It was raining this morning so I decided to work at home. As soon as I got out of bed – before 7:00, before feeding the cats – the meanderings started. I turned on my computer to send a message to work that I was working at home, and checked into my online course to … [Read more…]
Saturday we went to the farmer’s market and sat outside on a low stone wall by the Capitol, and ate pastries from Graze, and coffee and a scone from Colectivo for breakfast. Something like this, although we had a cherry Danish and a sausage croissant, which is just a roll like pain au chocolat, with … [Read more…]
Between last Friday and today, Monday, I went to three different types of events, all with their own brand of ceremony and customs: a memorial service, a museum gala, and a piano recital. The memorial was for a prominent and popular University professor, Jim Baughman. He taught for us at the library school a few … [Read more…]
The weather Thursday was awful – rainy, icey, dark, a little bit of snow. And of course my timing was off – I planned to go in to work on Thursday, because I had a couple of meetings, and work at home Friday – so I had to go out in it. I started off … [Read more…]
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…]
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…]
[supsystic-slider id=5 ] So I just kept hauling stuff out of the freezer, and making it into dinner. Like I said, Friday we had pasta. On Saturday we had pork roast and stuffing. The stuffing had cranberries and apple. I mixed up the usual stuffing stuff, dried bread and celery and onion and chestnuts and … [Read more…]
I am testing two recipes for Food52, and they both remind me of other recipes of mine. The first one, tested (and eaten) on Saturday night, is Buttermilk and Rye Sticky Toffee Puddings (for two!) Which reminds me of Pumpkin Sticky Pudding, that I made a few times for School Woods dinners, with one notable … [Read more…]
… nor blogging. [supsystic-slider id=2 position=”center”] 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 … [Read more…]
Our first meeting of the day Monday included breakfast. It was a pretty good breakfast, just a little too early in the morning for me. I took a half slice of French toast, a little 100-calorie cup of Yoplait peach yogurt (that was too gloppy and tasted mostly of the color orange rather than peach, … [Read more…]
