Never A Dull Moment
We dined out twice today! First at the Dane County Farmer’s Market, because the breakfast they were serving was biscuits and gravy, and when you say “biscuits and gravy” you’re going to get a visit from My Darling B, and you’d better have a plate of hot biscuits and gravy waiting for her. She adores… Read.

Recipe
Overheard at the office pot luck yesterday: “How did you make these cream cheese roll-ups?” “Well, I started by saying to my wife: ‘Honey, I need something for the pot luck at the office tomorrow.’ Then she said, ‘You should have told me that yesterday.’ Then we fought for about fifteen minutes. Then she got… Read.

Beer and Cheese
Beer and cheese! They had gallons of the former and tons of the latter at the convention center yesterday afternoon, where I passed the time wandering from booth to booth with My Darling B, or passing most of the time with her, as it turned out. We got separated about midway through the afternoon and… Read.

Nom Nom Nom
After thinking it over for a couple years, My Darling B & I finally indulged ourselves and signed up to join in on Restaurant Week, the annual festival of stuffing yourself silly with good food at great restaurants in Mad Town. It started on Monday but our pocketbook couldn’t stand the strain of eating out… Read.

Ramen II
I followed My Darling B’s advice and planned ahead this time: I found one of those giant-sized tea cups, the ones that are big enough to bathe a cat in, at St. Vinnie’s yesterday and brought it home to run it through the dish washer because, y’know, yuck. It’s probably been handled by everybody and… Read.

Ramen Dreams

New Year’s Eve
Today’s New Year’s Eve so we get the day off because we’re state workers. It’s one of the benefits that are showered on us like confetti at a hero’s ticker-tape parade. I can’t wait to see how that’s going to change. Watch this space. But for now, we’re enjoying the day off: Sleeping in a… Read.

Prezzies!
We opened presents last night because I couldn’t wait any longer. The kids aren’t as jazzed about Christmas as they were when they were wee little bugs, but I was so excited about seeing My Darling B open the prezzie I got for her that I knew I’d pee my pants if I had to… Read.

Together again
And the whole family’s home once again. I drove out to the airport with T-Dawg last night to pick up the Seanster, who somehow arrived so close to his originally scheduled time as to make no difference. I only mention that because the guy’s been haunted by a modern-day travel curse that makes it impossible… Read.
