Doug's Project 365

I made lasagna today for the holiday pot luck at work on Tuesday.  It’s got roasted sweet potato chunks in it.

I fixed my father in law’s computer today.  He’s running Ubuntu (mostly unbeknownst to him) which makes my life easier in doing remote support.  But Thunderbird managed to get messed up in some way that I couldn’t diagnose over the phone, so I made a housecall.

I was so annoyed at the smoke detector near the kitchen tonight (“it’s not a a fire, it’s just homemade pizza, you stupid thing!”) that I flung it onto the floor to dislodge its batteries.
 

Fortunately we have a spare.

Can’t get blood from a…

Homemade gyros, made with ground lamb from the CSA.  Mmmmm.

Those of you who have been to our old house in Southboro probably remember the cat step in the office.  I made this step so that our cats could get to the window sill and sniff the world in the good weather, but as it turns out they both liked to just sit on it.

Recently, Parker has taken to occupying our office chairs — if he could sit on both at the same time, I think he would.  This makes it somewhat inconvenient to use the office.  So I reinstalled the step in our new office, hoping he would use it instead.  It sometimes works, as seen here.

My breakfast tangerine today had 42 seeds in it — so many that it made it somewhat difficult to eat.

We picked up the first share from our meat CSA today.  Here we have what we’ll be eating from it this week: two bone-in chicken breasts and some ground beef & lamb.

We helped my mother in law move into her new apartment in Worcester today.  The apartment is nice, and the woodwork has these cool art-deco-ish corner blocks.

Yes, I’m posting about food again… must mean I didn’t get a good picture today. 

These bones are left over from a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs that went into tonight’s dinner. Yum!
