Just a quickie to let you know — if you didn’t already — how brilliant I am. I made an appointment at the genius bar to bring my new Macbook Air in to have the battery looked at, since I couldn’t seem to squeeze more than a couple hours out of it. I’d googled “Macbook [...]
Crazy times call for crazy measures. I bought an 11″ Macbook Air last week. I just did it. I researched and backed away. I made the rational decision to “wait.” Then I went back to work. Then, before I could stop myself, I was researching some more… The funniest part of the whole episode [...] 
There. Now stop asking me! Yes, I have the flu. Thankfully it is not the barfy variety. Or the other kind either. It’s just the symptoms in the middle: fever, chills, body aches and massive, massive, unrelenting headache. I got it approximately 20 hours after getting home from skiing in Colorado. And I am [...] 
It’s not often that I post a retraction to a previous post. However, that little bit about the cats walking on my bread dough… I think I would have gotten away with it if Jane hadn’t tattled on me. I will admit that I included it for the thrill of a cheap laugh. That isn’t [...] 
Let’s call this a Meatless Monday lunch on a Wednesday, shall we? I’m battling a bug. First it was a cold. Now it’s aches and a bad stomach. I’ve got a luscious container of leftover pot roast in the fridge, but looking at it somehow makes me feel even more ill. How can that [...] 
My Favorite Ragout – Redux Note that doesn’t say “Charlie’s Favorite Ragout.” The reason for that is many-fold: He never has any idea of anything that is going on. Not that it’s Monday, Not that it’s Kids Cook. Not that he’s cooking. Not what he wants to make. Nothing. Ragout is a really horrible, [...] 
I probably should have researched the whole thing a bit more before so casually tossing it out there. “Oh, I was going to make you the Bon Appetit Ribbon cake… But if you want Baker’s Square, that’s OK too.” Seriously. That is exactly how it went down. Seriously. I could have gone to the [...] 
Chanterelle Morel Mushroom with Pasta and Cream Sauce No, we couldn’t find Morgan’s beloved Chanterelle mushrooms so she had to settle for *sigh* locally harvested and dried morel mushrooms that I’ve been saving for a special occasion. It was a difficult sacrifice for me. I’m all for Kid’s Cook, but I’m not necessarily “all [...] 
I want a MANWICH. …Seems to be the sub-theme for the evening’s menu. Charlie, on his first solo Kids Cook flight, chose STEAK, POTATOES and KALE (I may have wielded some influence in this category). It sounded just fine to me. So we rummaged around in the freezer and found a nice looking ribeye [...] 
I hate “RIP.” It seems so callous. And yet. I bow to convention. Something you won’t see very often from me. I could only do it in the context of Chin, because I know he wouldn’t mind. We never once called him ‘Ringo’ even though that was his name. He was Chin. Original, I [...] |
