Election Day was last Tuesday, and it was so busy that I worked from 6:00 to 4:00 instead of the 6:00 to 1:30 that I was scheduled for. And for the rest of the week it seemed like everyone I talked to was tired, but sort of happy. We elected a liberal supreme court justice … [Read more…]
In the face of every news item being worse than the last, what is there to do but carry on trying to be normal? Which for me of course is cooking. And going for walks, sometimes to one of my HMO’s clinics to get a shot, like I did on Tuesday morning. After getting back … [Read more…]
I haven’t told you about what we’ve been up to since we got back from Denver and there’s been a bit, 2 trips to Chicago, Valentine’s Day, the spring primary election, Jasper coming over, and of course, the return to baking, now that I’m out of the cast. Saturday (Feb 22) was my mom’s and … [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…]
Told ya I’d be back. It is now Sunday Monday of after another over scheduled weekend, and I am trying to catch up back to last week. Anyways, it rained last Monday, hard a few times, and I managed not only to bike to the University library and home again without getting significantly wet, I … [Read more…]
Most of last week it was still May so we could be in denial. And it’s still been stormy, albeit with nice days alternated in. Like last Wednesday when Jasper came and the sky was bright blue. We also worked out a new yogurt-eating method. The week before he wasn’t interested in anything off a … [Read more…]
In this week since Mothers Day, there’s been some good stuff. Let’s talks about that instead of whining (whinging in British) on about all my sinus pain and and knee pain and worry and fatigue. I cooked a few good things, like Hetty McKinnon’s peanut noodles, now also featured in the banner. These I actually … [Read more…]
What we talk about and what we consume. And a catch up kind of a post, because we left off like 10 days ago. I just finished this book called The Farmer’s Wife, by Helen Rebanks. I put it on hold at the library because I heard Rebanks and Scott Simon and Nick Offerman talking … [Read more…]
I started writing this last Wednesday (it’s Saturday now, actually continued on this Sunday, and it’s Monday now) and it was going to be titled “a week (or so) back from TIFF”. But as usual time has escaped me, so I’m going to work on the last 10 days or so that have gone by … [Read more…]
And sometimes I can swing my leg thru when I get on the bike, rather than awkwardly climbing on. Although sometimes I take pleasure because I think it’s a fake out – I look clumsy getting on but once I’m up I’m more graceful – so maybe the cars’ll stay outta my way. So life … [Read more…]
