This is what I made for breakfast this morning: French toast made with fresh French bread and an egg custard infused with orange juice and nutmeg. It was delicious. Later we went for a run. Total distance was three miles, though I probably only jogged for a third of that due to my lack of […]

It didn’t rain today. We walked downtown and visited the used book shop, then got apple ciders. It was actually quite lovely. On our way home we got a nice clear look at the Mount Olympus, covered with snow. And Greek gods. Earlier today I went to the market to get a few last-minute items […]

Sun came out today, so I walked three miles. At the midway point I stopped for a coffee and read a couple of essays in my library book, including a very interesting piece by Malcolm Gladwell about the phenomenon of six degrees of separation. Brian is at hapkido. For dinner I am making roasted vegetables […]

The dressing is a tarragon/olive oil/mustard/lemon juice/balsamic vinegarette, and it includes elbow noodles, diced kalamata olives, marinated artichoke hearts, pine nuts, tomato, cucumber, diced chicken, and golden raisins. It is chilling in the fridge and is going to be so good. 2. On the stove: a […]

I got a lot done today. Crossed off almost everything on my to-do list. Right now, a banana bread is baking in the oven and making the house smell wonderful. The sky has been clear and blue all day. As soon as the banana bread is done, I’m going for a walk. Though to be […]

While I knit for an hour tonight I watched some Food Network. I saw this oddly fascinating episode of Paula Deen, where she as usual created the most fattening calorific junk imaginable. The side course was this potato casserole, comprised of a layer of mashed potato, a layer of sour cream, onions and red peppers […]

So, dinner tonight was meatloaf leftovers. Which was awesome and delicious, even tastier on the second day, right? I was stuck without a side dish though. I looked in the cupboard, which still contains some of the food my dad left behind. Saw a box of “Pasta Roni” and thought oh ok, maybe some plain […]
