Good afternoon. I like Dark Chocolate Dove Promise chocolates. One quote says, 'If you can't go right, go left. I've done a bit of that today. I'm halfway through the preparations for today's dinner party. I have the apple crisp...

What did you have for dinner last night?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Mar 20

I tried something different for dinner last night. I just went with what I had. I had bought some steak from Safeway (a local grocery store), and had some sourdough toast and butter with it. But I also added some sliced raw onions...

What did you have for dinner tonight?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 9 May 19

Trader Joe's sells a self-contained Caesar Salad, including dressing. It's pretty darned good, and you can add chicken to it (or whatever else you might have on hand). I bought some the other day, and had it for lunch tonight. I...

The First Thing That Comes Into My Head

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 7 Jan 19

Random words, no time to really compose or think of anything so just using free expression. This is the literary equivalent of improv, or improvisation. I'll just meander along making up nonsense and it'll probably be just as bad...

What did you have for dinner tonight? Do you think this tasted better than it looks?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 17 Dec 18

My dinner tonight was half of a leftover burrito from last night at a good restaurant with my friend, Lauren. Before I put it in the oven at 375 degrees for 10 or 15 minutes, I added Swiss cheese, a slice of onion, and some...

I wrote this awhile back. Now that November has arrived...

Stanley W. Shura @stanws (126) • Stoughton, Massachusetts 2 Nov 18

November Requiem The fallen leaves are singing in jazz harmony. No green remains and hard, brown spikes threaten me. I wish to play among them - adding my own improvisation, but afraid my own hands will merely crush them. What...

What did you have for breakfast on this beautiful Saturday morning?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Aug 18

I ran into our Office Manager yesterday while I was turning in my syllabus for next semester. She was pushing a tray full of food left over from a meeting. She said "Take anything you want." I asked what the gushy stuff was and...

What are you having for lunch today?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Apr 17

I just got back from an IEP meeting for one of my kid clients. When I stumbled in my front door, I realized I was really hungry. Searching my fridge, I found 1/3 of a burrito that I'd saved from yesterday's lunch with a...

What are some of the silliest breakfasts you've had?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Jan 17

I had to teach an 8 AM class today. Due to issues I will describe in another post, I had to get there early. I looked at my Frosted Shredded Bit Size Wheats and was overcome with a sense of boredom. What did I have for breakfast...

I'm so glad it worked!

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 25 May 16

As some may know, I'm in the middle of moving so I have a lot of extra junk to get out of the house. Yesterday morning I had too much to carry, so I put everything in bags including the old DVD player I meant to toss, so I could...

Delicious? Or just plain gross?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Jan 16

I had Clinical Group Supervision this morning, and I have a client later this afternoon. At lunch time, I stared with glazed eyes unto my fridge. Left over 1/3 burrito. Some Brie cheese starting to look tired. A half-consumed...

What the heck is happening in this photograph?

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Jan 16

Before you read my text, check the photo. Does it make any sense? What's your first guess as to what the heck is going on? I worked four mornings at my friend's preschool last week. They know I love fixing toys that break at the...

Do you improvise in the kitchen? (cooking pancakes with olive oil)

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 28 Dec 15

Lately, I've been cooking pancakes for breakfast. Nothing fancy. I just use a pre-made mix from Safeway. But I do adorn them with butter and real maple syrup. When I started, I realized the only oil I have here is a light olive...

Making a spy camera out of a simple webcam

laiza14 @laiza14 (593) • Philippines 19 Mar 11

Do you know you can hack a web cam into a spy camera? Making your own spy camera or improvising cameras can save you a lot. All you need is just a number or wireless webcams, a personal computer, internet video, uninterrupted...

Improvisation in the kitchen

fluffnflowers @fluffnflowers (1594) • United States 3 Aug 08

I cook a lot but I'm unable to drive, so I'm often left to improvise rather than use a recipe because I can't get to the store to get the needed ingredients. The other day, I made muffins and wanted a crumb topping. We didn't...
