Posted on September 7, 2015

so far today: two one-egg-fried-on-one-slice-toasted (with “greek” seasoning and butter) sandwich-halves, a couple hours apart. meanwhile there’s a bunch of bacon, mostly unused as of now.

taters & toast: “before” and “during”

Posted on August 29, 2015

first i had the egg, fried over easy in butter, and the bread, toasted & buttered. in the form of a sandwich half, with mixed-in-the-package “greek” seasoning. the pan was plenty hot and there was plenty of butter, so the egg came up perfect: hard white, runny yolk. that was for me. as meanwhile i […]

just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?

Posted on August 18, 2015

farmer’s-market fresh watermelon. *and* an enormous tomato much better than the genetically-blahblah stuff from the grocer… enough for two BLT’s and a salad, with leftovers for the cook… *and* several ears of fresh-enough-to-eat-raw corn. (only one gone so far but who counts.) my mother was here for her usual summer plays-and-loved-ones tour of the eastern-midwest […]

the framing problem

Posted on September 4, 2014

history of lemonade. post n+1. half the lemon remains in the form of a lemon-half (here in the photo and now as i type; it’s now in the reeferbox in a small lidded-storage- -cup). the rind of the other half, seen here behind the (measuring) cup, still has most of the fibre-bundle stuff that separated […]

routine maintenance

always halfway there
