Monday, June 29, 2015

Saturday through Monday – coffee, a few breakfasts, gay pride and the Dead. And corn salad for Monday dinner, with grilled oysters and clam chowder (not shown).

Pie palooza weekend

Sunday, November 2, 2014

On Thursday night, I carved my pumpkin, and went to bed a little early. On Friday morning, it snowed (just a little). On Saturday, I had leftover twice-baked potatoes, refried with an egg on it,for breakfast. Then I baked my pie palooza pies. Cheese and onion, again. Thank you Rutles, for the inspiration. It seemed […]

Still winter on Monday morning

Monday, February 10, 2014

  This morning I walked to work in -10° marveling at people’s preparedness and UN-preparedness for the weather, like the kid on a bike with nothing on his head, hat nor helmet; the guy running from the bus into the engineering building wearing a pea coat, and no hat or gloves; the 3 inches of […]

TIFF Monday

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

I’m going kind of a day behind on these – now writing this post on Tuesday AM, on my iPhone, still in bed at 8:03, tho I could argue that it’s only 7:03 at home in Central time. [at least started; gonna move over to the “real” computer to do the pics] On Monday, we […]

Graduation weekend

  It was a weekend of graduations. On Saturday, I made a dinner for my upstairs renter at the supper club house, who got her PhD in a convocation Friday evening. The menu was: light apps – goat cheese, red pepper, olive & pesto torta, with long rise baguettes, and crackers and peppadews; salami; nuts […]

Last library conference of the season?

Thursday, October 25, 2012

Not sure if it actually is, but that’s what Meredith said yesterday when we were driving here. “Here” is LaCrosse WI and the conference is the Wisconsin Library Association. The library school does a booth, we’re doing resume reviews, and all the usual networking, schmoozing, recruiting – I’m not presenting at this one, though. There […]

With the librarians in Columbus OH

Saturday, October 6, 2012

I started writing this sitting in my third presentation session at the 2012 LITA Forum (library conference). But that program was pretty interesting so I stopped. Now, on the other hand, I am watching an earnest librarian showing us her slides in the presenter mode. She did just say “I know this is kind of […]

All before 8:00 a.m.

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

One of “those” mornings …. I made chicken broth the night before and had to strain it, so greasy messy stuff with cats nosing in for droppings. While wiping off the stovetop I knocked over my little espresso pot, double disaster – not only did it send a flood of coffee down the hard to […]

That was the week that wasn’t

Friday, July 13, 2012

Wasn’t much for  blogging, though I certainly did cook and eat. On Wednesday, I did a small private dinner – that’s what the tomato tarts were for. It was a nice group. A woman I know through work organized it – she works with instructional technology on campus.  It was her and her girlfriend, and […]
