The high temperature today is supposed to be 43 degrees fahrenheit, and the constant morning rain turned to snow at around 11:00. When the snow stopped falling a few hours later, I suited up in my long underwear and rain outerwear and coaxed Joda out for a walk. Then I picked as many fruits of [...]

Drunken Noodles

Homemade drunken noodles! They tasted great, and took less time to prepare (once we had all the ingredients) than waiting for the delivery person from New Panda.
A trip to an Asian grocery
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged food, travel on September 17, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Back in 2007, when I lived in Seattle for a few months as part of my library school experience, I lived a few blocks from a large grocery store called HT Market. At least, I thought it was a regular grocery store– you know, the kind I was used to. But a trip over there [...]
Oops. Or, the perils of inattention

As you can see, Joda is demonstrating what happens when you don’t search your zucchini patch closely enough. I knew on Thursday evening that there should be one ready for picking, but I couldn’t find it and assumed that Bo must have beaten me to it. It stayed on the vine until Friday, and got [...]

I have a confession: I’ve never been a successful gardener. Okay, maybe that is a well-known fact to most people who know me, so there’s no need to say it so conspiratorially. My gardening failures did not result from a lack of effort, though I’ve learned this year that the effort required to grow a [...]

Yesterday we drove up to Boulder for a spring celebration at a small family-owned farm on the outskirts of town. The 63rd Street Farm is on the east edge of Boulder Municipal airport, which is how Bo happened to find it one day last month while I was at the university hobnobbing with the engineering [...]
Kitchen Garden

With all the gardening activity going on around here (both at home and in the area), I started thinking about how nice it would be to have a kitchen garden with herbs in it. So, Bo built a small box at the edge of the deck near the back door and we planted rosemary, cilantro, [...]
Sunday morning at home
Posted in Home, tagged blog, food, Home on October 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
For all five years that I was a full-time park ranger and had to work on the weekend, I had this recurring daydream about the “lazy Sunday morning.” It would involve sleeping late, perhaps some reading in bed, a Sunday newspaper, coffee, and maybe a fire (if the season were appropriate). Certainly, there was nothing [...]
