This week I have been lazily posting to tumblr and Twitter and scanting the blog.
Rach got here Sunday – I made pie. On Monday, I had an evening class, where some f the students were logging in remotely and the rest were in the room with me, which made it a 12-hour day, so I had pie again when I got home.
On Tuesday we had a big salad supper, with chicken salad, white meat chicken with dried cranberries and toasted pecans, and broccoli salad and eggs and cucumbers and greens and tomatoes. Rach took some for lunch on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Carol was supposed to come for dinner, we’re hoping to get together more now; but she had a sick dog. That meant dinner was just me, Mark and Rachel. I made a steak and edamame and zucchini and gluten-free noodle thing that I think would be good cold, but no one’s tried it that way yet. And a peanut slaw, that I bet is not so good anymore, aftre two days in the fridge, the cabbage already seemed a little sulphur-y when it was first cut. For dessert, flan, or crême carmel, six, in individuals. The three of us split one Weds., and I ate one last night, so there are four left.
Thursday night was the Willy St. Co-op annual meeting & party – 4,000 people in a parking lot, and latched onto La fete de Marquette, so bands too. I was a “trash-talker”, manning a compost station telling people which bin for their discards. I never got dinner, but in all my years of going to the co-op meeting I have never actually eaten the dinner – it’s too busy, too crazy. And – this is Wisconsin – it’s easier to get a beer than it is to get any other kind of drink or food. So I used up my beer tickets, and biked home and had a chicken salad sandwich, a big glass of tea-lemonade, and the flan.
Today, since I’m working at home, I got to have a bowl of corn chex with peaches for breakfast – mostly skim milk, but I drizzled in maybe 1/2 a TBLS heavy cream – yum. No pictures – I ate it too fast.
