With An I: unintentional work haiku
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2010/11/unintentional-work-haiku.html
Monday, November 08, 2010. In an email to Kolz just now, I wrote the following:. Today is stinky. when do you think you'll be home? And then realized it was a very simplistic haiku. When do you think you'll be home? This pleased me, and made me remember how fun it was to be a part of my college friends' birthday haiku perpetual chain letter, though it has fallen off occasionally in recent years. And, anyway, there's only certain company that really makes that situation livable. New York, NY, United States.

With An I: stuck
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2010/12/stuck.html
Tuesday, December 07, 2010. I am without my headphones at the office today - thankfully, it has been quiet, and the work is coming along. But in my song-listening head, it is not quiet. In fact, it is full of "Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads, which, of course, I cannot listen to do banish the Ohrwurm, or distract myself with something else. But if I whisper it into the reeds, in the blogging sense, perhaps I'll forget about it? Posted by Wabes @ 12/07/2010 05:39:00 PM. View my complete profile.

With An I: winter warmer
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-warmer.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. But I have also innovated! 1/4 lemon, squeezed and left in mug. 1 3-4 inch sprig rosemary, crushed gently with flat of knife. 1 T honey, or to taste. Fill mug with very hot water. It is divine, just the nicest hint of something interesting and tasty, and I am not coughing! Just breathing the steam is lovely. I think I will try thyme in the next one, thinking of how nice it usually is with lemon. Posted by Wabes @ 1/26/2011 12:34:00 PM. New York, NY, United States.

With An I: Not contrary!
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2010/09/not-contrary.html
Saturday, September 04, 2010. I am not posting to be contrary, but only because I was talking with Lau. Just now about the eggplant I was cooking for dinner, and we tagged la Gadda's recent post. Evocative, simple, nice: "go away: eggplant"). Lau asked me what I do with it, and, well, this is what I do with it:. Let's call it "Wabes'-I-Swear-You-Should-At-Least-Try-It, Eggplant-Haters" eggplant. 4 good-sized japanese eggplants. 2 T tamari or regular soy sauce (I use low-sodium tamari). 2 T mirin rice wine.

With An I: various
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2010/12/various.html
Thursday, December 16, 2010. Today, it is cold, again - but not as bad as the folks have at home in Illinois (where winter is epic, ice-blasted, frozen-prairie, jesus. But we needed good apples, so I went out to the farmers' market anyway, and stopped by the dosa stand on the way back. I got a samosa bigger than my fist that was just perfect.*. And now, this is what I think:. 1) Someday I want to write a recipe/story/column where I get to use the phrase "A samosa, yes! It's like an Indian knish.". On wor...

With An I: August 2006
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. Speaking of home, I have two prevailing thoughts about it right now, or really just relevant anecdotes:. I have been thinking that, since leaving Dar, I’ve been in a slow process of re-integrating into American life slowly re-adding creature comforts and familiarity in going from Dar to Berlin to Oxford to London. Hot showers, climate control (yes), more green veggies and good beer (thank you again, Germany), and then backsliding a bit to no mixed water taps (bah, England!

With An I: March 2007
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Cakes from the pan, we say. Man, what is it right now with pancakes for dinner. Appearing in my life? It seems to have started with Betsy and I's on-the-fly choice of My Old Dutch for dinner in London, and now, clearly, the Minimalist himself has been influenced by our culinary choices. Or maybe it started on a high school road trip with Andi and my folks at a "Pannekooken" place in South Dakota. Who knows.it will not be the shape of tonight's dinner, that's for sure. Marching ...

With An I: July 2006
http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 31, 2006. I went to church last Sunday. I had a full post prepared yesterday, but nearly everything in closed in Dar on Sunday. This puts my arrival, at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon, in a new perspective - everything seemed so empty and quiet, no restaurants, no people on the street. Dar is much quieter on Saturdays and Sundays, especially downtown. So, I did indeed go to church yesterday, to the Azania Front Lutheran Church. Posted by Wabes @ 7/31/2006 06:07:00 AM.

http://world-with-an-i.blogspot.com/2010/11/application-season-has-pretty-much.html
Sunday, November 07, 2010. Application season has pretty much taken me out of the running for writing about anything else, although many nice things have been afoot otherwise. Today I walked home past the streams of marathoners, and yelled out names as people went past me. I got a few smiles, but it was at mile 23, so people mostly just looked zonked. Lately I have been missing home a bit, and my officemate, a fellow southern Illinoisan, pointed me to these landscape photographs. View my complete profile.
