Our first night we had sammiches for supper – bread and Nueske’s smoked turkey from the fancy grocery store in Fish Creek, tomatoes & cucumbers from my CSA box, brought from home – then we watched Gosford Park on VHS tape. Thursday morning we weren’t sure of the weather, so we went out seeking coffee […]
So my master plan of last weekend, cooking all the vegetables I could, seems to have worked. Mark and Rach and I had tomato gratin and eggs and fruit on Sunday morning; I did make the Smitten Kitchen one – but I used leftover garlic toast and much less Parmesan, instead of cubing and frying […]
I’m getting three CSA boxes in a row – I get my normal every other from Tipi, August 7th & 21st, and last Thursday I got Rebekah’s from Vermont Valley. So, I’ve been trying to cook it all, and here’s what’s in the fridge: one last slice of corn & tomato pie a small container […]
Or, post farmers’ market lunch with visiting Seattle friends. Joe and Terry were here because Joe was officiating at the wedding of one of his students – we started hearing about this in January during the ALA conference in Philadelphia, because he was looking for some kind of Internet ordination that he could do, and […]
First thing this morning I drove out to the clinic out by West Towne with the urgent care that opens early, to get stuck for my thyroid pill blood test, and on the radio they were saying it was going to be the hottest, humidest day of the summer. By the time I got home […]
Saturday breakfast: Late summer veggies are coming in at the market – no corn yet, but broccoli, zucchini & summer squash, cherries, sun gold tomatoes. Sunday breakfast: Potato-broccoli scrambler with bacon and toast and all the fruit we bought at the market: Sunday dinner – gonna eat these Costco strawberries over vanilla ice cream, with […]
Summer food, mostly. Rach has been here since Monday. I’m trying to remember Monday night … It was freezing at the beginning of the week. Usually I wash my hair and in the summer, shave my legs, on Sundays, but I didn’t get around to until till Tuesday this week – it didn’t matter, because […]
Our AFS student Toni stayed a little longer than the rest of this school year’s students, because her family – mom, dad, and little sister – came to pick her up and now they’re traveling in the US for about 2 weeks. Even though Toni is leaving, we are now entering into a period of […]
Shucks, I’ve been writing this post in my head all day, and I have forgotten the good parts. It’s Saturday of Labor Day weekend, so truly the end of summer. I started the day feeling kind of melancholy and nostalgic – oh, summer’s over, back to work. The feeling was intensified because last Saturday I […]
Where I left off was Tuesday after the vegans – It was my first day back at work after Bootcamp. Catch up in the AM, then a planning retreat for a campus organization of which I am part in the PM. The lunch was boxed from Panera – I thought I was going to be […]
