best dinner was best
Last night I set up baked French toast for this morning. I got one of those small boules they sell at Market Basket and cut it up into chunks. Then I beat a dozen eggs, added a couple of big spoonfuls of brown sugar, a squirt of vanilla, a tiny bit of salt, and a glug of skim milk ( Read more... ) -
yogurt and granola
So here is how I make yogurt. Some people like using a crockpot; I prefer the stovetop because my pot won't crack in an ice bath, plus it's easier to clean.
Things you need:- Big pot
- Thermometer -- I use an instant read thermometer, as I broke my candy thermometer
- Jars -- I use 6 oz Ball or Mason jars (they might be 8 oz), as they're single-serving ( Read more... )

So. Work is getting busier. I'm getting more directly involved with projects, to the point that I'll be checking an estimator's email on Monday, looking for bids coming in. I like it, but remembering which sub I'm chasing for which job is a little overwhelming. As I figure out how to frame the information in my head for retrieval, it'll get better ( Read more... ) -

Worry and grief are exhausting, ( Read more... ) -
whoo golly
So this week happened, and it was Good. I LOVE my new job, because it involves the sort of detective work I adore. I do a lot of tracking down of information, whether it's to see when the most recent qualification form was submitted (and dammit, I forgot to order a date stamp today) or to discover whether or not a subcontractor even still exists (I ( Read more... ) -

boosting the signal
I don't know if too many people I know will be able to take advantage of this, but my sensei, Kevin Pence, is running a one-month women's self-defense class starting April 1. The class is Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-10 am, and costs $99. The hope is that this will develop into an on-going thing, but for now, it's through the end of April. If my ( Read more... ) -
help tasha clear out her kitchen!
My mom gave me a lovely new set of dishes for Christmas, to replace the perfectly-good-but-heartily-sick-of-it set I've had for the last 20 years. Because they're perfectly good, they're up for grabs.
