Advising week this year – which was last week already – at the library school probably wasn’t as busy as some. I had about 17 30-minute student appointments and last spring it was 21. I think I had more other meetings in between and all around the student appointments this year, though. I’m feeling uninspired […]
I think this was my weekend of taking in strays, or being a good Samaritan, or something like that. On Friday, I worked at home, and Mark got back from his Door County vacation. We had chips (leftover from new students orientation at library school) and fresh salsa and corn pudding for dinner. I made […]
Mark’s out for a walk, and Al is at work, so Joëlle & I had creamed spinach and leftover rice for dinner. The rice was cooked in coconut milk and homemade veggie broth – I made it to go with the Thai vegetable curry a few nights ago. I went to the doc this afternoon […]
When we go out for Thai, if I don’t get tofu pad thai, I always like the curry that is red curry sauce with a little peanut sauce mixed in, too. At the place we usually go to, it’s #42 on the menu, “Pa-Naeng – curry sauce mixed with peanut sauce, zucchini, green peas, carrot. […]
The head chef at the co-op went all out to create an upscale vegan dinner for us: Himalayan red rice, with a squash and coconut milk stew to ladle over; red peppers stuffed with walnuts, corn, and I think a soy product; and a spinach salad with roasted tomatoes, portobello mushrooms and a basil balsamic […]
Used up the patty pan squash and spinach from my veggie box. This is the type of recipe where you’re supposed to mix Thai curry paste – that you’ve either prepared yourself, or, like I did tonight, spooned out of a jar – with canned coconut milk to make the sauce, then add meat or […]
There was this container of cooked brown rice sitting in the fridge forever, and I was itching to use it up. I tried on a few tentative plans for it for size, but they were all falling into the category of when you buy $20 of additional ingredients to use up 97 cents of leftover […]
I’m sitting at the hair salon listening to the singer from 10,000 maniacs – oh Natalie Merchant; only took me 2 hours to recall her name – with a lotta horns behind her, dabbling at my bleeding mouth. I wolfed a slice of toast in between getting home from work and getting in the car […]
This weekend is supposed to be a somewhat cooking-free one for me. Plus I’ve been trying to clean out old stuff from closets, use up leftovers, etc. Last night (Friday) I made mulligatawny soup, from a recipe I printed out from Cooking Light years ago. I’ve let my Cooking Light subscription lapse; I wonder if […]
So all the weather guys are talking about how the whole world’s in the deep freeze – even Letterman just made a joke about how they should let Rush Limbaugh out of the hospital because we could use the hot air. I made fried rice for dinner – looks like I posted my recipe a […]
