Just because you make a cooking timeline and post it above the oven, doesn't mean you're actually going to consult it so you don't put your turkey in 1/2 an hour early. At least, that's how it works here.

Every school in our county and the 3 adjacent is closed for snow today... except my daughter's and my husband's.

Getting really good at setting mousetraps tonight. Not really a skill I wanted to have to master.

Good school day and decent dinner which means, of course, that the house is a wreck.

I thought I was getting a good start on baking by getting a batch of pumpkin gingerbread in the oven. That is till I opened the refrigerator and saw the carton of eggs... and remembered that the recipe called for one egg. Who knows, maybe it will be better.

The recipe is actually called "harvest pumpkin bread" and I found it about 15 years ago in a craft book I got at the library. When I served it once to a friend he said "oh this is very good gingerbread!" and since he loves gingerbread I figured he knew what he was talking about. So that's what I call it now. I think everyone needs some gingerbread now and then. And shortbread! :-)

Is anyone else having trouble posting? I replied to a post and it came out all wonky. Editing doesn't help!

It's amazing how long the day seems, and how much we can get done, when we are able to just stay home!

My kids are fighting over who gets the lead role in the 2-person production of Hamlet they're planning.

No matter how bad the day is, if it ends at the library and we come home with a big pile of books, it feels like a good day.

So glad I have discovered the wonderfulness of homemade yogurt... but wondering why it took me so long to try it.

Nope, no machine, just a saucepan, a big bowl, and a warm place. http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017991-creamy-homemade-yogurt

Today I received an Amazon gift card for $100, and also today the coffeemaker died. Coincidence? I think not.

You're right, Jean. We ordered a new pot, which has free 1-day delivery. So, only one day to either use the French press or get two coffees to go from the cafe where my daughter works. She usually walks to work, but I think I'll drive her tomorrow so I can get home while the coffee is still hot. :-)

Week Zero in our little homeschool. Find the books, clean up the shelves, place last-minute order for lab supplies.....

Why oh why are the weeks of leaf pickup the windiest of the year? Hard to rake when the wind just moves the piles down the street.
