Staining crown moulding for the powder room
December 17, 2025 at 4:59 AM
I have a working bathroom on the first floor of my domicile for the first time in 14 years, aside from about 3 weeks in January. The major plumbing incident took out the powder room toilet and then the second major plumbing incident in April made it […]

Stress-baked some cranberry white chocolate cookies. Well I have plenty of dried cranberries, B made some more cranberry powder and we had an overabundance.

I'm not sure if this is rage baking or stress baking or some mixture of the two.

I got a stonking great deal on a used pasta press today. I spent 3 hrs making rotini and this excellent dijon-infused Mac and Cheese dish with chicken and leeks.

Kasha likes to perch on the cast iron handrail post. She's very gothic when the lantern light gently illuminates her soft fur.

Fresh, homemade noodles with porcini mushrooms and red peppers.

I still make a mess when I'm making the noodles but I can move a lot faster now. Homemade noodles are just so much better.

This is not the dinner date that I expected but an acceptable one.

Some randoms around the new house. The guest bathroom phase 1 is finally done, with the window finally stained and painted. The garage is in the morning sun so we put some radiant barrier on it. This lowered the temperature in the garage by at least 5 °F […]

This is my first time making chicken kofta in probably 2 or 3 years. We did a bake instead of a grill version because it was so cold outside last night. The salad is what really made it though. Parsley, mint, cilantro, peppers, roasted tomatoes, and a whole […]

Ah, the joys of home ownership. It's another gorgeous Saturday I intended to use her working outside on lawn care and exterior painting but we discovered this week some mold and mildew on the cork board shelves in our basement storage. That cork board that's […]

One year ago today, and today. It took an inordinate amount of work but we're actually starting to enjoy the new house after having now lived here for 3 months.

When the bathroom on the floor is out of service, it takes some time to remember that there's no toilet or sink in the room:

Argentinian inspired meal tonight, best chimichurri we've made in a long time. Steak from a local beef farm!

Here's a minor project I did in the last 24 hours. We were not able to find tile to match the existing tile and I didn't want the expense of replacing some 250 ft² of it when just this tiny corner was going to be visible. We couldn't figure out what to do […]
