1. I was preparing a recipe the other day and realized I owned zero tarragon, despite the overflowing spice shelf: 2. While slicing a shallot for my dinner, I was greeted with an obscene gesture. Totally uncalled for, really. The saucy shallot quickly became, well, sauce. 3. I either have a cold or my sinuses [...]

I’m a bulb. This is my answer for why I’ve been feeling hibernate-y and uncreative and unsocial and grumpy this winter. I’m a bulb that turns inward until the sun comes out again, when I can synthesize the sunlight into huge bursts of creative energy that turn into something beautiful, after the frost is gone [...]
My Bread and Butter
Posted in cookery, family, glee on September 6, 2007 | 5 Comments »
When I was growing up I was sometimes a foolish child. I ran around the outdoors, played in the forests and fields and creeks, and helped my Dad chop down trees. Tomboy.

1. The weather has gone bat-shit crazy, as is usual here for March. Yesterday it rained all morning, got sunny and warm at lunchtime, then went grey and evil during the afternoon. Then it snowed all night with high winds (my apartment building? It sways in the wind. Yes.), and that seems to be the [...]

It’s so cold that there is no moisture in the air anymore. Everything is drying up and freaking out. I live in fear of the inevitable bloody nose, my hands appear to have aged 75 years in the last week, my hair is static-y and clinging to my face and neck which is making me [...]
