Birthday breakfast

Saturday, August 11, 2012

Still with the peaches, and the blue bowl cereal bowl I bought from King Arthur Flour, that I like to use for ice cream or oatmeal or yogurt and granola.

Solitary Sunday Breakfast

Sunday, August 5, 2012

I’ve got the house to myself this weekend – Mark & Ethan & Abby went to Lollapalooza, but my distance students’ week long orientation starts Monday, and I didn’t think I could take the time – not to mention getting back to Madison at like 2:00 a.m. Monday. Al (& Emma) was here last night, […]

Dinner at Annie’s, pt. 2

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

On Tuesday, my friend and neighbor Ann had sort of a repeat of the dinner I made for her last Wednesday – about 20 people, I made a bunch of salads, and desserts, and she grilled brats. This time, they had: potato salad – a really nice one; little yellow potatoes from the farmers market, […]

My neighbor & walking friend, Ann, who’s a pediatrician, had a gathering at her house last night for people from the Wisconsin Environmental Health Network; mostly doctors & their families. She wanted me to make a couple of big bowls of salads, and some bars for dessert. Based on what I got in my CSA […]

That was the week that wasn’t

Friday, July 13, 2012

Wasn’t much for  blogging, though I certainly did cook and eat. On Wednesday, I did a small private dinner – that’s what the tomato tarts were for. It was a nice group. A woman I know through work organized it – she works with instructional technology on campus.  It was her and her girlfriend, and […]

Time shifted

Monday, July 2, 2012

I saw a newspaper headline today that said that the mid-week 4th of July holiday is confusing would-be vacationers & tourists – it’s too hard to make the Wednesday 4th add into a 3- or 4-day weekend, and nobody wants to burn the extra days off work, or figure out when to travel, when to […]

Dad’s Day Cake

Monday, June 18, 2012

Victoria sponge with pastry cream and berries and cherries. I like the Victoria sponge recipe from Michael Smith’s The Afternoon Tea Book. The WorldCat record has no cover image, so I linked the title to Google Book – but there’s no handy recipe preview, and I have also used this Saveur recipe, which is available […]

We know how to party

Saturday, June 16, 2012

Last night we hosted our exchange student’s farewell graduation BBQ. It was a really nice party – lots of pleasant young people, and one whole family, our neighbors from up the street, who also have a graduating senior daughter, so there were some grown ups for me & Mark. We asked people to bring something […]
