February 26, 2007. Sheddy or not, here I come! Spring is still struggling to be reborn. I see reports of winter storms in the east, and it's been cold and rainy here.

January 29, 2008. New food blog, too! And, since I'm advertising new stuff I've recently acquired, I'd also like to announce my brand-new food blog.

http://reluctantremodeler.blogspot.com/2008/01/snow-in-eugene.html
January 28, 2008. Apparently, it's the most snow in 10 years. We're bunkered down in the house, burning wood, eating chili. And pretending that it's worse! The picture was taken first thing Sunday morning, and it did snow all day, but by now it's mostly melted. It was fun while it lasted, though. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

January 1, 2008. Though there's not a single southern thing about me, and I usually make Japanese ozoni.

July 31, 2007. Lookee what I got for my birthday! All my dreams have come true. It's one of the only interesting-yet-simple modern porch flush-mount porch lights out there for a halfway decent price. I like the entire Hollywood Hills collection. It's too late now, but I'm curious - have you purchased lighting products online, and if so, where? Would you recommend the vendor?

April 30, 2007. The half-bath needs much more work - a complete rehab. We are annoyed by this, since it's a tiny room. We spent all of last week renovating what we could. We patched holes and the horrible gaps around the sink plumbing, prepped and painted the walls, and replaced the bathroom hardware, toilet seat, curtains and medicine cabinet. Here's a before and after shot:. April 28, 2007. Fortification fridays - mediterranean sea bass. A handful of good black olives. 1/2-1 cup tomato sauce. Preheat o...
