Wait that’s a song …. But could insert overworked and underpaid, stupid busy, or any number of other clichés. Including spring ahead – the time change everyone hates (well, except Mark – he likes that it stays light later in the day, but I miss the light in the morning) that I am suffering the … [Read more…]
[supsystic-slider id=5 ] So I just kept hauling stuff out of the freezer, and making it into dinner. Like I said, Friday we had pasta. On Saturday we had pork roast and stuffing. The stuffing had cranberries and apple. I mixed up the usual stuffing stuff, dried bread and celery and onion and chestnuts and … [Read more…]
We went to Milwaukee to see Bruce Springsteen last night. Way up in nosebleed territory in the basketball arena, along with 20,000 other middle-aged to elderly fans. It was kind of fun, but stadium shows are not really my thing. It’s The River tour – so Bruce & the E-Street band perform the record, and … [Read more…]
I am testing two recipes for Food52, and they both remind me of other recipes of mine. The first one, tested (and eaten) on Saturday night, is Buttermilk and Rye Sticky Toffee Puddings (for two!) Which reminds me of Pumpkin Sticky Pudding, that I made a few times for School Woods dinners, with one notable … [Read more…]
I guess I’m having a normal week, at least in terms of not going back and forth to Chicago all the time. Rach is here, and came in last Thursday, which is unusual; she usually comes from Sunday to Saturday. It was so that she could work on Friday, and then over the weekend, prepare … [Read more…]
Unwritten anyways. I’m doing one of my back and forth weeks, down to Chicago on Tuesday, back to Madison Wednesday morning, and now back to Chicago Friday. [supsystic-slider id=3 position=”center”] The weather’s been back and forth-y, too. It was winter over the weekend, for Valentine’s Day, which was a Sunday. The day before was probably … [Read more…]
Last year, it was Deb & Rach Make Soup. This year, I was on my own, and the demo, for CSA Fairshare, was preserving summer produce, and then a few things to do with your riches from the freezer. I made a little slideshow: Garden Expo Slides. My plan was to demo blanching and skinning … [Read more…]
… nor blogging. [supsystic-slider id=2 position=”center”] Monday (and that would be Monday a week ago, by the time this was written) I got home on the late side, and ate the last couple of leafs of spinach, almonds, and dried cranberries from the soup dinner salad, sautéed with some of the leftover farro salad, that … [Read more…]
[supsystic-slider id=1 position=”center”] We’re having another of our global warmed winters in WI. We were supposed to have a blizzard on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, but all we got was about 3 inches of wet snow, that changed into slush and rain. One night last week we got about three inches of pretty … [Read more…]
On the last night of January 2016 I had a Dinner at DebS soup dinner. It was a nice, smallish group – 11 10 adults and one kid, counting me and Megan. Natasha’s husband stayed home with their son, who’d fallen asleep, and she came with their daughter and to-go containers to take home food … [Read more…]
