It was quite a Sunday of food this weekend. I made chocolate chip “classic” cookies from the America’s Test Kitchen cookbook… I melted the butter on the stove… I mixed the wet ingredients together: There were a lot of ingredients and things on the counter… this picture was taken after I had put a lot…… Continue reading I made amazing cookies, and Tim made wings
I have tomorrow off, which is super exciting. My friend Jane is coming over, and we are going out to lunch. I promise to report on the fantastic food that will be consumed. This week has been really hard for me. I am trying my best not to get a cold (loading up on vegetables,…… Continue reading Today is [sort of] like Friday…
Happy Friday everyone. I cannot decide if this week has seemed long or short. There were days when I couldn’t believe it was ‘already Wednesday’ but then there were definitely a few times when I remember thinking, “how is it not Friday yet?” I celebrated the arrival of Friday morning with a cinnamon scone: Wednesday…… Continue reading A TGIF Scone…
Happy Election Day, everyone! I love Election Day. Even though it might be sort of a bad night for progressives, I still love seeing democracy in action. If you have not done so already, go run out and vote! I took the train in today, I had a good half hour of reading on my…… Continue reading Go Out & Vote!
There is nothing I like more than good commuting karma – especially on a Monday! It is so rare… But today I left just a few minutes early to go to the bank before getting on the train. Imagine my surprise when I walked in to South Station to see that there was a 4:35…… Continue reading Good Commuting Karma…
Hi All – Well, I think the chili Mark and I made was a hit! Mark said that he loved it, and that makes me happy. I love the seasoning we used in the mixture, thanks to our wonderful ATK cookbook. I was a little shocked that it called for 1/4 cup of chili powder…… Continue reading Chili for Lunch
It does not get better than this! I have had such a relaxing day. I slept in just a bit (9 o’clock is awesome considering I wake up at 5:45 during the week). Mark and I walked to one of our new weekend hangouts, our neighborhood Seven Stars: This Seven Stars is especially cool -…… Continue reading A Relaxing Sunday…
This morning I could not get up. My alarm started going off at 5:45 AM. The same time it goes off every week day morning. It is pitch black at that time. I do not really love having an alarm go off before 6 AM in the morning. It does not seem right. Oh well.…… Continue reading I skipped breakfast today…
The other night I made salmon, asparagus and couscous for Mark and my mom. It was our first official dinner at the new place. The food was fantastic, thanks to Mark making a trip to East Side market earlier in the day. I was just a tad nervous preparing the salmon, so I looked at…… Continue reading Salmon in the new house….
Hi All. I can’t believe I have been in my new place for three mornings already. Saturday morning I went over to Seven Stars to get a ginger biscuit and a cup of coffee because I had no food in the house. Saturday I went to three different grocery stores to start building a “pantry”.…… Continue reading Breakfast in the new place…
