gettin’ fancy with the spices…
deep thoughts

gettin’ fancy with the spices…

Why, oh why, did Disney/Pixar have to go and make a new movie about French cooking and Paris and a protagonist named Remy (one of my very favorite names in this whole world, btw) and make said main character a RAT??? What were they THINKING???

Note to Pixar/Disney:
Paris + Gourmet Food + Cat, Dog, and/or Platypus = good film
Paris + Gourmet Food + Rat = Wrong, Wrong, Wrongity, Wrong

Make me smile…

–GameBoy atttending an all-nite school party to reward students who’d read 50+ books extra-curricularly this past year. Games, movies, pizza, oh my!

–The superb garden-fresh ciabatta lunches that John‘s prepared for me daily for the past 2 weeks.

–End-of-the-year concerts for both kiddoes. Some marvelous flute and cello music. Beaming parents all ’round.

–TobyKitty curled up in a couch-cushion tunnel next to me as I write and grade papers all day.

–Getting the giggles as I administered a Final Exam yesterday morning (trying to cover it with some dry coughing). Having to leave the classroom momentarily to regain my composure.

–Giving my piano to Dora-chan for safekeeping. The pleasure of knowing that she will give it much love and attention while I am distracted with my dissertation for the next couple of years.

–Making Bonny’s Blackberry Crumble with berries just picked in our garden.

Blackberry Crumble (recipe from this website)

* 2 cups washed blackberries
* 2/3 cup sugar (Note: I used half the sugar and it still tasted great)
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or juice of 1 lemon
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/8 teaspoon salt

Put blackberries in a 1-quart baking dish with half of the sugar. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cream butter, remaining sugar, flour, and salt together; sprinkle over berries. Bake blackberry crumble at 350° for 40 minutes.

Serve warm or cold with cream, ice cream, or dessert sauce. Blackberry crumble dessert recipe serves 4.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
