Reflected Man: Respect My Authority!!
http://reflectedman.blogspot.com/2008/05/respect-my-authority.html
Always the one staring back from the glass. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. Have you ever wanted to have the power to create space and time? To force the universe to turn in your direction and to have even the power to control the way the planet spins on its very axis? Well I have this power! The manager nods and does some magical spell on their computers and said, "OK, here's what I've done, I've taken the amount you paid for the original computer and put it on a gift card for you, so you can use it for whatever...

The Book I'm Not Reading: September 2008
http://thebookimnotreading.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
The Book I'm Not Reading. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Great Composers All Around Us. And we didn't even know it! I just ran across this in the Grove Dictionary of Music:. By that definition, that means that any number of us who play Irish trad are great composers. Go us! Labels: definitions that unwittingly bring down the whole establishment. Saturday, September 6, 2008. Saturday Afternoon Procrastination Roundup. In the NYT the other day) and the other one needs not. To sound quite as hockey mom-ish.

The Book I'm Not Reading: May 2008
http://thebookimnotreading.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
The Book I'm Not Reading. Thursday, May 22, 2008. Some Food, and Kitty Hilarity (sort of). Once again, from my postings (or lack thereof), you'd think we haven't been eating, haven't been cooking, or both. Not quite true, although the last few weeks have passed in a blur that meant "catch as catch can" for most meals. J has also been making hummus a lot lately, and that's been a treat. Thursday, May 15, 2008. Need I say more? Except that Miss J just happened. To fly to San Francisco today for a conferenc...

The Book I'm Not Reading: April 2008

The Book I'm Not Reading. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Cabbage and Leek Gratin: SO Not Vegan. And it's not much of a looker, but it's delicious. I pulled this (almost) entire from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Suppers. Cookbook, which J's parents gave me for my birthday last year. Here it is with Deborah Madison's proportions, but mostly my prose:. 1 1/2 pounds green cabbage, Savoy if possible, chopped into 2" squares. 3 fat leeks, white parts only, quartered and chopped. 1/3 cup sour cream. So I wonder if su...

The Book I'm Not Reading: October 2010
http://thebookimnotreading.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
The Book I'm Not Reading. Thursday, October 7, 2010. So, without further ado, here's the apple/blueberry crisp I just made:. The stove light doesn't show it off to best advantage (nor does the iPhone camera), but it sure does taste good! Now, let's see- what did I do? And it's lovely. I'm going to have a plate of it with some cream if the cream hasn't gone off. If you want to make this and feel better measuring, it's in Bittman's How to Cook Everything. Wednesday, October 6, 2010. So, stay tuned for ADVE...

The Book I'm Not Reading: July 2008
http://thebookimnotreading.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Book I'm Not Reading. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. The last couple of weeks have been many and variegated. Which means that cooking successes don't get blogged about until much later, like the stew Lauren and I made at the hostel in Doolin. It was a little random- partly designed to use up ingredients- but it was fabulous:. 4 or 5 smallish regular potatoes. 2 medium sweet potatoes. And some garlic, sauteed in butter. 3 small red peppers, roasted. A little ground coriander. Thursday, July 3, 2008. In other...

The Book I'm Not Reading: June 2008
http://thebookimnotreading.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
The Book I'm Not Reading. Monday, June 30, 2008. Paddy Canny, RIP. I just got the news in this morning's email- no details yet, but he had been ill recently, and in hospital around the time Kitty Hayes died a couple of months ago. For those of you reading who aren't in the Irish trad scene, Paddy was a fiddler, and Kitty a concertina player. Both were of, as they say, an advanced age, and both were great musicians.). Friday, June 27, 2008. So this will be the short-attention-span-roundup. Since I got her...

The Book I'm Not Reading: Thursday Night Flotsam
http://thebookimnotreading.blogspot.com/2010/09/thursday-night-flotsam.html
The Book I'm Not Reading. Thursday, September 16, 2010. And for those of you who hate the sliminess of okra, trust me and my Aunt Mary Margaret on this one: tomato takes care of the slime.). What else have I made this week? 1 Sentences, paragraphs, and a research proposal. 2 A trip to the Whole Foods in Hadley. 3 A hole in my silly dog pajamas. 4 Sore muscles from my first ever aerobics classes. 5 Some new friends? Too early to tell. 6 2 trips to Woodstar for their divine. 7 Many, many cups of tea.

The Book I'm Not Reading. Tuesday, February 3, 2009. Living with Miss Diss. You know, when you're writing a dissertation, blogging suddenly becomes a really distasteful thing to do- or at least, to me it does, because if I'm writing all day, writing more is about the last thing I want to do. But here I am. Guilt, perhaps? Haven't yet thought of it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Iron Fist of Love. Pleasure from the thorns. Notes from a Big(gish) Island.

The Book I'm Not Reading. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Waste Not, Want Not. It's the end of the summer, and the grad school stipend checks don't start again until September 15th, so I'm playing that game well known to grad students the world over: creative food combinations. It worked brilliantly the other night in the Dracula Pasta, and again tonight in the Cup of Leftover Rice Stakes. And now back to work. I am saying that I'm not busy- I just have a lot of stuff to do. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Initiall...
