One of those days when…… Big blocks of time spent wrassling the old Keurig coffeemaker, trying to convince it that it was not yet deceased. Unfortunately, in spite of my many ministrations, mortality proved to be the case. Of course, replacing it is such sweet sorrow, seeing as Keurig has as many slightly differentiated models as Garmin does GPS units.

On the up side, I made a batch of Wild Rice Casserole from the recipe (slightly enhanced) from the good old Family Tree Cookbook (compiled in 2005 by Ruthie and Niki.) The casserole just came out of the oven, and it looks delightful, and smells ever better.
