Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Thursday, March 31, 2005. Damn those catchy female ditties. You know what I hate? Well, maybe hate. Is too strong a word, but still. I hate those catchy little songs that are all about girls and how great it is to be one; not that I would want to be a girl, but you just can't help singing the little songs to yourself: the infectious tunes and kicky lyrics are like a bad virus you just can't get rid of. To wit:. What I hate is that these little tunes get into my.

the bokey chronicles: From one lover to the next
http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/from-one-lover-to-next.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. From one lover to the next. Ah, the loveliness of Stupice is surpassed by Purple Haze, a relatively new cross of three different varieties that is about enough to make me swoon. The only problem is that these babies are pretty small, about the same size as Stupice or a little smaller; bigger than a large marble, smaller than a golf ball. Oddly colored but deliciously rich in tomato taste. I will definitely be growing these again. Oh, HAIL no!

the bokey chronicles: When did I become my grandmother?
http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/when-did-i-become-my-grandmother.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. When did I become my grandmother? I'm wondering when this happened. I am pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to Thanksgiving. My mother was to a degree, but she would always play around with some element of the dinner (or in her case, luncheon) and do something different with vegetables, dessert, et cetera. Maybe it was because. I don't like sweet potatoes that much either, and the only. Potatoes and gravy are also a must, and I m...

the bokey chronicles: Rufus Wainwright plays the Bardavon Opera House
http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/rufus-wainwright-plays-bardavon-opera.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Rufus Wainwright plays the Bardavon Opera House. It was a magical night at the beautifully restored Bardavon Opera House. In downtown Poughkeepsie as Rufus Wainwright took the stage with nothing more than a grand piano and two guitars. As charming as he is talented, Rufus greeted the audience and got right to business singing Beauty Mark. Featuring accompaniment on french horn by Louis Schwadron of the band Sky White Tiger that had opened...

the bokey chronicles: Remembering our oldest
http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/remembering-our-oldest.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Sunday, May 20, 2012. Bernice in 1998, not long after we brought her home. Smart and sensitive brain that understood much. Over the next couple of months, I hope to continue to post here (even though I haven't in such a long time) as a means of catharsis and healing. We looked at each other at the same time and said, 'yep, she's the one.'. Those people will never know what a wonderful, wonderful opportunity they missed. What we were after. And then we were home.

the bokey chronicles: A little time in the garden
http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/little-time-in-garden.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. A little time in the garden. So I wanted you to see what's been going on in my garden. I especially wanted Pua, Averie and Caris to see the flowers they just missed when they were here! So here we go:. These glads are white with pale lavender trim. The glad in the back is an electric pink with a bright yellow throat. And the pink callas, of course. These bloomed just after Pua and the girls left, wouldn't you know. That's all for now. As for...

the bokey chronicles: Let them eat cake
http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/let-them-eat-cake.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Sunday, October 17, 2010. Let them eat cake. At any rate, I found a recipe for the cake that sounded good and I adapted it with some ingredients from other recipes that also sounded good. And I found a recipe online for a buttercream that sounded like it could be good with a little modification. Well, the cake batter tasted good when it was ready to be put into the pan, so that was a good sign. Jess and I don't eat bad stuff like this as a rule. So here's what I did:.

http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-cruel-cruel-summer.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Thursday, September 10, 2009. It's a cruel, cruel summer. Summer is done and fall's chill is in the air. The days are markedly shorter; mornings are later to have the sky fully lit, evenings are sooner to make the sun disappear. The cold wind is blowing the sunshine right out of the sky. Make it again this year, I'm almost certain to never make it again it after that. And if I don't make it, all these tomatoes I've slaved over go to waste. It's infuriating. About tha...

http://bokeyblog.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Sunday, June 26, 2005. I should do this for a living. Nah. While I was there, I was looking around at some of the pre-made arrangements. Most of them were yawners. The cheapest ones, which were very stark, were $49.99. The ones that were the size I was interested in making were $109.99 and up. $109.99? Anyway, as I was putting the arrangement together, I was thinking, "is there anything gayer than this? Posted by Marc @ 7:57 PM. Links to this post. As she clipped the...

Cooking, canines, kvetching.and more. Saturday, February 26, 2005. Okay, first things first.the cooktop finally got hooked up on Monday, and now the installation is complete - finally. It works like a dream. Jess had to light all the burners to show you just how great. But it's more than just the firepower, it's the ingenious design of the grates. As you see here, the grates are completely continuous across the cooktop, allowing movement of pots and pans completely and effortlessly across the cooktop.
