What a portentous title for a blog post! Someone stop me before I start posting “top ten whatevers of 2012″ or “new year’s resolutions for 2013″ lists. So, no: not looking back, nor will I make promises I won’t keep. Load of bollocks, all that. What’s up today, New Year’s Eve? Later this afternoon I’ll [...]  We sent our Thanksgiving guests on their way with full bags and plastic containers, but we still have leftovers. Donna always says I don’t eat leftovers, but that’s not true. I do eat leftovers, especially pie, and I made sure we saved some for ourselves! I’m doing catch-up blogging this morning … i.e., leftovers … [...] Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, smoked brisket, turkey & gravy (cranberry sauce, alas, forgotten), Mandarin orange salad And I’m not even going to mention the deserts: Beth’s lovely cheesecake, pumpkin pie, apple pie.

Time to stop thinking [...] Consider the great gains we’ve made in this country: from universal suffrage to civil rights, from labor unions and protections for workers to minimum wages and unemployment insurance, from Social Security to Medicare, from free public education to womens’ athletics, from good highways to the postal system. If you follow the news you know that [...] My computer’s back from the shop, and what a pleasure it is to work on it again. Yesterday I typed a post on the other computer at Donna’s desk, where everything is six inches lower. I couldn’t get through a single sentence without making multiple typos. It didn’t help that she has her keyboard on [...] 2011 went out with a bang; 2012 came in with a boeuf … Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon. And if you think that sounds tortured, you should have seen me in the kitchen trying to make sense of the recipe! New Year's Day dinner: boeuf bourguignon, broccolini, potatoes Three Christmases back I gave Donna a [...] |
