The nonstick was wearing thin on my favorite pan, a flat-bottomed wok, so I replaced it today. We could live well with just this one pan and a bamboo steamer.

Celeriac
Picked up (and purchased) celeriac at the local farmers market at Mill City Museum (a former flour mill). I used to be wary of this craggy root, but now happily add it to a braise or gratin.
A Day to Stay In
It was 6°F (-14°C) outside when I woke up. Looked out at ice accumulating on the Mississippi and decided I’m not going anywhere this morning. The “rock” sticking out of the ice is a slowly crumbling pier for the old 10th Avenue Bridge. The bridge was torn down for scrap in 1943.
Saturday Evening Routine
After our travels, we’re back to our Saturday evening home routine: dim the lights for a movie, ice cream in the intermission.
Filling the Fridge
Started filling the fridge.
Tip-the-Fridge Week Finale
Prepared the final meals for Tip-the-Fridge Week: strata, ready to bake; risotto patties, ready to fry; vegetable soup. Stale bread, leftover vegetables, homemade stock, and leftover risotto all came from the freezer. I used up all our eggs and most of our milk.
Tip-The-Fridge Week
It’s Tip-the-Fridge Week. You can hide a lot in a pot pie.
Condo Board
Voted for some really talented people to serve on our condo board.
Bike Rack Installation
Finally installed the bike rack on our car. Through choice I haven’t even driven a car since January, and that was to take our other car on a one-way trip to a nonprofit.
