I’m about to spend a couple of quality hours cooking today. I’m making taco soup for Mac and the kids; chili just for me, which involves steak, chocolate and a habanero and no beans; a butternut squash crab bisque, a yummy soup that does not involve a roux; and cavatini, a pasta casserole that can [...]
It’s what’s for di…wait, what *is* for dinner?
Between taking a much needed work break and the fact that I had been telecommuting before, I haven’t commuted into KC for work everyday since 2005. My schedule fluctuated at times, but I’ve had at least 2-3 days where I was at home all day which helped with things like laundry and dinner. I still [...]
The Weekend In Brief Review
Busy weekend: two get together’s for birthdays, tumbling classes, flu shots, pumpkin patch and all day at faire on Sunday.

I’m glad that the extra clothes have been removed, but I’m really sick of housework. I’m not doing one bit of it [...]

My differences: coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, sweet potato instead of yukon gold, and at the advice of Lydia, way more volume of spices than listed. I added some curry [...]
Recipe: Ada’s Coconut Salad
She’s getting better. The last time she made a salad, I helped her by giving her my formula for salad: greens, a nut, a fruit, a cheese (except for hers) and a vinaigrette. She made dinner tonight–a salad, she exclaimed! She said she wanted to make a coconut salad. Fine with me. She remembered my [...]
Another Craving Conquered
Tonight I made pizza for dinner. It has been awhile, and I still have bread flour. Pizza is easy, but requires many bigger appliances. I used two pans since I made sausage, the VitaMix to puree the tomatoes for the sauce, the big bucket for raising the dough, the food processor to both make the [...]
