my week in bento 7/31/09

Monday’s breakfast, which I ended up eating in a truck on a way to a site (this bento thing is turning out to be really convenient)

 
Lunch was also in a truck, between demolition and construction sites, and the tuna (not tuna salad) stuffed grape tomatoes were fabulous!

 
No breakfast bento on Tuesday, as Freya and I [...]

d211: project 365: again with the socks as formal gloves

There really is a whole story here. I have a great picture of the little fashionista when she was about 9-10 months old, in which she had crawled around the house to get socks, a headband, some toy jewelry, and a mismatched outfit.

muffin (and mini loaf) mania

Friday it had been 10 days since mine and Freya’s last baking marathon with the Amish Friendship Bread.  Actually, it had been more than 10 days, luckily, this recipe is very forgiving of additional fermentation days.
I decided that I need to wind this cycle down for now, and I wanted to try some variations.  So, [...]

d208: project 365: fresh zucchini!

My parents came by on Sunday and as usual, the overly-fertile central Illinois soil has provided my Dad with an over-flowing garden. They brought a large bag full of zucchini…and one cucumber. It was like the Where’s Waldo of the vegetable world.
Thanks Dad!
