I don’t have a specific agenda today. I just wanted to show up, in part because I was struck this morning–for no particular reason–by my die-hard readers who show up themselves from time to time just in case I’ve written anything, even if I haven’t written in a long time. I guess I shouldn’t be [...]

Patience
Posted in Dazed and Confused; or, Living Well with ADD, Food Glorious Food, Planet Sster on November 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today I am soaking chick peas, waiting for bread to rise, waiting for laundry loads to wash and dry, waiting for a child to go to sleep and waiting for him to wake up again, waiting for Attic Man to come home and waiting for my mother-in-law’s visit.
So much of domestic work is about patience. [...]
Serial Hobbiest
Posted in Dazed and Confused; or, Living Well with ADD, Food Glorious Food, Planet Sster on November 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
One of the most enjoyable parts of ADHD is the pairing of the unpredictable, whimsicle, serendipidous direction of one’s interests and the ability to hyperfocus. The result, at least in my life, is that I am what I call a “serial hobbiest.” (Lest you think we hyperactive sorts have the market share, Attic Man is [...]
Fishy Dilemma
Posted in Food Glorious Food, Planet Sster on February 8, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Little updates: The Snapper is completely back to normal with no need for pain meds and eating normally (like a horse); little house has NO BASEMENT! In the midwest!; I am too sick to exercise, starting antibiotics this afternoon–we’ll start next week, and in the meantime, hide your scales!
On to present business. I am [...]

The Snapper, ever eager to start solid food, samples some of Cousin Banana Girl’s Face
Is there anything better than the smell of cooked apples wafting through your house, carried on the breeze from an open kitchen window curtained in lace?
I just made 2 months’ worth of mashed bananas, avocado, and apple sauce for the [...]
Roulade of Nerves

This morning I had the most amazing breakfast: two-egg omelet with goat cheese, fresh basil, and baby spinach. YUM. Last night Attic Man man a Roulade of Chicken thing (rolled up chicken with goat cheese and veggies inside; he made it in peppers for me) so there were some yummy leftover ingredients. I was more [...]
Two Healthy(ish) Comfort Foods
Posted in Food Glorious Food on April 5, 2006 | 4 Comments »
I've been perfecting classic beans and rice over the past few months to reflect our increasingly demanding taste buds and to keep us away from the old fallback, going out on a weeknight. Rice and beans at our house started out as a cheap dish made with white rice, canned beans, and a few [...]
Tuna Cakes with Dill Sauce, Baked Potatoes, and Greens

For fun and to thank all of you for being so supportive through the Adoption Ordeal I’d like to introduce a new feature to Boomerific: Sster’s Complete Menus. Recently Attic Man and I have discussed starting a Chef’s Journal to record our most sucessful meals. Then I thought, why not post them? [...]
Whole Grain Goodness
Posted in Food Glorious Food on December 28, 2005 | 2 Comments »
It’s the third week or so of our whole grains/no refined sugar campaign, and things are going well. I don’t believe we’ve ever eaten this well. I suppose although I knew this way of eating is better in all kinds of ways–more consistent energy throughout the day, reduced risk of heart disease and [...]
