Since the 15th, so that means like two weeks plus of no blog posts. I am going to see if I can remember what I did in all that time. I definitely don’t have enough pictures. We flew back to Madison from Denver on the 18th. Since we got a direct flight out of Madison … [Read more…]
This year my birthday’s a Monday so we started the festivities off with a little party on Friday night. I tried to keep the menu simple – no hot appetizers, everything on the table basically at once, no replenishing. It worked pretty well but I didn’t take enough pictures. Any, really. Like of my favorite … [Read more…]
Of course we’ve been eating, but I’ve been cheating a bit on cooking, meaning salads and sandwiches and leftovers, because of the heat. Let’s see if I can remember a few things, since I have to go back about 2 weeks. I’ve managed to cook almost all the double-CSA-box veggies, except the cucumbers. I composted … [Read more…]
Here’s a sign of how old I am. All these groups and organizations in Madison are celebrating 50th anniversaries this year. Or last year, like Willy Street Co-op. WORT, our community radio station where I was a volunteer and then a volunteer programmer and then a Board member from about 1984-1991, is 50 this year. … [Read more…]
It’s one week + one day since the 4th of July. Since then I’ve had a lot of cooking adventures that didn’t come out quite right. And the ever-increasing horror of the big ugly bill, somewhat ameliorated with small encouragements when people fight back. And all the bad news from Texas and other climate change … [Read more…]
I started writing this Friday, lamenting about how I’m so old and don’t do anything anymore. A whole FOMO post. But now that I’ve had the whole weekend if I start listing all the stuff I did there’s actually kind of a lot. I mean when you’re having two movie weekends you can’t be all … [Read more…]
… Or at least trying to, and I had to go to Denver to do it, although not sure being on vacation provides more writing opportunities when the vacation is visiting grandkid #2. I closed my last post saying I’d do better but that hasn’t happened. And that was a whole weekend plus all the … [Read more…]
Whatta week … I was gonna say more like 9 days since I last posted but it’s really only been a week. The political news is crazy, the weather is changeable, and I haven’t been doing very well at photographing food. Or at any of my retirement re-organization projects. Or any of my more vague … [Read more…]
Enervated (one of my mom’s favorite words). Spending too much time sopping up water in the basement. Saturday night we got 3+ inches in something like 3 hours. Quietly freaking about recent political news, although, since Mark is in quarantine upstairs after he tested positive for Covid Friday morning, I’m downstairs with the cats. Which … [Read more…]
It’s been so hot and humid, I’ve already received like 5 pounds of zucchini in my CSA box(es). Yesterday – the summer solstice, only the very first official day of summer, and already a zucchini glut – I made zucchini bread and discovered that I need to tweak my recipe. I think I usually make … [Read more…]
