Those annoying girls on the bus. They were all like, “My 21st birthday – I remember most of it.” “I would’ve been ok if I’d stopped. I had 3 shots of rum on the way and then a vodka cranberry when we got there, and it was a double. And then another.” There was also … [Read more…]
I haven’t written since we got back from D.C. two weeks ago. I could say it’s because I’ve been working on getting my fall semester online courses ready, and it’s so much the same, writing content and posting it online in a content management system, that I don’t have energy left for blogging. Maybe. I … [Read more…]
So this has been a week of not very much cooking, although of course we ate. I had been in Chicago over the weekend and I thawed out some enchilada casserole with ground turkey and black beans, in case Belana & Mark might eat it while I was gone. Which of course they didn’t, so … [Read more…]
It could’ve been foreshadowing of what was to come in my yoga class, where of course the teacher was going to talk about well being. Or it could’ve been the weather – which is back to “normal” for late February in Wisconsin, cold, snowy, sunny. Or maybe because I was happily thinking that plans I’d … [Read more…]
I looked at Lottie & Doof the other day, and Tim called his catch-up post “Digest: recipe name and recipe name”. I was thinking more of a slideshow, except I didn’t take very good pictures of the weekend’s food enterprises, tacos with pulled pork and corn salsa, and Blueberry Muffins. And, oh yea, I froze … [Read more…]
… is kind of my new phrase, when stuff goes awry, when I’ve had just about enough, with apologies to all the Pete’s I know, although I think at least one of them would like being the epigram of gone awry. As in, “Oh for Pete’s sake”, I have been trying to write this thing … [Read more…]
I’m a little unhappy with my post about last weekend, our crazy Chicago to Madison to Chicago weekend for two graduations. I feel like I reported, but didn’t really express everything I was thinking and feeling. This is a tiny bit due to my desire to protect the names of the individuals involved, but primarily, … [Read more…]
Guacamole made with early spring ingredients from the Farmer’s Market – a couple of hydroponic or hoop house tomatoes, and green garlic, along with lemons and limes and avocados from warmer places then WI (probably California or Mexico. I wonder if they’ll let produce through Trump’s wall?) We filled up on guacamole & chips, so … [Read more…]
Going to try to do the whole thing in one post, except for the Sunday of the Fest – that’s its own story. For me, the film fest started on Thursday, although I’d been to two volunteer trainings already. I worked at home, and took a break to go out to airport, and pick up … [Read more…]
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…]
