Ten achievements of 2011: ( 2011 was the year I... )

lyriendel asked me to supply this recipe, because towk, who [it turns out] normally hates chili, approved heartily of this on Sunday night. Admittedly, it's not very chili-ish when it's done, despite consisting entirely of meat, beans, and spices. But it was good -- and the most complicated part of it was looking in 3 different supermarkets for the hechshered ( Read more... )

I got a Zipcar to go to today's wedding (Methuen this afternoon and Medford tonight), so if anyone needs a ride from Cambridge/Somerville, let me know by noon. :-) E-mail should work, or call me if you like. My home phone number (no, I have no cell) is listed, or hereI meant to make this offer earlier, but I am lame. Fortunately, though, not too ( Read more... )

Didn't get over to contra dancing at MIT tonight, as I had hoped. oh well... maybe at the VFW soon; this Thursday is out (rehearsal) but the following one could conceivably work (ooh, and I'm taking that Friday off to go to Albacon; that could be a plan ( Read more... )

Made potato kugel to take to cthulhia's. Everyone raved about it, yay; I think the rosemary was a good addition. I hadn't been to cthulhia's house before, and apart from being a beautiful space, it is infused everywhere with cool and interesting things -- like a peek into the interior of cthulhia's mind. It was a very enjoyable morning (er, afternoon) and ( Read more... )
