One of the problems of having to share a kitchen, is having two people put things away in the cupboards. I am blessed to have a husband who likes things tidy and neat. I tend to leave things on the counter, so I know what I have and where they are. But Mr. Neat-and-Tidy swoops…
Pumpkin Soup
I made pumpkin soup, and we had some for dinner. I have no further comment. I need some advice. How do YOU grate ginger? I use a rasp-thing that works beautifully for Parmesan, but all it seems to do is mush the ginger. Can’t believe the weather we are having! A great walk this evening…
Peanut Satay
YUM! I love lunch! Just made a peanut satay sauce for my chicken breast. The sauce was worthy of my inaugural use of my brand new George Foreman Grill! Darn it, that thing cooks fast, and the chicken was delicious! Yes, yes, I know I could have cooked the chicken on the stove top, or…
Elevenses
Ha! Went to the doctor’s yesterday, and I didn’t get weighed!! But truth be told, my weight, other than a miraculous 20 pound dip in the summer, has been the same since 2004. Still Dr. H made a few encouraging and sympathetic comments about my struggle with weight loss. It wouldn’t be so difficult to…
Drugless High
Yesterday was a GREAT day – even though I sat in a training room for most of it (as learner, not the trainer). The class was led by a friend of mine who I adore, and is one of those people that when you leave, you feel energized and happy. I carried that “high” into…
I am a Kitchen Godess
Business: We did our after dinner walk, in the drizzle. It’s a gorgeous evening out there. Daytime, did a lot of walking through downtown, and was agast at the number of street kids hanging out. Although they didn’t pay me any attention (except for one who noticed and commented on the flowers I was taking…
Cops and Security
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a party with cops and security. We had a riot tonight at Rocktoberfest 2009. We went dragging our feet, thinking the evening would be long and drawn out, but truth be told, after a few beers and a few Schnapps, the mood was set and we…
U2, Beer, Musings and Walking
A co-worker and FB friend recently went to Vegas to see U2. Inspired by this, I have dug around my iTunes library and sorted out a play list of all things Bono and Co. Interesting fact, Michael’s cousin Wendy lives fairly close the Edge. Mind you, everyone in Ireland knows each other, and lives next…
The Bank
I walked to the bank at lunch time. I relented and took the bus home this evening. Imagine, if I walked, I would not have had the great pleasure of sitting next to a baby who was having a great time pooping. Mom was encouraging the child. I was stuck against the window. There was…
