Normally on Sundays, I wake up and fret and feel guilty and try to decide how long to stay in bed (which is also spending time with Mark) vs. making brunch vs. getting some exercise vs. working vs. doing something creative … Today it’s windy and blustery outside, finally being appropriately autumnal, so I decided … [Read more…]
Even the kitty cat slept in on Memorial Day. So here’s the plan. We had a nice little driveway party on Sunday, and we finally lucked out with the weather. I only took a pic of my beer; Megan got the best shot of one of the neighbor kids running down the driveway to the … [Read more…]
Is my tagline for the weekend, anyways. Or maybe that should be “seeking inspiration”. Friday I worked until 5:00, recording a lecture for one of my classes that I think I’m gonna do over, anyways. Came home and made a loaf of garlic bread with our German exchange student, so that she could take it … [Read more…]
We got a lot of rain over the weekend. On Thursday afternoon, it was hot and looked threatening, but I was determined to bike to get my CSA box – afterall it’s all those cars that are making it so hot. Mark was out walking and it was getting darker and darker, but he made … [Read more…]

I’m worried that I’ve become a blog post whiner, or even worse, a blog post bore. That my posts are the kind that have a lot of, “then I did this, then I went here, then I felt guilty for eating too much”, rather than sparkling wit and keen observations of what I am seeing … [Read more…]
So many recipes are for those who are too busy to cook. Me, I’m not too busy to cook, but I’m too busy for writing. I feel like I’ve had some successes, made some tasty food, as the Penzy’s signs say, but that may or may not be apparent in the written version. Last Thursday … [Read more…]
Although I am sure my brother would say that it’s not a real holiday unless there’re potatoes. But it’s after 12:00 noon, and I am still in pajamas cooking, and I’ve made: 2 pies, rhubarb-cherry, based on my rhubarb-strawberry pie, with cherries in the amount I usually use of rhubarb, and the rhubarb the amount … [Read more…]
