Somehow, I ended up with way too much sour cream in the fridge – I think the chain of events started with buying Costco lettuce for the brunch last Sunday, a.k.a. more than I needed, so I served salad at the dinner last Tuesday, instead of spinach dip, and because I had a coupon, I […]
Earlier this week, while I was at my day job, but thinking about serving dinner that night, I got this message about Vicky & Lysander’s month-long dinner party, at a store front gallery in New York. It’s dinner for 12, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the month of March – sitting in the […]
Last week, in addition to my brother’s weekly post about the hijinks (in their own words “Bikes, beer can baseball with a U lock, random nutsacking, free beer, another perfect night.”) he and his bike gang get up to every Thursday night, my brother wrote about FHR – the Fucking Hills Race, a Sunday afternoon, […]
Brunch for 20, people who work at, or used to work at, Madison’s Community Pharmacy. The brunch was a retirement party for one of them, who is working on a history of the pharmacy – so the stories I got to overhear were great. Recollections of old blue laws from the 1970s in WI, when […]
Tired of the Olympics, tired of being too busy at work, tired of being tired. Not tired of winter yet – I still like the snow. We had few nights this week where we got an inch plus, and last night just a dust – made it pretty in the morning. My brother wrote a […]
Sunday the vegetarian meet up group met for vegan cupcakes and board games at School Woods. I used a couple of recipes from the Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World girls, Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. In Veganomicon, they have a caramel apple recipe that I was quite taken with – it has […]
Last night after I finished frosting the vegan cupcakes, I went to a substance-free, family friendly, dance party benefit for Haiti, because one of the organizers is one of my dining club regulars. She’s one of the nicest people you could ever meet, and she has a cute toddler daughter, Charlie. I think Charlie has […]
The sky was lavender when I walked home last night, no joke. Lovely but somehow it feels a little too springlike for February in WI. posted from my iPhone
So here’s the hole in the ceiling: So I dunno – there’s still a large contigent lobbying me that I need a whole new one. I’m being pulled in two directions – the carpenter says patch – and it could even be real plaster put on by this cool old school lesbian plasterer I met […]
Or in British, oh bugger. Or maybe bugger, bugger, bugger. The sink in the upstairs bathroom at the dining club has been secretly leaking into the floor and ceiling. The plumber – and Mark who is ever the optimist, so really scarey to hear it from him – say I am going to need a […]
