All the stuff I did do this weekend … and all the stuff I didn’t do. And, well not even all, because, of course, there’s stuff I didn’t even know about that I didn’t do. It was one of those weekends with about a million things going on. Friday I went to the Rousers geezer … [Read more…]
Let’s see if I can tell you about a couple of things that stand out. Affogato for dessert at Avec. It’s that Italian dessert that’s just coffee, espresso really, dumped over vanilla ice cream. Here’s Food52’s take on it. Lots of high end restaurants serve it with some baked good on the side. We had … [Read more…]
Thursday walking to work I was behind a woman stylishly dressed in black high-heeled pumps and black leggings, a short black skirt, black rain coat, a fringed hand bag, and topped up with a little pink fedora with a feather.

It’s an often talked about thing that with the Internetz and 159 channels and time shifting and there’s no town square and we don’t all sit down to watch Uncle Walter at the same time on the CBS Evening News (“in an era when network news was central to many people’s lives.” as it says … [Read more…]

My little brother turned 60 on Monday. Here’s a card Chad & Lea made: Yep, that’s him. My friend Terese is the same day as my brother and the same year as me, so she turned 62. I got a cake from a local, regular sugar and flour type, bakery, and added marzipan carrots and … [Read more…]
Walking to work on a rainy Thursday, the sidewalk was populated with worms. I tried not to step on them. The soundtrack was a little jingle us kids used to sing, which Wikiedia tells me is the Hearse Song: The worms crawl in The worms crawl out The worms crawl higgeldy all about And one … [Read more…]
It seems a little weird to say I didn’t cook much this week when on Monday I prepped breakfast for 40 at the food pantry at the community center, and then went back to serve it on Tuesday morning. There were breakfast burritos and blueberry muffins. I made 40 burritos and 42 muffins and they … [Read more…]
