I was worried about this bread when I took it out of the oven – it seemed spongey rather than crusty, and I was afraid, because of the hot weather, that it would be like a sour dough loaf I baked last fall, on a hot day, that came out big and overblown and white. […]
It’s still “unseasonably warm” here is WI – it was 81° today, ad it’s still in the high 60s at almost 10 p.m. In the morning, Rach and I walked, and because I thought my first advising appointment was by Skype, I figured I’d just do it at home. But when I got on and […]
Since the winter dinners at School Woods have not been selling – no winter – and because her fiancé is in town, Rach and I hijacked one of the dates, and threw a cocktail party. There was a really nice crowd, somewheres above 30 people plus a lot of little kids toddling and crawling and […]
It’s not just winter that’s been cancelled here in Wisconsin, evidently spring has been cancelled, as well. We have gone directly from mild snow-less winter to summer heat. We are in the midst what is looking like a 2-week stretch of day time high temps in the 70s and 80s, and only going into the […]
Heidi has this recipe for tapioca pudding sweetened with honey & flavored with rosewater and lemon zest & chopped pistachios on top. It’s in her 2nd book, which I have, rather than her blog, but it’s been shared around. It sounded delicious and exotic and I made it as one of the desserts at the […]
I stayed home on Friday with my cold, and interspersed bouts of working between couch time and cups of tea. I went to Walgreens and got cold medicine, and took two doses but I woke up so dehydrated on Saturday morning that I haven’t taken anymore – seems better to let the cold drain. I […]
On Thursday, I packed lunch for work, but tried to keep it light because I knew I was going to eat Indian for dinner. There was an event with pizza, though – faculty & instructors presenting descriptions of upcoming courses – and pizza was provided to get students to come. There was a lot left, […]
In the evening, I cooked Indian food for the School Woods dinner on Thursday, so we never sat down to eat. I made pasta salad, though. And some of my snacks were Indian ingredients – like raisons.
So like I said, yesterday I tried to start taking pictures of everything I eat before I eat it – with mixed success. Today, I forgot once by my work breakfast time, 11:00 a.m., and then again by dinner. Man, this is hard – I went and got a hard boiled egg for a snack […]
Here’s most of the rest of Monday’s food – Even though I had such a plethora of baked goods at home, I bought a cookie at the cafe at the Wisconsin Institutes of Discovery, where I had a meeting. It’s called Aldi’s for Aldo Leoplod. Bought a cup of coffee, too. Carried it all back […]
