Cooking and not cooking
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…]
Madison to DC, and then Charlottesville
We left Madison on Friday for a combined family weekend in DC, and trip to Charlotteville VA for a conference for me. Now I’m back at DC’s National Airport for the trip home. I rented a car and drove from Washington down to Charlotteville, and it was a pretty drive through rolling Virginia countryside, with … [Read more…]
A day at the beach
And other fun in strip mall land in central Florida. Since it’s June, and I get my allotment for the whole year at the end of the month, I don’t have any actual vacation days left, although I do have banked time and personal days. But since I worked all day Saturday and Sunday at … [Read more…]
In Orlando…
…with the librarians, and in Chicago, too, to have dinner with John & Megan and catch my flight to Florida. Tuesday was a long day – at 7:30 AM I was on my way to the community center to serve waffles for the food pantry breakfast. At 7:30 PM I was in Chicago at Orchestra … [Read more…]
Life – and cooking and eating – goes on
Last week, my lost week of the bashed up face, I really didn’t cook too much. On Monday, my face was too sore – I had cereal and ice cream for all my meals. I’d been planning for awhile to make Jane and Michael Stern’s broccoli casserole, that I got out of the Splendid Table‘s … [Read more…]
Spring Break!
Grrr, they’ve taken my captions away. I abandoned my old friend Portfolio Slideshow (and so has word press as far as I can tell) because I couldn’t get the captions to work, and started using Responsive Slider by Supsystic, that I upgraded yesterday, and now its captions don’t work either – or at least, I think … [Read more…]
The unexamined life
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. 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 the coldest of … [Read more…]
Not a good week for cooking …
… nor blogging. 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 I made with … [Read more…]
The Library Conference in Boston, Saturday & Sunday
On Saturday, we both had to be at the conference pretty early. We took the T to South Station, and started over the bridge to the Convention Center. I peeled off and took the stairs down to Flour, a little bakery where we’d gotten lunch (bacon sandwiches, basically) the day before. Well, seemingly little – … [Read more…]
