I’m trying to remember what I ate for dinner my single girl nights this week. I know I was trying to just use what there was in my almost-empty fridge. Tuesday was the “Make-Hers“; Wednesday I think I had a big lunch – egg salad, a bagel, and then just some salad for dinner, with […]
In pajamas making desserts until 11:00 – not so bad for good Friday/Passover/my one real day off of UW spring break! [answered one work email so far; see if I can keep it that way]. Both types of puddings say to top with pistachios – so I’ll have to chop some. We’ll see if I […]
