Picture my food – day 4

On Thursday, I packed lunch for work, but tried to keep it light because I knew I was going to eat Indian for dinner. There was an event with pizza, though – faculty & instructors presenting descriptions of upcoming courses – and pizza was provided to get students to come. There was a lot left, […]

Picture my food – day 3

In the evening, I cooked Indian food for the School Woods dinner on Thursday, so we never sat down to eat. I made pasta salad, though. And some of my snacks were Indian ingredients – like raisons.

Picture my food – Day 2

So like I said, yesterday I tried to start taking pictures of everything I eat before I eat it – with mixed success. Today, I forgot once by my work breakfast time, 11:00 a.m., and then again by dinner. Man, this is hard – I went and got a hard boiled egg for a snack […]

The rest of Monday

Here’s most of the rest of Monday’s food – Even though I had such a plethora of baked goods at home, I bought a cookie at the cafe at the Wisconsin Institutes of Discovery, where I had a meeting. It’s called Aldi’s for Aldo Leoplod. Bought a cup of coffee, too. Carried it all back […]

Kind of a funny week –

At least, cooking and foodwise. I was in Minneapolis on Sunday & Monday, so it was road food then. I took plastic containers of yogurt & granola, and a banana & an apple for the bus, and filled my to-go cup with coffee. The refill coffee that I bought at the Pilot truck stop on […]

Cuban sandwiches & roasted veg & kale salad

Various weeknight cooking – sandwiches & roasted veg on Tuesday, kale salad for a potluck with the neighbors on Wednesday.  And come to think of it, it’s my mother’s 87th birthday, so no wonder I made kale, she would’ve loved it.

Family Dinner Night

I guest chef-ed for Slow Food UW on Monday night. Like I said, we did all the cooking Sunday afternoon. We made Unky Dave’s potato salad – 20 pounds of little yellow potatoes from Matt Smith, 10 pounds of sweet potatoes from Don’s Produce, 5 pounds of Tipi Produce carrots and a big bag of […]

Saturday afternoon

I’m making the vegetable pie on the cover of the January Bon Apetit, with modifications, chiefly I’m leaving out the eggplant & fennel because those aren’t vegetables I generally have on hand in January. I’ve got roasted tomatoes & red bell pepper from the freezer. I’ve got sweet potato from the indoor farmers market today. […]

And then on Tuesday

I was kind of a couch potato, again – but maybe a little more productive than Monday – baked the rye bread for the soup dinner Thursday. Which served nicely as my excuse for hanging on the couch, waiting for it to rise, and then bake. I realized in the morning that there was a […]

On a Monday night

One deserves such things, right? I worked until 5:30, then took the bus instead of walking. I didn’t do a yoga DVD. I made myself a nice little dinner – the last of the mushroom soup from last week (tho I only ate a few spoons, seemed to have lost its appeal – the mushroom […]
