Time to update!!! Because work is slow and it’s so sunny outside and I am lazy. I only have four French classes left. The only reason I look forward to the end of French class is that it will no longer interfere with my acupuncture appointments on Thursdays. After getting poked with needles, I’m supposed […]

Today has been great. Woke up to the sound of the coffeemaker sighing. Had a cup. Did some stretching. Made large gorgeous pot of cooked old-fashioned oatmeal with cinnamon, raisins, and cooked fresh green apples (I do this about every weekend; Brian insists). Went to Trader Joe’s together. Came home and read magazines and watched […]

Hooray, the trip has been booked. We’re flying Southwest airlines to Chi-town on Monday August 29, coming home the 4th. We’re staying the first three nights at what looks like a charming hotel located right downtown, and the last three nights at our friends’ apartment on the northside. I am super excited to see everyone […]
the sheer horror of cooking for your family

I saw some commercial the other night, I think for Red Lobster? Or Sizzler? One of those places. The opening of the ad has this family at the grocery store checkstand, buying ingredients to make dinner. Meat, shrimp, cooking oil (!), herbs, and so on. They look on in HORROR as the total comes to […]

My French teacher (il est Americain) said that he hasn’t watched television in thirty-five years. In other words he last watched television before I was born. The mind boggles. Did he stop watching TV just after the moon landing? Was that the pinnacle in televised entertainment? He of course still watches many films, but only […]

I was going to make the bean thing tonight but the guy at Golden Produce neglected to ring up or bag my two wee shallots. No shallots, no bean thing. Or as Stephen calls it, fagioli toscanini. The good news, that almost made up for the checker incompetence, was that Golden Produce is once again […]

+ Yesterday I made a batch of Meyer lemon sugar cookies, cut into star shapes. They came out perfect: crispy outside and chewy inside. I put them in a ziploc bag and then forgot to take any to work with me. Since I’m not keen on eating two dozen cookies myself, I usually bring my […]

I totally need to update more. Well, write more in general. I got sick on Monday night, right at bedtime. I could just feel it in my throat and my sinuses. You can always tell. By early the next morning, I knew I would not be going to work. So I lay around all day. […]

[On this other very small community I post on, which consists of my husband and five of his pals from Chicago/Michigan, we were given an assignment, which was to post all day as though you were basically writing in our diary as a 13-year-old. Here’s what I wrote. It’s all gloriously true!] I think me […]

What my husband did for his sick wife last night: + brought me a fresh box of kleenex (with lotion!) + washed the dishes + neck rub + gave me a get well card with a picture of a frog on it, and emailed me a get well e-card with a picture of monkeys Is […]
