A hearty thank you to Cindy Crawford and her mole! I don’t look much like Cindy, but people (sometimes; not that often, really, but bless their hearts when they do…) tell me I do because I have a mole too (hers is on the left, mine on right, both in this posting and apparently in…

Here’s the struggle. Clearly, I love food, love wine. LOVE them. (And I don’t much care that the Pope recently revealed his theory that the word love is overused and has therefore lost its meaning; then again, I’m not Catholic or anything close to it, so I wouldn’t tend to care what the Pope has…

Nathan’s home with me today, with a fever and feeling tired. I went to check in with him after posting last night and he was sound asleep, at 6:50 p.m. Had fallen asleep doing his homework! Definitely not usual 9-year-old-boy behavior. So today he’s lyin’ low, watching a little TV, and finishing up the homework…

A nod to a few of my senses today. Cookbooks, good ones, for me, fill all my senses. I love to page through them, look at the pictures, read the background stories, imagine how the food will look, taste and smell, and if I s.t.r.e.t.c.h this, how it will sound (?) OK, maybe not all…

In the name of moderation, I have an appointment with this piece of equipment today. A Russian kettlebell. I was introduced to Russian kettlebells, or KBs, by my stepmom, Susanna, who I believe was introduced to them at her health club. She raved a bit about them, so I looked them up on the web,…

Used my herb butter to make myself a little brunch – nothing new here, I’ve written this before – egg over-easy on toast (cooked the egg in a little herb butter, put a little on the toast) with chopped arugula and scallions. Salt and pepper. Glass of champagne. Delicious. Aaaah, Sunday morning. Love it. With…

Whew. Home from Willmar (not fun driving on Highway 12, in the dark, in the rain). Amanda’s shower was fun and cozy at LuLu Bean’s coffee house, if you happen to be in Willmar looking for a cup of coffee, go there, it’s adorable. Amanda (pictured here with her future mother-in-law, my aunt Mary) got…

OK, I’m tired today – too much partying! Awww, isn’t that sad? This really is not my usual routine, at all. Which is probably why I’m so tired! Last night’s neighborhood women’s association meeting was as fun as always. Hosted in the beautiful home of my neighbor Marie, everything was lovely. Great food, wine, and…

Crazy-fun night, oh my god how I laughed, ouch. Kim and Susie (here with Nathan), two of the funniest people on the planet, came for dinner. Our goal was to actually do some work – ha! – on Feminine Hijinx… Our soon-to-be podcast! Of the three of us raving various subjects together – the concept…

Wake up! Turns out, not much of a problem today. That coffee – the real deal – that I happily drank at Susie’s yesterday? Vrooom, powered me through damn near the entire night. I’ve mentioned before that I’m off caffeine, for exactly this reason, but once in awhile I indulge. Usually, it’s fine. But usually…
