We Live in a Plugged in World

Icon Written by on March 15, 2009 – 8:00 pm

I was at the spa the other day using the pool, the steam room, the jacuzzi. I had set aside that time to relax and unwind and maybe drink a cup of tea or two in the process. When I arrived, I saw a 20-something woman sitting in the waiting room restlessly flipping through a [...]

Boudin - the San Francisco Sourdough Icon

Icon Written by on March 14, 2009 – 4:06 am

The trip to San Francisco happened last week from the 4th - 5th (that was for my own notes and remembrance!) but I haven’t written a post about this place until now. Why is that? It’s because I didn’t understand something. I couldn’t figure out why I liked it…

We almost always had a computer around. When I [...]

I love working from home. My office is in front of this big window with a nice view of the forest behind the house. Sometimes, I can see squirrels moving back and forth like a skittering tight rope dancerĀ  across the power lines. One time it was carrying a plastic bag - I dislike those [...]

Crepes for dinner, crepes for dessert

Icon Written by on March 8, 2009 – 4:17 am

Yesterday I made a whole pile of crepes that we all did different things with. My husband likes to take them and stack them up like pancakes and top them with real maple syrup (an expensive find here in CA but New England habits are hard to break). My dad and I each had a [...]

My husband and I have a long history of time spent drinking Irish Coffees. Our favorite place to go when we lived in Germany was a little place in Starnberg called Cappuccino where the owner considered making Irish Coffees to be an art form. Watching him make them could hypnotize [...]

The Beginning - Or is It?

Icon Written by on March 1, 2009 – 6:26 am

I feel as if I am beginning something. I don’t know what yet, but the direction that my blog has taken makes me feel as if I am on the cusp of something - grand? No, probably not. But definitely creative. Whatever I do, I’ll be creative. I’ll create. Cakes. Jewelry. Maybe I’ll learn how [...]
