What a combination, right? Last night I made the dough for the sugar cookies. Here is a pointer – once you are done making the dough, roll it into a ball before you chill it – because other wise you are stuck scraping the mixing bowl for chilled dough. It’s not that much fun, and…… Continue reading Cookies and Onion Soup…
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…
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
When I am nervous I tend to cook and bake. I was (and still am) super nervous today. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Jets. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Steelers, either – but I am taking it one game at a time. I am not…… Continue reading Football

However, I am always reminded that my weekend is in the twilight of its existence, and that my busy week is about to start in just a few hours. This weekend…… Continue reading Low Key Afternoon

Hey All – So, I’m recovering. When I woke up this morning I did not think I had enough energy to get to work. But I GOT UP & GOT GOING. I made it to work! (I was somewhat surprised that the roads were not washed out!) Once I started my day, it felt great…… Continue reading Wednesday – Back to Work
Bleh. I was home sick yesterday. I had no energy. Not even enough energy to write a blog entry. What is wrong with me!? I woke up with a fever, and went back to bed and slept until 10:30. It was totally raining again yesterday (all day) and I guess that made it easy for…… Continue reading Home Sick
That was my facebook status today… I love Mark Bittman. 😀 I also love his recipe for Pasta e Fagioli, or pasta and bean soup. When I woke up this morning it was the only thing I could think of. One of the great things about having holidays at your extended family’s house is that…… Continue reading I love Mark Bittman
