Cooking is the pits when you’re by yourself. Normally, I LOVE to experiment with food (or have Marc experiment with food….), but when Marc was gone, I wasn’t really interested in doing much of anything for dinner, unless it involved baking a Mama Celeste Pizza. This is not an exaggeration. Last week, I went to […]

Recap of Gargoyles
Okay, we just got back from Gargoyles. It was a pretty good time….we did have some weird service, including a server who took our order and then left for the night and a mix-up with Marc’s appetizer.

I love having Phil here. I have a feeling that it has a lot to do with my need/desire to connect with something Wisconsin/Stritch/my former life (that sounds bad…like I am in the witness protection program). Or maybe I like having another person in the house. I don’t know. But it’s been great in general. […]

Ahhhhh, the three day weekend. We have done so much driving this weekend. We were in Providence Friday, Braintree (not too far) on Saturday, and Sunday, we hauled up to Maine. Today, we stayed put, did some chores, made some soup, and caught up on our TiVo full of movies. We went to Portland yesterday, […]

I am plugging along on House Thinking: A Room-to-Room Look at How We Live by Winifred Gallagher, and I just finished the chapter about the kitchen in the book. As in most of the book, the kitchen chapter (entitled “The Kitchen: A Woman’s Work is Never Done?”) began with an American historical perspective on the […]
