Oh yea, blueberries and impending trip to Door County. And stuff I’ve cooked and not posted. Looks like I’m just going to have to do another of those posts with lots of pics, and random thoughts that the pictures remind me of. So here goes: On the last Weds. in July, it was my turn … [Read more…]
No, not Led Zeppelin, me and you, dear blog readers, all 2 or 3 of you (I know my brother reads me off & on, same as I read him, and at least one old friend does, and when I link a post on facebook, I think a few more people look and even share, … [Read more…]
On Thursday I got my CSA box and it was loaded with cucumbers, 4 big ones. That night we had sandwiches. I’d made some malted wheat bread, and there was still some sourdough. We had the first really good tomato from Black Earth Valley; they went to the Westside Saturday market July 9, and so … [Read more…]

Maybe I’m living in that Billy Collins poem. I know one of the ways I’m feeling not like myself is how little documentation of cooking … [Read more…]
I keep having this feeling that it’s all slipping away and I’m neglecting my recording responsibilities. I have never journaled; this blog is it. I envy my brother and other friends who have been writing in notebooks for years. I feel like it’s too late to start now. Plus for me so much is the … [Read more…]
This Memorial Day hasn’t been much like other Memorial Days where we had lots of people over, and kids visiting from out of town, and went to picnics and outdoor concerts. We did have a small gathering on Saturday, our traditional driveway picnic, but it made me kind of question my hostess status, like do … [Read more…]
Or, one step forward, two steps back. Like the Grateful Dead song, “Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride”. Just like everything, the weather is up and down, back and forth.
