With all my cooking assignments? The potato rolls turned into a potato focaccia, mostly white but with a little rye flour. Good for toast and sandwiches. I made the pork pies – got 12 little pies, and meant to photograph them yesterday while it was light – that went the way of all good intentions. […]
October 22 is School Woods official birthday – at least it’s the date of the very first dinner I put on there in 2006. For School Woods 6th, I put on a Sunday Supper. Fifteen diners, and a lovely time had by all. I think I liked the chicken filo rolls better than the veg […]
Well, I started this post yesterday evening, when Mark & I were sitting at the Sundance theater, waiting for Mary Poppins to start. They’re doing a series of classics, besides Mary, Gone with the Wind; 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea; Young Frankenstein, etc. Mark’s ex-wife and her guy were there, too, which was sort embarrassing […]
Back in February, I did a Slow Food UW Family Dinner Night (looks like it was the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday). It was fun, and I wanted to do it again, and got scheduled to cook last night, October 1. It was the same routine: shop at the market Saturday, prep on Sunday afternoon, […]
Yesterday, the rainy Saturday of TIFF 2012 – Johnny Depp was in town but we didn’t see him, even though the theater where the film he supporting – West of Memphis – is probably closest to our apartment – it’s part of Ryerson University. We walked past another (probably not as huge crowd) trying to […]
The pictures are from brunch last Sunday, at which we had 14 people (there were supposed to be 20, but there were a few no-shows). On the way home, I realized that I was going to go right past Al & Emma’s new apartment, so they got potatoes & a few wedges of crepe cake. […]
So, I came home from work on Monday and started cooking to use up stuff from my CSA box and Farmers’ Market. On Sunday, Mark and I went to his work’s (WiLS) 40th anniversary picnic. We took corn on the cob, grilled, with cilantro lime butter for smearing, and the nun’s cookies – a kind […]
Last night we just hung around and watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony. My favorite Olympic image is the rings hanging down from Tower Bridge; I have it as wallpaper in my phone. But it wasn’t part of the spectacle. Mark got Pasquals; I made myself a cutting board of bread and cheese and tomatoes and […]
Library conference all day, then dinner – for restaurant week – at DeBroux’s Diner in Oregon WI.
On Tuesday, my friend and neighbor Ann had sort of a repeat of the dinner I made for her last Wednesday – about 20 people, I made a bunch of salads, and desserts, and she grilled brats. This time, they had: potato salad – a really nice one; little yellow potatoes from the farmers market, […]
