Where is the sun?

Last updated on: May 27, 2011 at 10:48 am By Cynthia Schrage

Image via Wikipedia I turn off the heat in the apartment at the beginning of May, because I find it ridiculous to do the heat-at-night-but-not-during-the-day dance. It seems sort of offensive to have to pay for heat when it’s no problem to just throw on another blanket during the night. But here it is, the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, and I’ve got a heavy winter sweater on during the day because it’s only 50 degrees out! The lettuce is... Read more

The Weekly Yum-ster!

Last updated on: May 15, 2011 at 8:20 pm By Cynthia Schrage

This week’s successful forays into the realm of dining excellence included: Laurel’s Loaf for Learning Millie’s Whole Wheat Challah Spinach Pesto (recipe below) Gingerbread Waffles Honey-Oat Pain de Mie And this CD (pictured at left), The True Lover’s Farewell: Appalachian Folk Ballads by Custer LaRue is excellent listening music for cooking—and eating! Spinach Pesto: Ingredients: Lots of clean, fresh spinach (at least a large colander full), stems removed 3 garlic cloves, cut in several pieces small handful of pecans (or... Read more

Living the Laura Ingalls Life: Whole Grain Breadmaking

Last updated on: May 11, 2011 at 7:13 pm By Cynthia Schrage

I’ve got about a dozen things going today, including making some bread. My all time favorite bread recipe book is the Laurel’s Kitchen Bread Book, and I’m making the Loaf for Learning, which is the first recipe I ever learned for bread, and good enough for me for everyday. Honestly, it’s been good enough for everyone I’ve ever given a loaf to for everyday, too. Even poor home made bread is so much better than store-bought that I’ Of course,... Read more

Editing, Writing, and Proofing—Oh My!

Last updated on: April 26, 2011 at 10:56 am By Cynthia Schrage

I’ve been called upon to do one of my favorite things: proofread my daughter’s final papers for school. I really enjoy this. She’s a great writer already, so reading her papers is a pleasure, especially compared to the writing of other students, regardless of their level of education. I’ve honestly been quite surprised at the dismal writing that most students offer their professors. Today, she is finishing a paper on gender roles and stereotypes as demonstrated in Junot Díaz’ The... Read more

A day without sunshine…

Last updated on: April 25, 2011 at 4:59 pm By Cynthia Schrage

Image by Old Shoe Woman via Flickr is a day in LaGrange. Another day of rain. We had a two day respite, and now we’re supposed to get up to one half inch of rain every day this week. Easter dinner was great though. Ham, mashed potatoes, pasta salad, corn, deviled eggs, rolls, jello and dirt pudding. Yum.

Blooming!

Last updated on: April 23, 2011 at 3:18 pm By Cynthia Schrage

These are the flowers I planted last fall at Chris and Vicki’s! Daffodils and Hyacinths. Just in time for Easter, although it’s supposed to rain again tomorrow. Yuck. Too bad Easter isn’t today. Planting bulbs is always an exercise in faith. You have these dry, onion-like objects, that you put into the ground in the fall (for spring-blooming flowers, that is) and they stay in the ground all winter long, during the cold and snow. There’s always the chance that... Read more

Making cupcakes

Last updated on: April 22, 2011 at 2:27 pm By Cynthia Schrage

I bought Sophia, as a Christmas present, something called “The Original Cupcake Baker.” Today, Good Friday, we’re using it for the first time. We’re making the cupcakes for Easter, instead of Lamb Cake. I was tempted to put coconut on them, but Sophia says her boyfriend won’t eat them then (he hates coconut). I was a little worried, because at Brett’s, they don’t have a cake rack, and I forgot to bring one. But fortunately, the small diameter of the... Read more

Stuff Catholics Like: Palm Sunday

Last updated on: April 21, 2011 at 10:50 am By Cynthia Schrage

Oh yeah, bring on the Palms. It’s the craft of crafts, for the King of Kings! Hosanna! Back when I was a kid, and went to a Catholic parochial school where actual sisters taught, there was a whole palm crafting culture going. Nowadays, most people just seem to take them home and tuck them behind their crucifix or portraits of dead relatives. But not I! I actually make stuff out of palms—the way I was taught in a small way,... Read more
