Getting together the Tuesday delivery. It’s a very windy, very cold one today. Hopefully these baguettes and oat breads and secret pickles will keep you all warm. We’ve pushed pasta week a bit until I am more recovered. I am out of bed for half-days but barely up to speed (#don’tgetshingles).

Friday in Pictures: Winter fun
let the images tell you their story
Duendesday: my little witch
Oh, my little burgeoning witch; to where or what direction will her witchy ways blossom? Will she be a Hedge or Folk Witch like me? A Forest Witch, a Kitchen Witch, a Faerie Witch? Somehow I see her (though I can’t tell her, she needs to feel it out on her own) as a CeremonialContinue reading “Duendesday: my little witch”
What’s Happening Tuesday

Duendesday: a new day
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} There’s going to be a new sheriff around here, and it’s not going to be some sweet little sassy 10 yr old I know – ha! No, she’s a good girl but we need to reassess the way we do things. She’s at a new junctureContinue reading “Duendesday: a new day”
Tuesday Happens
There is truly a cruel streak in the weather lately – not just here, but all over. We know why and how and all that, but it doesn’t make it less disconcerting. But here, we expected a good snowstorm (which I enjoy, it’s insulating, beautiful, fun, and since it is Winter here, it is theContinue reading “Tuesday Happens”
