so I didn’t go in to the office until about noon. I got about 3 […]
I’m putting the finishing touches on this post on Halloween Wednesday, and I still am not quite recovered. When we got back from the librarian’s conference on Thursday, I baked a giant chocolate cake for Susan’s Dad’s 90th. I decided to substitute 7-minute frosting for the whipped cream filling – that’s the kind that’s whipped […]
Not sure if it actually is, but that’s what Meredith said yesterday when we were driving here. “Here” is LaCrosse WI and the conference is the Wisconsin Library Association. The library school does a booth, we’re doing resume reviews, and all the usual networking, schmoozing, recruiting – I’m not presenting at this one, though. There […]
October 22 is School Woods official birthday – at least it’s the date of the very first dinner I put on there in 2006. For School Woods 6th, I put on a Sunday Supper. Fifteen diners, and a lovely time had by all. I think I liked the chicken filo rolls better than the veg […]
We’re at the Isthmus Food & Wine Show – so far we’ve tried the AJ Bombers slider version of their special Madison burger, that comes on Stella’s spicy cheese bread with fried pickles, Graze potato gnocchi with sweet potatoes & tiny Brussels sprouts, Willy St Co-op s’more cupcake, sassy cow ice cream, and we split […]
