Tonight is the eve of the annual REAP Pie Palooza. My pies are baked – Greens and Fennel Pie, from The new vegetarian epicure, 8 rectangular ones, that I can’t decide whether to cut into 6 or 8 pieces each. Baked in Janie’s prep bakery – a converted store front on Williamson Street – now […]

I don’t think I’ve quite recovered from the election yet; I still have that frustrated and baffled and angry feeling, like when I was a kid and was trying to explain something to my parents, and they just. did. not. get. it. Like the guy I heard on the radio saying, in advance of the […]
So this is the year I didn’t carve a pumpkin. I bought two at the Wednesday farmers market. This morning I noticed that one of them – the $2.25 one that leaned back a little too much – had a few spots on it. I took it over to the other house for Halloween lunch […]
I joined a virtual cooking club for Dorrie Greenspan’s Around my French Table – French Fridays with Dorrie. The recipe for this week – October 29 – was Marie-Helene’s apple cake. I made two of them for a Saturday morning brunch, for a 30th wedding anniversary. My cakes were a little too thin, because I […]
It’s been all about using up whatever’s in the fridge, since I got back from Pittsburgh on Sunday. On Sunday, I made a pasta with roasted vegetables, and a plum tart – used up that pack of RP’s pumpkin tortellini, and the leftover salad greens from School Woods birthday, and the bulb part of 2 […]

Saturday morning I got up in my hotel in downtown Pittsburgh (formerly the Hilton, now … who knows …), and went and retrieved the car from the self-park, to start my day of uncovering the mysteries of Pittsburgh. I lost my ticket, but the maximum was $20 and I was going to have to pay […]

I skipped the conference lunch and went and got a Primanti Bros. sandwich and ate it outside in market square, with a cup of Starbucks coffee in my own to-go mug. Surely the ultimate Pittsburgh meal. All for about $7. I got cheese, what they call combo – Swiss and Provolone, and there was a […]

So, like I said, I’m at a metadata conference, and the picture below is kind of a metadata conundrum. Metadata is descriptions of information resources – “structured data about data”. The picture is actually a lot of different things, many of which are hard to convey, especially because one of the key interpreters of metadata […]
