Date night last night was short, but great. We unexpectedly had a babysitter when I unexpectedly got out of work early, so we made the most of it. This date night consisted of dinner and a movie. Because with me it's all about the food, even though we had barely an hour before the show … Continue reading Date night: Maine Diner and a Movie

Five foods for which I am thankful this year
In this month's issue, Cooking Light magazine's editor asks, "What in the food world are you thankful for?" This got me thinking about how I would answer this question. I had heard in the past that people's tastes change as they get older, but I had never believed it. In reflecting on this question, however, … Continue reading Five foods for which I am thankful this year

Book Club at Mekong Thai
This month's meeting was at Mekong Thai in Wells. The six of us met there at 6pm and were given a nice table by the windows, which they opened to give us some fresh air (a 65 degree evening in Maine in late October? Booyah!). The wait staff was lovely, solicitous, and helpful. Lemon for … Continue reading Book Club at Mekong Thai

Midlife crisis, part one: losing my mind
I was standing in the kitchen talking to my husband last week, and he told me he was irritated because of something I'd told him earlier in the week that turned out not to be true. What was it? I sure don't know. I didn't know then, and I don't know now. He remembered the … Continue reading Midlife crisis, part one: losing my mind

Girls’ Night

The men were out for the day so the females were left to our own pursuits. This is what my daughter … Continue reading Girls’ Night

The garden’s last gasp
So I went out to see what was left in the garden, and was surprised to find that there actually was something left. A handful of cherry tomatoes, a japanese eggplant, and the sole orange bell pepper that was produced by that plant. There is also some basil, beets, carrots...lettuce and spinach coming up that … Continue reading The garden’s last gasp
