What I Learned This Week: #252

Monday, May 30 – Sunday, June 12, 2022 The Week in Aging: The first week of this here recap was marked by my Mom had her first senior medical moment, and at 81, she really put it off about as long as one could home. She spent a couple days in the hospital, and isContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #252”

What I Learned This Week: #241

Monday, May 23 – Sunday, May 29, 2022 The Week in Poison: I’ve been buying freshly ground peanut butter for years. I get it at the farmer’s market and it’s delicious. I grew up on Jif though, and, while I don’t buy it, sometimes I get a hold of some (usually a friend’s house) andContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #241”

What I Learned This Week: #239

Monday, May 9 – Sunday, May 15, 2022 The Week in Hair: This week’s hair fiasco is 100% my own doing.

Much of what passes for bagels around here are just big ole buns, often over-flavored, with a hole in the middleContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #234”

What I Learned This Week: #233

Monday, March 7 – Sunday, March 20, 2022 The Week in Words: Covering two weeks in this post, and I’m still having a bit of trouble just putting week one into perspective. There was a LOT of minutiae that nevertheless made me quite happy. Silly stuff, really, made up most of the week, like eatingContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #233”

What I Learned This Week: #231

Monday, February 21 – Sunday, February 27, 2021 The Week in Beef: I made a stir fry beef recipe that called for 12 oz. of sirloin. Since I’d planned to stay in all week (the theme of the week, it turns out) I decided to splurge for the expensive cut. Well, the butcher was havingContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #231”
