Today, I made zucchini muffins (with peanut butter chips), buttermilk scones, and cheddar chive scones ( Read more... )

- I did make the raisin scones, and they rocked. I also made the glaze, and it was sooo good! I put some in a squeeze bottle to bring with me to the Girls' Night, and accidentally left it there, 2/3 full. I hope Tammy has it in her fridge, and I'll get it next time I head over there ( Read more... )

- Shavuot starts tonight; I'd love to remember to light candles, even though it doesn't get dark until 9 or something. I'd probably light before heading out for the cheesecake and discussion this evening at shul. I will skip the vast majority of the cheesecake, and I seriously hope the discussion is interesting. I don't know if any of my ( Read more... )

I did not review the plan before getting into the weekend, but I think it all went accordingly ( Read more... )

March got away from me? It's only March ... 9th, yet it feels like it's been a very long time since February, or something. It could be that I'm just not getting enough sleep, or enough rest, or I'm having a lot of experiences and not spending time thinking, reflecting, certainly writing? Whatever; I'm not getting some things I need, including ( Read more... )

I have the monster of zucchinis, though they are a little smaller than that one summer at camp. Anyway, since only I know what that means, I'd say my two monsters are as long as my forearm but thicker. I've had a bunch of smaller ones as well, reasonably sized like you'd find in a farm store. I made zucchini bread (my mom's recipe, and more like ( Read more... )

I went looked again for a hamentashen recipe that would not make too dry a cookie, or too sweet, or too whatever: that mythical "just right" recipe. I found a nice cheat wherein you use 1 boxed cake mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 c orange juice, and 2.5 c flour. Mix, make hamentashen, bake 10-12 minutes at 350 ( Read more... )

Having signed the document and paid the deposit to have the wedding ceremony and reception at a hotel in town, I am telling myself to not think about wedding planning this week. I find myself looking at the topic, mentally, and letting it be [over there] for now. This is okay ( Read more... )

- I celebrated my first Canada Day on July 1st, and spent July 4th at work for the first time ever. Greegan took me down to Steveston (a neighborhood in Richmond, where the town actually started and expanded from there) for the annual Salmon Day Festival and parade. I insisted we get there early, having gone to the website and seen that they had ( Read more... )
