Weasel's Journey: October 2014
http://www.weaselsjourney.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 9, 2014. Cooking Club September 2014. Last spring my Cooking Club was looking for a new cookbook. One of our members brought her copy of My Beverly Hills Kitchen: Classic Southern Cooking with a French Twist. By Alex Hitz as a suggestion. I perused its beautiful pictures and delicious sounding recipes and began to read the introduction. Details of the author's childhood sounded familiar, so I glanced back at his name on the cover and was startled to realize, "I know this guy! Dessert: D...

http://www.weaselsjourney.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 20, 2013. Vivian and the Rudolph show. Vivian loves Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. Not just at Christmas, but all year 'round. She has several Rudolph t-shirts and books, and she frequently watches the Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. Movie on her iPod. Lo and behold, this year Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer: the Musical. After the show Vivian was able to interact with some of the cast members. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Pictured above, starting in upper left and moving clockwise:.

Weasel's Journey: September 2013
http://www.weaselsjourney.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. A couple of funny Vivian stories. Vivian at a recent pep rally (which she calls a "pepperoli"). Last week Vivian's teacher let me know that Vivian had refused to do her work one day but had instead fallen to the floor and pitched a fit. When Vivian got home from school, I said to her sternly, "Vivian, Mommy is VERY sad when you don't do your work." She looked at me and replied, "Vivian is happy.". Such a funny girl.

Weasel's Journey: June 2013
http://www.weaselsjourney.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Vivian and the magic paper machine. Vivian loves to color. She can spend hours entertaining herself coloring pictures. Often Vivian requests Robert or me to draw an outline for her (a happy dog, a sleepy sun, three frogs, two flowers, etc.), but she will also draw three things herself (a sun, a moon and an apple - same shape, different color). Such a funny, but resourceful, girl! Coloring a "sleepy sun". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Maui, Hawaii USA. Schwangau, Bavaria Germany.

Weasel's Journey: January 2014
http://www.weaselsjourney.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. What's for dinner and Vivian strikes again. Determined not to let January 2014 come and go without one post from me! In the most recent issue of Bon Appetit. Next time I would buy pre-cut butternut squash (Central Market sometimes has this in their produce section) or chop the squash in advance. Perhaps next time I might be more adept at peeling and chopping butternut squash, too, and hasten things along that way. Winter Squash Carbonara with Pancetta and Sage. Heat oil in a lar...

Weasel's Journey: February 2013

Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Valentine Luncheon 2013: part I. The invitation. Quote from Thomas Jefferson: "Friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life.". My crystal is Waterford Lismore and is the pattern I chose when Robert and I married in 1987. Close-up of dining room flowers. I'm not sure the picture fully conveys how exquisite these were. The dusty miller mixed with the roses, tulips and orchids was absolutely beautiful. Close-up of living room flowers. Valentine Lun...

Weasel's Journey: A movie recommendation and my current favorite thing to make for dinner.
http://www.weaselsjourney.com/2014/09/a-movie-recommendation-and-my-current.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2014. A movie recommendation and my current favorite thing to make for dinner. Long time, no post! I'm going to try to get back in the blogging habit. Thanks to those who emailed and encouraged me to post again. This summer a Cooking Club friend invited me to see the movie Chef. Will be released on DVD (linked below left) on September 30th. The soundtrack (below right) is also great. I prepared the version from the movie once and then found Ina Garten's rendition of the same recipe.
