Hi there bloggies: I am recovering from surgery pretty well so far. I have watched some movies (thanks Andrew for bringing me The Social Network!I) and enjoyed having company. Last night I started reading again, which is a good sign in the recovery process. Today I hope to finish Perfect Life by Jessica Shattuck. The…… Continue reading Recovery Soup…
This morning I woke up and it was snowing. It was the last morning that I could really sleep in and enjoy not being in pain seeing as though my surgery is tomorrow. Sigh. So, I stayed in bed for a while. It was warm, I listened to the quiet falling of the snow on…… Continue reading Egg Sandwich
No one. But tonight was one of those nights where I felt like someone was coming to dinner because we had some good food. I was getting bored, being at home, so I decided to make a small-ish apple pie for dessert tonight. So, I do not have the mini tart pan that I really…… Continue reading Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner…
Why hello there, bloggies. How is your Monday going? Things here are fine. I fully intended to have oatmeal for breakfast today, but my mom left me half of a blueberry muffin… I had it with a cup of coffee out of my Black Dog coffee mug: I put the muffin in the toaster oven…… Continue reading Monday…
I did end up going out to lunch today with a friend. I did not end up finding the perfect mini tart pan 😦 . I got over it, because I had a pretty amazing hamburger for lunch. I started my Sunday morning off with a cup of strong Starbucks coffee, brewed at home, and…… Continue reading A Sunday Burger…
Happy Sunday morning to you all. I hope your weekend has not been below zero or too snowy. Today I am off to lunch, where I might get a hamburger (only three days until my surgery and I’ll be back to chicken noodle soup in no time…) or a milkshake (both are things I have…… Continue reading Mini Tart Pan, Anyone?
This morning my mom made breakfast. I walked into the kitchen as my mom was slicing up an apple. At first I thought she was preparing her baked apples or a famous dish, fried apples. I had no idea what was coming. It was the awesome savory apple pancake. This recipe is from the 1970s…… Continue reading Savory Apple Pancake…
Just for the record, we had the soup for dinner last night along with some great whole grain bread from Dave’s. It was a great dinner and there was yet another huge snow storm going outside. I took a really horrible photograph via my iPhone, just for the record: Garnished with more freshly ground pepper…… Continue reading Soup
I let the soup cook on low for 45 minutes… While the soup was cooking I cleaned up the first part of my soup preparation. Once everything was washed and dried, I set up my mom’s food processor. (I was not about to get mine out of the attic even though I am partial to…… Continue reading Butternut Squash Soup Part 2
When you make a soup like this it sort of takes a while. A lot of the time you feel like you are waiting around. So I figured what better way to wait around than write a Part 1 post. First, I cut my squash into two pieces – I took out the seeds. I…… Continue reading Butternut Squash Soup Part 1
