Life in Maison Gezellig
« Previous EntriesWhy haven’t I been posting about food recently?
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I can sum up the reason in two words:
Wii. Fit.
Here’s a little film1 of how it works, if you’re out of the video-game-peripherals loop.
Upon buying the Wii Fit, which is basically an oversized scale with a bunch of really fun games, we learned a.) my kid was solidly in the underweight category, which I […]
Green is… kinda overwhelming
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Because I’m taking the summer off from school, my husband and I have decided that this is the summer we officially make our apartment into everything we’ve ever wanted it to be… starting with paint.
Even if I wasn’t the self-proclaimed eco-nerd I am, I still border on freakishly chemically sensitive. Cigarette smoke, Lysol, almost all […]
Today is the greatest something something
Monday, May 12th, 2008My classes are done for the summer. I got an A in that writing class I didn’t like, and I’m waiting to hear about the French class, but I breezed through the final exam, so I’m feeling pretty good about the final grade.
I spent my Mothers’ Day yesterday traipsing around, buying myself clothes (because on […]
It must be spring.
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008Because we just ate our first coco helados of 2008:

Internet = full of fail
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008I just spent far too much time looking for a clip from “Annie Hall” in which they all eat Easter dinner together. All I can find is the screenplay, which I’ll get to in a minute. Woody Allen proclaims that Grammy Hall has made a “dynamite ham” — and I think of that every […]
Let’s all go to the lobby!
Monday, March 17th, 2008Tonight (presuming there are no small-child meltdowns over darkness and/or loud noises) my kid is going to see her first movie in the theater:
And, of course, we will buy about $14 of very bad, greasy, salty popcorn.
What do you buy at the concession stand? More importantly, what do you wish you could buy […]
Wow.
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008I just spent a week — literally, a week — sick with the worst flu I have ever had.
I went to bed Wednesday afternoon and didn’t get up again until… Sunday? And even then, I sat on the couch for about two hours and then decided to call it a day.
On the bright side, […]
What I’ve been doing for the past week:
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Making food — the best chocolate chip cookies ever, French toast with raspberry sauce, my grandmother’s meat sauce, a lasagna so good I almost cried, roasted vegetable stock — all of which entailed a lot of standing around thusly:
When I wasn’t doing that, I was wrapping gifts, hiding gifts, forgetting where I hid said gifts, […]
Using the whole turkey.
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007I try to keep a list of things I want to blog about. Sometimes they’re specific (”crazy chips from Big Lots”) and sometimes they’re more vague. Case in point, I’ve had “using the whole turkey” on my list since I came home from my mom’s house over Thanksgiving.
I had kinda forgotten where I intended […]
I say this every year…
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007Or at least I said it last year:
Seven years ago today, I got married, because eight years ago today, I sat down in a Starbucks and fell in love.
You should all be so lucky.
