In which I do almost nothing at all. Long weekend, y’all. I didn’t do much, though – I had a rousing several days worth of Cramps From Hell™ followed by a head cold. Friday we didn’t go to Misty’s b-day gathering at the bar, damn it, and Saturday night I stayed home while B. went […]
In which I eat Mexican food. Hattie called me for lunch. She picked me up at noon and we went to Los Portales, where I had nachos originales and she had a chicken burrito. We saw The Holy Couple (Mary & Jesus) and discussed Misty’s upcoming birthday. Friday she’ll be at the bar, and I’ll […]
I made this last night. It was good. Here’s the recipe. Sometimes I feel like I’m a freakin’ soup-makin’ goddess. Pea & Carrot Soup 1/4 c. butter 1/4 white onion, diced 1-2 rib(s) celery, diced 2 c. carrots, peeled and roughly chopped 1 c. frozen peas 1 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp. basil 1/2 tsp. paprika […]
I ate breakfast at a Chili’s restaurant in an airport last month, and I really liked their “breakfast potatoes” – which were prepared as if they were in a wet curry, but the spices were Mexican rather than Indian. The end result was greasy, saucy, spicy, and really good. This morning I tried to duplicate […]
In which Brett turns 32. Yesterday was Brett’s birthday. I totally forgot about it until I went to write a check for dog food at Tractor Supply. I pulled it together pretty fast, though, and had a fantastic pasta dinner (with guests!) all lined up by the time I got home from the store. But […]
In which you can hear a few random things I’ve been listening to lately. For no reason other than I can, I present for your listening pleasure three four tracks I’ve been playing lately in no particular order and with no particular theme: Aganjú by Bebel Gilberto A nice, smooth little Latin track. Fun driving […]
In which I observe that parenting seems to involve lots of sitting around chatting, plus snacks. Last Friday, Brett came home around one in the afternoon and promptly fell asleep on the couch. (All our late night discussions last week had left him with a significant sleep deficit he needed to remedy.) I went to […]
I found this recipe waaaay back in August and printed it out because it struck me as being amusing; I’m all for any cream cheese frosting-carrier that doesn’t contain raisins. I finally bought the key ingredients (bananas, canned pineapple, and a new bottle of vanilla extract) last Monday, and – that’s right bitches – I […]
In which I party like it’s 1999. Brett and I went out with Tommy & Rachel Friday night and got totally wasted at the Dead Cock. We closed the bar, even. Then we were totally useless napped basically all day Saturday, missing Steve’s sushi birthday luncheon in Iowa City like the total dicks we are. […]
In which I both attend satsang AND go out on a Saturday night. I agreed to sing a few songs with Snow for Navaratri, so I showed up at chez Wadsworth between 1 and 2 on Saturday. Snow and I immediately sat at the piano and absolutely butchered a whole bunch of cheesy 70’s fake […]
