It’s been very cold here the last week or so…. And our furnace / boiler / chauffage is not working. That means that we don’t have heat. Okay, to be honest we have some heat. We have the fireplace and the wood-burner in the kitchen. And every time the furnace repair guy comes it works for awhile so we have sporadic heat from the radiators. Actually, he has no idea … Continue reading →

One cannot know until one sends it off into cyberspace. The problem I was dealing with this week has been resolved. There were technical issues that I thought were beyond my capabilities but I tackled them anyway. Further research uncovered that … Continue reading →
My s-i-l sent me a screen shot of what the posts look like: ��}w�6�����@��ȮE��oّs’n��l�����6LJ”!�6E�$e[i�]���k��bof� %�T���w6��H��0<{������{Ŧ��=�y�X�~r���+��p�w,�a��� sMo2�pO�������aş@�88h4�IP���=��g�����?hZ�` �`��”�{�7�4�cP|��mX����<�r�>z6㱹cM�0�������4i�tϜ�a���7��Uf�^̽xX�q�x:���cq�^j��Ď�j�e�|h��*� But longer, of course.

Actually, he’s been taking a more active interest in the pre-cooking… finding marinades and brines for us to try. Naturally, I modify them as I thinks suits us, but the underlying recipes have been great. To this one, for example, I added a few spices and butterflied the tenderloin. The recipe called for … Continue reading →
The problem, not that I’ve had time to ponder it a bit more, is that I haven’t been shopping lately. I’m not referring to the shopping (groceries)…. I do the shopping every week. I’m referring to shopping, as in retail therapy. More on that later…. First…. They’re here…… The zucchini, I mean.
