Bricks: Potluck and the Fates
http://laelgilbert.blogspot.com/2010/05/potluck-and-fates.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. Potluck and the Fates. Hosting a potluck dinner tempts the fates. You are counting on the random flow of the universe to provide karma enough for equal distributions of carrot sticks, frog-eye salad, brownies, and ham. Doesn't the universe have better things to worry about? It is just as likely to speak "chips and salsa" to 27 of the 30 attendees as to provide a random distribution of culinary chatter. It isn't a competition, you say? Great post/article Lael. We just purchased...

Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Leo remembers the three-year-old preschool lab. Who was your teacher? What was she like? She has a ponytail. What did you learn? What was your favorite thing to do in school? What was your favorite food to eat for school lunch. At snack I had graham crackers with strawberries on top. What is your favorite book? Mickey Mouse the Wizard (The Sorcerer's Apprentice). What are you looking forward to about next year? What do you want to be when you grow up? Play with my friends. A prof...

Bricks: April 2009
http://laelgilbert.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 20, 2009. We started outdoor soccer this week. I seemed so much faster indoors. I'm going to be sore tomorrow. Monday, April 6, 2009. Gabe and Leo love April Fool's Day. I'm wishy-washy on it. I wasn't raised to appreciate practical jokes, but I feel like such a spoil sport when I don't facilitate my kids participation in some way. So I made a couple sets of the old "Rattle Snake Eggs in the Envelope" sets, and sent them on their way. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A professor told me if you c...

Bricks: Central Milling Company
http://laelgilbert.blogspot.com/2010/03/central-milling-company.html
Friday, March 26, 2010. I visited the small brick building and picked up a 50 pound bag of bread flour (they don't come any smaller). Honestly, I was doubtful that flour could make that big of a difference for my bread. One wheat flour is as good as any other, right? They don't try and breed out the color. Wheat is generally bred to be as white as possible, said Perry. Organic wheat has more color and more flavor, he said. They don't add bleach, they don't use pesticides, herbicides, and you ...I cracked...

Bricks: June 2009

Monday, June 29, 2009. Regarding #2 . there is no topic that can get people in a lather faster than germs. Me included. Little, invisible things that pass from person to person in ways that we really can't control, and invade our cells, give us weird rashes, cause us pain and make us sick. And mutate. Isn't that a scary word? And the media isn't helping. "Tonight on the SWINE FLU ALERT! I love funny people. Here are two blogs that make me laugh out loud:. Bad cakes. It is that simple. I spoke in church o...

Friday, April 2, 2010. Food of the Prophets. March 30 in the General Conference insert. This topic was an assignment, but it was fun to write. We have long been interested in what comes out of the mouths of the prophets, but what about what goes into them? It is intriguing to consider the lives of the Latter-day Saint prophets outside of the words they shared … their daily toil, the people and the places they loved, and their food. Perhaps it is a desire to know these men better, or to know that they had...

Bricks: Fast Food Fare
http://laelgilbert.blogspot.com/2010/05/fast-food-fare_27.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. A recent bite of fast-food hamburger gave me pause. I was pondering utilitarianism, the idea that the right thing to do is what brings the greatest good to the greatest number of people. It is a fairly straightforward way to make decisions in life. Free speech? Bad Monster truck rallies? I enjoy roasted garlic artisan bread, ripe tart cherries and prosciutto-stuffed baguettes, but sometimes I eat hamburgers. Not the made-at-home-on-the-grill kind, but the kind that come wrappe...
