cooking – MUSOFYR

Stir Fry!

I’m not sure when I started cooking my stir fry meals, but I’ve been doing it for decades now. A mix of veggies, some protein, add rice, and there’s a meal. The most memorable ones happened in my efficiency apartment in Columbus, OH when I was at OSU. I had two 2-burner hot plates, andContinue reading “Stir Fry!”

Stacking Plates?

Years ago, when I was visiting my then-girlfriend, later wife, and later late wife in her Pittsburgh apartment with her roommate, one of them would make dinner. (This was before I became a major cook.) As a result, it seemed fair that I would do the dishes. One evening I was criticized for not washingContinue reading “Stacking Plates?”

What’s something most people don’t know about you? Is the title redundant? I mean, if they’re secrets, aren’t they necessarily hidden? And if they are revealed, they’re no longer hidden.

Theatre has been my career and I’m not finished with it yet. Movies. The best are the older movies, and especially badContinue reading “Let’s Talk About…?”

5 Happy Things

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? I think today’s prompt can lead either to someone singing “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things” or providing a trite list of pleasant itemsIand occurrences. My singing voice is not good right now (where did i pick up a sore throat?) so I’d betterContinue reading “5 Happy Things”

And Then…

I forgot. It had been my intention to create a blog post every Monday, talking about my creative projects, the move into retirement, whatever was happening in my life. And then with all the preparation for a new patio area, I forgot. Fortunately, the mats we put down with the grass seed are in factContinue reading “And Then…”
