I Absolutely love hazelnuts and have wanted to try baking with hazelnut flour for about forever, but I’ve always held off on it as the stuff is OMFG expensive. Anyway, I took the plunge and bought a couple pounds of the stuff last week and used it for the first time today mixed 50/50 withContinue reading “Hazelnut Flour”

That Doesn’t Happen Very Often
I was out running errands on my bike today and ended up walking the bike up a steep hill. That doesn’t happen very often and, at least in this case, it wasn’t a fitness thing. It was a I’m building up heat and can’t get rid of it thing. A “real feel” temperature of 97Continue reading “That Doesn’t Happen Very Often”
Me Nailing It On Twitter Back In October
I rarely get things as right as I did above, so I do think I should be able to brag it up a little. But, yeah, I don’t care what “side” you’re on. What I care about is getting everyone who, for one reason or another, qualifies as one of MY PEOPLE though our currentContinue reading “Me Nailing It On Twitter Back In October”
I ❤️ These Boots (Solomon Shelter)
Living in Wisconsin you need a good set or three of boots. I had two sets: a heavy duty, super insulated pair for the depths of winter and a pair of of un-insulated LL Bean “duck” boots for slush/mud season. Fall of 2019 I decided I needed to up my game to a pair ofContinue reading “I ❤️ These Boots (Solomon Shelter)”

Finally Got Some Ice On The River
Up until the Polar Vortex hit us we’d had a freakishly warm winter and no river ice, which is a two-fold bummer for me as the coming of river ice generally means wintering Bald Eagles are easier to see as they gather at places where there are openings in the river ice and because IContinue reading “Finally Got Some Ice On The River”
Frosty-Foggy Morning
I need to start getting up earlier, winter mornings around here tend to be rather pretty.
Sunday Tramp
Normally on a warm for Wisconsin winter’s Sunday, with a bright blue sky above, I’d be out on my bicycle. But, this winter I’m pretty into taking tramps around town and while it was a warm and sunny Sunday it was also fairly humid and I just can not stay warm in cold temps withContinue reading “Sunday Tramp”
Maximum Sunshine
I’m originally from the Seattle area, AKA the darkest place in the lower 48. Which isn’t so great when you have a fairly whopping dose of Seasonal Effective Disorder. When I decided to move out of the Pacific Northwest moving to a place with more light in the wintertime was one of my top criteria.Continue reading “Maximum Sunshine”
One Day At A Time
The sky’s dark and overcast. The weather’s cold. There’s a pandemic on. Got a friend on chemo. I don’t even want to know what our elected and economic “leaders” are up too… But, we’ll get though this thing. I’ve got chicken and rice soup on the stove, oatmeal cookies in the oven, and Charles MingusContinue reading “One Day At A Time”
