Lilacs! Blooming! Maybe spring is finally here! With these hopeful thoughts in mind, my mind naturally turned towards the garden, and (more…)
Photo post: potatoes in progress! 22 April 2008 10:06 am
Posted by Tracy in : potatoes, garden, pictures , add a commentSo a few Monkey Mondays ago, I realized that it was Saint Patrick’s Day during the International Year of the Potato, and set out to celebrate it in my garden (like you do). A quick glance at the information available online about potato cultivation suggested that it’s possible to do so in containers, so I broke out a bucket: (more…)
Another Nepal flashback: October 20 was one delicious day. 20 February 2008 8:28 am
Posted by Tracy in : potatoes, nepal, travel, pictures, eating , add a commentSo yesterday I posted a bunch of Nepal pictures to my Flickr pages, and realized that I am now posting trip pictures more or less exactly four months after they were taken. That revelation, and the fact that a number of yesterday’s posted pictures were of particularly delicious meals, are all the reason I need to write another happy Nepal flashback, this time to October 20, 2007. If you’re feeling too lazy to follow that link, it’s okay — it was sort of a boring automagical post anyway. All I wrote was:
Another trekking day, but depending on whether we took a rest day on the 18th it might be day 5 or 6; I hereby officially quit trying to keep track ahead of time. Any which way, with a name like Bumsing Danda involved, it had better be good!
Little did I know what deliciousness lay in store! (more…)
Monkey Monday: latest ever edition. 24 December 2007 6:15 am
Posted by Tracy in : work, pictures, monkeys, potatoes, Morning Glory, school, eating, books, meta, cooking , 1 comment so farHoly cats, readers. A week ago today at this time I was almost done pulling an all-nighter to get my NYU application submitted at 11:30 that Monday morning. Then I took a nap, and when I woke up I tried to write something monkeyish only to get distracted, a pattern that repeated every day last week. It was almost as if I’d spent a lot of writing energy on some major project and needed to rest that part of my brain, (she wrote, feeling slightly ridiculous for having hedged that statement AT ALL). Anyway. I figure there’s a good chance no one will read this on account of it being Christmas Eve, and now that I’m writing at all again I’m thinking my three-posts-a-week vacation plan is still a pretty good one, and all that adds up to a nice, low-preseasing myself back into the daily blog grind thing, which suits me fine. Read on for a teeny recap of the past week and some guesses about what I’ll be writing about for the next few days. Or don’t, but either way have a fantastic end of the year. (more…)
Frenetic Friday 14 December 2007 12:27 am
Posted by Tracy in : work, seasonality, potatoes, Morning Glory, school, friends, eating, meta, cooking , 1 comment so farThink good thoughts for me, readers; before the post office closes today I will be mailing a big fat envelope to the food studies program at NYU Steinhardt. Then I will collapse on the couch and watch Ratatouille on DVD (it arrived in the mail on one of the last nights of (C)Han(n)uk(k)a(h), courtesy of my parents, and I’m honestly a little amazed that I haven’t been watching it ever since). Or maybe I will just sleep. Either way, I will definitely do something restful because I start a six-day stretch of shifts at Morning Glory on Saturday: Beth has had plans to be out of town this weekend since before I got back from Nepal, Josh is in Seattle for his father’s funeral, and Gail is getting ready for her annual winter trip to Mexico, which leaves me and Jen to rock like hurricanes in the kitchen all week, oh yes. It’s going to be a busy one, and for me it kicks off almost a month of covering lots and lots of shifts.
So. (more…)
