Today beheld Cooper, that dreamy little shrimp, oh, and fried shrimp too, mmm, mmm, good. Bowen, Stace, and Coop came over to celebrate Stacey’s pre-birthday and Bowen’s graduation. Bowen doesn’t eat meat (but does eat fish), and it’s a gorgeous day and I knew we could hang by the pool, so I thought, hmmmm, something…

Warm cherry cake and rhubarb bars! Got the recipes from gold-metal baker Suz – thank you, honey! (Recipes posted in comments, below…) Ohhhhhhhh, my shoulder/neck, ouch. Twitching with spasms. I did a real job on it, lovely. Do not drive up on my right side, you are most definitely in a blind spot… I did…

Back to the fried walleye and warm pasta salad. Had it for lunch today, with time to snap a quick pic. Yum. (Recipes posted in comments, below.) So for hijinxing with my minxes last night we had our first call-in guest, from NYC, a comedienne, talk-show host, and advice guru named Robynne Kaamil. She rocks!!!…

Fried walleye tonight, so damn good. Don’t have time to say much more than that, it’s late, late, late already. What with picture person, groceries, a quick walk, picking up Nathan at school, a trip to the Humane Society to drop off donations, back here to make dinner (walleye!), and then over to Suz’s for…

Rain, rain went away! Woo hoo! At least for today. I jumped right on my bike this morning to finally take the bike ride I’d been itching to take for days. Fabulous. Then I did my picture person prep outside, yeah, it was pretty rough out there, 75 and sunny. Perhaps I dozed for a…

Jacques Pepin and the Baseball Moms on the menu tonight. Baseball Moms first, actually, so a beer and girlie laughs as an appetizer of sorts. Then home to whip up Jacques’ instant beef tenderloin stew, which I’ve meant to make for quite awhile and am just now getting around to. Lovely, simple recipe. Saute/steam the…

All quiet on the Midwestern-front today. Tired people in this house. John briefly napped, I seriously napped, it was awesome. We had a nice little brunch, broiled crab salad sandwiches. We had ours sans egg but they’re mighty tasty with an over-easy egg on top, I must say. (Recipe posted in comments, below.) Add a…

Today I’ll be brewing up a big batch of Boy Soup… Nine 10-year old boys will soon be here, swimming, despite pouring rain and a high, if we’re lucky, of 55 degrees. Ack! But as all the parents agreed, the boys don’t give a hoot about the weather, so in they’ll go! The heat’s cranked…

Stacey? Stephanie? Sheesh, we’ve always looked like each other, but going through these photos yesterday it did hit me that there’s no doubt we’re related. Ha. And that’s an honor for me, let me tell you. I don’t have Stacey’s cheekbones, unfortunately, or cool arched eyebrows. Or slim hips. Those she got from our mom….

La, la, lovely! Oh, Spring, sigh. After I showered, I gave myself a spritz of Frederic Malle En Passant (lilac, heavenly scent) and a dab of Christian Dior Diorissimo (the classic, lily of the valley, also heavenly). Nothing over the top, but I do smell girlie and like spring, sitting here in my office. As…
