Woke up early this morning, ready to run (normally have to start really early on Fridays, so as to be done my mid-length run before Eric leaves for work), only to find ice over the earth. It was a very thin layer, too thin for YakTrax to help, so I had to regroup, reassess…and [...]

That kind of appointment. Oh, well; the stirrups were warm, and I like my doctor. We had a nice chat, and she did the check quickly and with no discomfort for me, other than the token embarrassment of being in the requisite position.
But here’s something interesting: when I brought up to her that [...]

Elsewhere on these Internets, there was a discussion that came around to the idea of very, very spicy cookies. The original thought was to use them as a trick upon an unsuspecting person, but the more people talked about it, the more I couldn’t help thinking, “Mmmmmm. Sweet. Spicy. Want.”
I like [...]

SAM (talking about school): “Joshua told me that Ms. P. was mean, but she’s not. She’s nice! He just probably never met her.”
ME: “Sam, you have the ability to see the best in people. Not everybody does.”
SAM: “She really is nice.”
ME (hesitant): “You know, some people have trouble seeing that…”
SAM: “Yeah, bad [...]

Are you making them tonight? Are you heading to IHOP for their free pancake deal? Are you mystified, not knowing what I’m talking about?
Back in West Virginia, when I was an undergrad, our composition professor was also the choir director at the Episcopal church where Eric and I would eventually be [...]

Mind you, with the exception of the pasta (with which I am entirely uncreative and my “planning” involves jarred sauces, occasionally with vegetables added in), I have no specific plans for any of these. Any ideas will also be [...]

Eric makes greens that are divine. He braises them in vinegar, uses coriander seeds, mustard, fresh onion…they are heaven. I never enjoyed greens until he taught me to love them, and now I make every effort to enable him to make them as often as possible.
Tonight, we had kale. I ordered a [...]

In brief: I was due for a really bad run. But did it have to be this one?
In bullet point form:
- About 3″ of snow on the ground, drifting unpredictably.
- Icy snow blowing hard, making my face feel like it was bleeding and reducing visibility.
- Legs that felt tired from the get-go and never [...]

…but I don’t think it’s working. They’re now calling for 2-4 inches tonight, 2-4 tomorrow, and another inch tomorrow night. Now, l managed to scare it off last time, but everybody seems to be in agreement that we’re not getting off so lucky this time.
Ugh. I suppose that the best of the [...]

I made just a ton of bean soup yesterday. Misread, you see, and thought the original recipe was telling me to use a bag of beans – not, say, 1 cup of dry beans. A bag has three cups. I thought, therefore, that I was only doubling the recipe when I decided [...]
