The Kid Can Cook

Daughter No. 1 is getting ready to go back to college for another year of higher learning. This year she will be living in an apartment for the first time, and she will be feeding herself without the help of a campus food plan.

In an effort to offer her guidance from two hours away, I have started a new blog where I will be posting recipes that are simple enough and quick enough for a busy student, or a group of busy students, to prepare. The way I see it, if you give them complicated recipes that take hours to prepare, they won't even pick up a wooden spoon for stirring. So, I'll keep it easy and fast but as fresh and balanced as possible.

Go see for yourself here.

Indeed, an incredible mother and what a great idea. You really are a gem, Robyn and I might have to pop into that site on a daily basis myself. It is too difficult for me to stand around for hours in the kitchen since my spinal fusion so quick and easy recipes are wonderful.

Actually, DD, I think this was No. 1's idea. She will be posting to it, too, as she finds things, so everything will be kept in one safe place.

Mme Benaut, I don't have the back issues you have, but I do have trouble with my back now and then, so I know about not wanting to stand in the kitchen for too long. I am searching for things that take no long than 30 to 40 minutes.

Alifan, I hope you find something you like. We are trying not to include "kid" food.

Dive, hey, everybody needs a chocolate chip cookie now and then. They're good for the soul.

Happy Birthday...

to me! Update: Since you have asked, I only got one actual packaged gift, a beautiful hand-made bracelet from a friend, but both girls were home for the weekend, and we had dinner at the lake and a relaxing weekend. Thanks to all of you for your lovely wishes!

My Sitemeter is All Bloated and Not Quite Itself

I'm tempted to let it sit on the couch with its feet curled up under a blanket, a hot cup of coffee in hand, a block of cherry almond bark Chocolove within reach, and An Affair to Remember spinning in the DVD player. I'm one of those obsessive bloggers, the kind who checks her sitemeter as often as possible throughout the day, the kind who gauges the quality of her writing by the number of readers who regularly stop by. I've become less interested in the overall number of hits and more interested in the number of repeat hits. The return visitors are the ones I long for. When my sitemeter reads forty at the end of the day, and the majority of those hits are webpals who have conversed, I'm happy. Forty may seem low to many of you, but I've only been at this since August. To me, forty is a jackpot. A few days ago, I sat down at my laptop and discovered a number somewhere in the eighties. Eighties! Yippee! Yeeha ! Hoo-rah ! I've been discovered by the webworld , o...

Ish People

Tell an Ish person to show up around 9 a.m., and you'll see them somewhere around 9 a.m. Tell them to show up at 9ish, and you'll see them anywhere from 9:05 to 9:20. You have given them license to dilly dally, and who wouldn't take advantage of that? The other night at the big shindig dinner party, one of the drummers said the rehearsal the next morning would begin at 9ish. "I am an ish person," he says. Immediately the clanker goes off in my head--oh, good, I thought. I can deliver my daughter a little late. No Ish person is early, so if you say 9ish, that does not mean give or take 5, 10, 15 minutes. It's exclusively a taking phrase. Take an extra 10 minutes to drink your cup of coffee. We won't mind. We're Ish people. Sunday's rehearsal started at 2:00. Because it was conducted by the same people who conducted the Saturday rehearsal, my understanding was 2-ISH. My daughter is worse than I am about taking liberties with Ish time frames, so she d...
