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.

Thanksgiving: the food parts
Monday, November 26th, 2007Despite all the good advice I received, I did not brine the turkey.
My family… well, they’re slow to embrace change.1 And, to keep everyone happy, I made a non-brined, but still very good turkey instead.
Alyce’s recommendation of Martha Stewart’s turkey recipe was spot on. Cooking it at 450° for 30 minutes, then turning […]

Ten days!
Saturday, September 29th, 2007Is that the longest I’ve ever gone without a post? I think it may be.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been completely absorbed in first getting my textbooks (a tip: never ever buy from Barnes & Noble’s website) and then catching up with my studies. The language department recommends spending two hours studying […]
Rice with stuff.
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007That’s becoming our kitchen’s standard I-don’t-feel-like-cooking-but-let’s-not-get-pizza meal: “rice with stuff.” It’s sort of a half-assed version of a donburi or a bibimbap — which are, as I said, a bowl of rice with stuff on top.
I know the traditional way to make rice goes something like this:
Put the rice in a bowl and […]
Life in Maison Greenzellig
Friday, September 7th, 2007Well, with my poll showing 92% in favor of hearing more about what I do in my apartment to be a little more environmentally friendly, let’s get to it.
Rather than try to cover everything at once, I’ll break it down into one or two subject areas per post. This time around, I’ll cover energy use.
What […]
Changes afoot.
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007Last week, I was in the middle of writing my final analysis of the Eat Local Challenge when I heard the key turn in the door. It was midday on Wednesday. Before my husband even got all the way in the door, I knew what was up: his magazine folded.
After a minute or two […]
Hiatus: over.
Friday, May 11th, 2007Do you know how much stuff I’ve been doing lately? It’s crazy. Let me sum up, list-style:
I got sick. For like, a full week. This never happens.
The house fell into a shambles.
I started tidying up and the kid got whatever I had.
She got over it, then I had to embark on mad cleaning spree.
My mother-in-law […]
