One of the best things about going back to work is my new found love of weekends. I realize that a lot of you who work Monday through Friday probably love weekends. But when I was home for the last couple of months, I had no preference for weekends or week days – they were…… Continue reading Saturday
Last night I made dinner for my friends, and their son Henri (who is 17 months old). I went with the new pasta dish I made a couple of weeks ago. I love this meal because you can really put any sort of vegetable you want in it… For this go around I used one…… Continue reading Dinner
I have to say, I love my new coffee cup. I need all the help I can get in the morning, and I thought this mug was a lot of fun and sort of a throw back to the good ol’ diner days: Now if I could only figure out how to create a coffee…… Continue reading Good Morning Sunshine
was sort of like an epic fail. I was so tired this morning when my alarm went off at 6am. I knew I would be… so I decided to sleep until 6:30 and take the 7:20 train into work. All was going well, I got up right at 6:30 when my alarm went off. Had…… Continue reading This morning…
It is 9:15 PM and I really do not want to pack my lunch and breakfast. It is only the end of the second day of work, so the wheels cannot fall off the tracks just yet. Must get motivated for day three. Why is this so hard!? OK, I am going to go into…… Continue reading Packing…
Hooray for the second day of work! Getting up this morning was not quite as bad as I thought it would be (I think it might hit me tomorrow?? I hope not!). I took the train to work, so I was able to get up at 6 o’clock instead of 5:45 – every fifteen minutes…… Continue reading Tuesday
Here is yet another ‘idea’ when you are cooking a dinner for one…. a rice, bean and vegetable quesadilla, on a whole wheat tortilla. I started cooking the rice about a half hour before I wanted to eat. I seasoned it with garlic and chili powder. After the rice cooked for about twenty minutes,…… Continue reading Monday Night: Dinner for One
Well, everyone, exciting news. I survived my first day back at work today! It was not as dreadful as I thought it might be – and actually, it turned out to be really nice. My morning started out quite early: I woke up (and got up) when my alarm went off at 5:45 AM. I…… Continue reading Monday morning, back to work…
Last night we had dinner at the Broad and Arrow Tavern at the Harraseeket Inn. There are two ways to dine at the Harraseeket, and every year my mom, sister and I partake in both ways. One night we dine more casually (but superbly) at the Tavern, and the other night we have our fancy…… Continue reading Dinner at the Tavern
My mom, sister and I are on a mini-vacation this weekend. We are in Maine at the Harraseeket Inn, one of our favorite places. We got into our room where we were greeted by some food and goodies: Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a cheese and fruit plate (thanks to our fantastic friend Leanne!). But…… Continue reading Weekend Get A Way
