That Was Really Nice
Someone scooped the snow from my sidewalk. I can't think of who it might have been. I don't have neighbors on either side at the moment. The people further south would rather turn me in for not scooping it than anything else. The only likely candidate I can see is the halfway house on the corner. Over that last year I've been cleaning clutter ( Read more... ) -
Burrrrrrrr Howdy!
Burrrrrrrr Howdy! Current temp -3F. With the wind figured in the temperature outside is -22F.
I did some holiday shopping yesterday just as the temperature dipped. I doubt if the cold was responsible, but there was no one at the stores. I went into The Gap, American Eagle Outfitters, and Old Navy and was the only shopper there. I didn't ( Read more... ) -
It's Official!
I'm losing my mind. I lost my glasses sometime thursday or friday. I couldn't find them anywhere all weekend. This morning I found them in the oddest place.... on my face. I have no idea where they came from. I suspect they morphed into an alternate universe and some conjunction of the space/time continum brought them back today. -
Winter Escape
I went to the Sheldon Museum of Art’s Winter Escape last night. They promised good food, great music, and beautiful decorations. The food was indeed very good. The caterer brought her ever-famous spice cookies. These are the most delicate and soft cookies I’ve ever eaten. (I know I’m not supposed to have wheat, but these are special magical ( Read more... ) -
Wheat-free Pie Crust
I have a holiday party to attend this weekend so I thought I'd bring pie. Usually I just suck it up and make a standard pie crust and then not eat any. This time I decided to make it wheat-free so I could have a slice.

Visions of Sugarplums
I came across this wheat-free recipe for Sugarplums this weekend. The oldest recipe for Sugarplums dates to the 16th century, but this one is more modern. It's very simple to make if you have a cuisinart/food processor and is fairly healthy.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole almonds (you can also substitute walnuts)
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp grated orange zest

Another Try at Wilderness Park
I took Saturday to hike Wilderness Park. I came close to hiking the entire trail, but ended up taking the wimpout trail for the last couple of miles because my bladder wouldn't hold. I'd have scampered into the bushes, but the Jamaica trail washed out over the summer and they've rerouted it through the park. That means that a biker will whizz ( Read more... )
