http://www.themikestand.com/2006/12/when-christmas-is-last-thing-on-your.html
When Christmas is the Last Thing on Your Mind. Saturday, December 23, 2006. One year ago, The Lovely Wife went into labour. At least we thought. It was labour at the time. Younger son didn't come along until Christmas Eve, so as you can imagine, there's a bit of a story that takes us from the morning of the 23rd till the evening of the 24th. Dec 23rd: 0900 -. This occurs; use your imagination) and said to come back in three hours for another reading and application. Dec 23rd: 1200 -. Dec 23rd: 2030 -.

Did you know about brown butter? Did you know that if you just take a knob of butter and cook it in a small saucepan over medium heat, it will sizzle and then bubble and froth and then settle down and start to smell nutty and delicious? Did you know that if you then pour that brown butter into a bowl and let it cool for a while, it tastes like a deep, spicy caramel, and can be mixed with a bit of powdered sugar and milk to make the most delicious frosting? And if you knew, why didn't you tell me? In case...

Speak Into the Mike: And the House is Still Standing!
http://www.themikestand.com/2011/03/and-house-is-still-standing.html
And the House is Still Standing! Tuesday, March 15, 2011. The sun is out! The wind is blowing at a paltry 40km/h! Birds are singing frigidly in the bare March trees! Time-warp to now. some three months later. I knew that stay-at-homes did a lot of work, and that it would be challenging to have the Baby Girl every day of the week, and Five (middle child, younger son. damn, these nicknames are so confusing) for most of the week, while Seven ( SEVEN. HOW DID HE GET TO BE SEVEN? Other things I learned:.

Ultra Fine Food: Saucy Pizza
http://ultrafinefood.blogspot.com/2010/06/saucy-pizza.html
Sounds a little bit naughty, doesn't it? Full disclosure: I cheated a bit. The crust is from scratch, and couldn't be easier. The sauce, however, was from a can. It was a little too sweet, and next time I'm totally going all the way and making my own. But importantly, there was loads of it, probably enough for two pizzas, but all piled onto a single pie. Yum. Pizza Crust: Really Simple Pizza Dough from Smitten Kitchen. I used half whole-wheat flour). We topped half with bondiola. Search Ultra Fine Food.

Speak Into the Mike: Tri hard, have fun.
http://www.themikestand.com/2010/09/tri-hard-have-fun.html
Tri hard, have fun. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Here's a bit of a late update: Last month, I competed in my first Triathlon. As part of the Wolfville Triathlon Festival, they held a Just for Fun triathlon (the fun was un-missable - it was printed on everything! Click to read his race report) and Bicycle Boy. I was oddly calm, possibly too calm to be taking this seriously, Just For Fun moniker notwithstanding. For your benefit, no pictures of me post-swim. You're welcome. That's me around the middle th...

Whatever you do, don't click this link. And if you DO click that link, definitely don't buy the book. I'm warning you. If you DO buy the book, don't check your mailbox eagerly every day waiting for it to arrive. When it does arrive, please don't skip straight to page 93. I mean it this time. The fleur de sel that will be involved. That would be scandalous. For reals, don't even consider. I'm eating a brownie. It is good. That is all. January 10, 2011. Mark the date. Don't say I didn't warn you. And so, d...

Fruit of the Day: Tumbo. While most of our food shopping so far has been done at outdoor markets, we did stop in at one supermarket in La Paz. That's where we picked up the tumbo. It's small and oval, a lovely pale yellow, and very subtly fuzzy. I cut a tumbo open length-wise to discover a very pretty orange, passionfruit-like cluster of seeds and pulp. (Turns out another name for tumbo is banana passionfruit - how appropriate! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Most importantly, there's always room for dessert.
