After dinner in Cambridge, we walked around a bit and went past Thoreau’s house, and ended up back at Jane’s for a cup and tea and play with the cats. We went past this display of vintage Marrimekko, that was not really for sale – it’s like a museum exhibit. Looks like Crate & Barrel […]
Our Smithsonian friends know how to travel. We met up at the OCLC bloggers salon. The food at these things is always dependent on the catering at whatever hotel the event’s is at – this year at the Westin waterfront n Boston, there was a properly gooey Brie, and reduced balsamic vinegar, and honey and […]
On Saturday night we took a break from conferencing/touristing and went over to Cambridge to see a Madison ex-pat who’s come home to Boston to live with her aging mom. We started wandering around Harvard Square and ended up at a place called Harvest, that our local guide described as really good food but kind […]
OCLC breakfast – have to get up at 6:00 a.m. Sunday to eat it. posted from my iPhone
Well sort of. Since November, I had the last two butternut squash sitting in the basement, waiting to be cooked. I was going to peel, cube, and roast them for pizza with caramelized onions and goat cheese for a cookie party appetizer, but it seemed just too hard to deal with cubing squash while I […]
Winter Light is the title of an Oregon album that I loved in the winter of 1974-75, my first spent in Wisconsin, where the light seemed to me more beautiful than in my home town, grey and overcast Pittsburgh. In Wisconsin, I told my family, it snows, and then it clears up and gets really […]
Yesterday we decided it was probably just too stressful to watch the Packer game, so we went to a movie and let the game happen as it would. I listened to the 1st quarter on the radio, in which the Cardinals scored 17 points to the Packers zip, and the homer announcers were calling it […]
This weekend is supposed to be a somewhat cooking-free one for me. Plus I’ve been trying to clean out old stuff from closets, use up leftovers, etc. Last night (Friday) I made mulligatawny soup, from a recipe I printed out from Cooking Light years ago. I’ve let my Cooking Light subscription lapse; I wonder if […]
Last night a group of about 14 ate chicken or roasted squash & corn enchiladas, Spanish rice, salad with Cafe Flora ranch dressing, and flan, at the first winter one dish dinner for 2010. When I headed over to the house my plan was to just take iPhone pictures – but I didn’t even do […]
So I’m still not exactly sure how this works, but I like it – I type in the gallery code in the post (just gallery in square brackets), then as long as I upload the pix to the right place, the gallery appears in the post. Cool.
