I can&#8217;t quite remember the order of everything &#8211; one night I made the kale potato gratin, and somehow we didn&#8217;t eat until 8:00. I&#8217;m sure it was a little too kale-y, greens-y for Mark. I test-drove my new mandoline, and liked it pretty well. That last few inches has been sitting in the basement fridge &#8211; I think it would be good fried up with eggs &#8211; maybe, if John &amp; Megan want real breakfasts before they head back to Milwaukee today, that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll have. If they just want coffee and rolls, we can eat the cranberry cimmy buns from <a href=\"http:\/\/schoolwoods.com\/2012\/12\/20\/new-years-day-2013-brunch\/\">New Year&#8217;s<\/a> that I got out of the freezer. I remember being a little disappointed with them on New Year&#8217;s but they&#8217;re surprisingly good now.<\/p>\n<p>Some other night, I just made egg sandwiches &#8211; maybe that was Monday &#8211; before the snow. I made a <a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/2013\/03\/09\/feeding-the-kids-without-shopping\/breadrack2\/\">loaf of no-knead bread<\/a> on the weekend, and we kind of polished it off. Hmm, no I bet that was Wednesday, after my online class. I went upstairs and got all set up, thinking it stared at 5:30. Students aren&#8217;t required to attend live; they can watch the recordings, so I decided that this must be the night when nobody came, started the recorder, and started lecturing. When students arrived at 6:00, I realized my error, trashed the recording, and started over again. I think the first few slides actually went better because of the practice.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, I made a casserole &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Al_forno\"><em>pasta al forno<\/em><\/a>, baked pasta, is the fancy name. I thawed out a batch of <a href=\"http:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/13722-marcella-hazan-s-tomato-sauce-with-onion-and-butter\">Marcella&#8217;s tomato-butter sauce<\/a> that I made in the summer with good fresh tomatoes, and some Mornay that I think must&#8217;ve been for a School Woods brunch &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/schoolwoods.com\/2012\/09\/20\/october-brunches\/\">October 14th, probably<\/a>.\u00a0 I cooked a box of small shells, and the random 1\/2 box of rotini, mixed the noodles up with the sauce, plus an end of brick cheese from the back of cheese drawer, cut int small chunks, and some of a jar of Trader Schmoes pizza sauce. Topped it all off with the Mornay, a handful of breadcrumbs that were left from the kale dish the other night, and Parmesan. Me, John, Cory, and Kanari all ate it happily, and Mark had a plate too, when he came back from his walk.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, after the surgery, Mark &amp; I went to the symphony, and I ordered Thai for the kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much.
