Mark and his son and son’s girlfriend are off at Lollapalooza, leaving me and Rachael to have what Rach has started calling the “longest sleepover party of the summer”. I’m just trying to have some normal weekend fun before the new distance student’s bootcamp starts on Monday morning. We started with a pedi, after work […]
Somebody brought a half full case of peaches to work the other day – so I said I’d take enough home to make a pie, and bring it back. I was thinking hand pies, and ended up making nine mini galettes, because I thought they’d be easier to seal and less likely to pop open. […]
This week I have been lazily posting to tumblr and Twitter and scanting the blog. Rach got here Sunday – I made pie. On Monday, I had an evening class, where some f the students were logging in remotely and the rest were in the room with me, which made it a 12-hour day, so […]
I’ve been enjoying the long holiday weekend – I didn’t work at all on the 4th and only a couple of hours each Friday and Saturday and Sunday – tho I am not quite started on Sunday’s hours as yet <grin>. Yesterday I tried out a recipe for a [vegan] roasted tomato sauce. I liked […]
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. […]
Came home with my CSA box today. Two pounds of the large-leafed variety that Tipi Produce grows. It made almost 2 quarts of pesto – 3 pint sour cream containers, and 2 samller containers that are probably 3/4 cup each. And a sandwich. With tomato that came in the box, too.
Tonight, to use up some of the last veggies from my CSA box, the one from two weeks ago, plus the one I got for the class last Thursday – before I get my new one tomorrow – I made Romano beans braised with tomato, and Szechwan green beans – that really messed up the […]
I was thinking that rather than feeling all bummed out and sorry for myself, like yesterday, and posting ugly food, I should resurrect a couple of pretty food pictures from the archives. So here they are: All summer-y things – the tart’s fussy, of course, it’s a Martha recipe – but I don’t make it […]
Last night I taught another of the use-your-whole-CSA-box cooking classes at Willy St. West, for the CSA Coalition. The box was from Tipi and it was a fun, late summer assortment. After doing these last year, we had decided that it’s be better to give the attendees the same number of recipes – 6 or […]
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 […]
