Which of these is Subway’s sweet onion sauce and which is mine? Hard to tell, right? That’s the point of recreating something you have a taste for in your home. The three and a half days I spent with my gastro distress a couple of weeks ago also resulted in me not eating much of anything. At [...] Please let this be the last round of freezing temps. I have tomatoes and peppers and eggplants and flowers and all sorts of other things to get growing outside. Mother Nature: you are not helping. On a side note, what is it with the long, long movie trailers that pretty much give you the entire movie [...] I’ve always been a news and information junkie. Like many other people, I would surf around news and aggregate sites, political blogs, and everything in between. After yet another round of yet another unbelievable goings on in the world, I decided to try ignoring the news for a day. I don’t watch news on the [...] When you have hundreds of servers at a NOC somewhere, and you’ve been around for going on nine years now, there is no getting around the fact that you will end of with a bunch of dead hardware over time: servers where the motherboards have fried, the power supplies have shot themselves, disk drives that [...] Before I was stricken with that nasty bug, I had harvested some broccoli and carrots from the garden. We’re ready for our closeup, Mr. DeMille. Don’t forget us! I figure you shouldn’t leave fresh vegetables all cleaned up with nowhere to go. Einstein agrees. You can tell. What to make? We were feeling like a little stirfry: carrots and [...] I spent the day today Getting Things Done. This is an important and necessary kind of day, especially after being reduced to virtually nothing productive for three days in a row. First up, the ENT who did my surgery. It’s amazing to think about it now, but this July will be the fourth year out from [...] For the past couple of days, I’ve been laid low by some kind of viral thingy – gastro, from how it feels/felt. Tuesday morning, I finally went to bed around 1 AM or so. It took about 30 minutes to get to sleep, and then once again, I was awake, somewhere around 4 AM, feeling [...] Spent a bit of time outside, the sun on my face, enjoying the fresh air warmed by the magic of a turning season. The carrots went in the frames in early October, as seed, not transplants. By this time, even with the cooler weather, I figured most, if not all, should be completely ready to come [...] I had plans today, I really did. Gorgeous day, which means outside time, in the garden. As it turned out, Mom and I wound up taking a short hop to Whole Foods, to look at chicken – comparing costs of organic chicken from various places to the pricing from our source in Lake City – and [...] This is what happens to my hands in very cold weather. Those are cracks. Yes, they hurt. Yes, they bleed. Luckily for me, extreme cold doesn’t last very long here, and this will clear up in no time. On tap today: more bread. Enough for another three loaves of bread. One of those loaves is now down to [...] |
