At 8:30 pm tonight I remembered I was supposed to cook rice and black beans for tomorrow’s dinner (Flautas, though more burrito-like than those pictured) tonight. Good thing I remembered!
Month: September 2010
Extreme closeup: rice
From left to right: wild, brown long-grain, sushi, brown Arborio, and brown Basmati.
Paint
I painted the bedroom this weekend. Last weekend, I repaired some plaster cracks. This weekend was wallpaper border removal, spackling of defects, and paint.
We think the cream may need to be toned down to be more Vermont and less Jersey for the green to really look nice in this room.
Porch planning
We’re trying to decide if, as part of rebuilding our front porch, we want to narrow the steps. I made some mockups today, which first required me to take a picture of the front of the house.
Here’s what it might have looked like had they built the stairs narrower 25 years ago:
Pickles
Well, they’ll be pickles in a week or so.
Ready for Earl
What went through my mind as I moved stuff into the garage was “Nice hammock swing you got there… be a shame if anything happened to it.”
Meat inventory
Belonging to a meat CSA means it’s important to track what cuts we have in the freezer downstairs. This list lives on the fridge. The giant pork chop is for Friday.
