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 getting a chicken Caesar salad wrap<\/em> – but it turned out to be a sandwich on some bread that had that texture my mom always called “cottony” – why she eschewed most fast food; couldn’t face “those buns”. The chicken was the kind that comes precooked in little plastic bags containing God knows what seasoning and preserving fluids – I took it off the sandwich and had a soggy mayo-lettuce-tomato-Parmesan-cheese sandwich of which I ate about 1\/3, biting as close as possible to the crustiest parts of the bread. There was a little bag of chips and a cookie in the box too. The cookie was a not too terrible butter cookie, so I ate about 3\/4 of that.<\/p>\n

I was supposed to have dinner with a friend, but she forgot, so I came home and made kidney bean and corn enchiladas – my standard recipe, based on this Martha<\/a> (I use flour tortillas, warmed in the micro, don’t add extra water to the sauce, and use my own home made chicken or veggie broth) – and they looked a lot like the below black bean ones from almost the exact same date, August 14, last year, but of course, no pix.<\/p>\n

Wednesday we went for burgers at Dottie’s<\/a>, with Ethan and Abby; Thursday we ate some leftovers and went to see a movie<\/a> (Remember the Titans<\/a>, selected by crowd sourcing) on the new jumbotron scoreboard at Camp Randall.<\/p>\n

Friday I came home and cooked for two hours and produced Thai chicken curry, that we ate at almost 8:00, a banana cake, and … oh … damn, can’t even remember what the other thing was – it was to save some vegetable or other that was languishing in the fridge, that’s for sure. Oh that’s right – Cafe Flora<\/a> mushroom pate! To use up the leftover mushrooms from the vegans.<\/p>\n

Saturday we went to Chris’s party out in the country, and I made focaccia sandwiches, 2 13 x 9 focaccias, split, one filled with goat cheese, pesto and tomatoes, and the other with the above mushroom pate and mayonnaise and lettuce.<\/p>\n

Sunday I went and biked four hours at Ride the Drive. We grilled for dinner, brats and a nice little potato salad and grilled corn, then watched the vampires<\/a> and Newsroom<\/a>. I still can’t believe they killed off Eric.<\/p>\n

Now it’s Monday of my stay at home, vacation\/slash work at home week.\u00a0 So far, I folded the two baskets of laundry I’ve been storing in the basement for two weeks – had to go down and fish out underwear every morning because none in my dresser; washed a bedspread; have tomatoes and vegetables roasting for the roasted vegetable tomato sauce<\/a> I’ve discovered and like so well; and made veggie broth with all the dregs of the veggie bin – corn cobs, pepper insides, carrot peels and the last couple of CA organic carrots – the local ones will be here soon, parsley stems, and, after taking enough leaves to put into the roasted vegetable sauce, the fresh thyme I bought for the\u00a0Cafe Flora<\/a> mushroom pate, and the fresh oregano I got in my CSA box. I made some corn muffins with kernels cut off the cobs we grilled last night.<\/p>\n

So altogether doing a great job not working, but there’s no avoiding it now. If I get the rest of my students’ final papers read today, I can save posting the final grades for tomorrow. Everything’s due at midnight on Wednesday… I think … better go look that up right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
