{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} I will not be surprised when this child grows up to be either a meteorologist or a conservationist or even a National Geographic photographer – mostly because she has no care of weather. She loves all weather – she loves to be in it, to immerseContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday!”

Monday’s Muse
You will remember… ~ Pablo Neruda You will remember that leaping streamwhere sweet aromas rose and trembled,and sometimes a bird, wearing waterand slowness, its winter feathers. You will remember those gifts from the earth:indelible scents, gold clay,weeds in the thicket and crazy roots,magical thorns like swords. You’ll remember the bouquet you picked,shadows and silent water,bouquetContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
Duendesday!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Duende was very excited to see some active but light snowing when she woke up today. Just a coating, mostly in the crevices and paths of the grass but a few icicles to really make her happy. She’s playing Parcheesi with Daddy right now but thenContinue reading “Duendesday!”
Haps for Tuesday
I spend a lot of time at my desk lately – between teaching, tutoring, and writing my own dissertation my desk is my anchor. Therefore, I spend a lot of time looking out my window at the goings-on in the world. I don’t see much of the world, per se, but I can see theContinue reading “Haps for Tuesday”

There are probably more I’m neglecting but the reality is that there are many variables and much of the time, they all co-ordinate into one big happy explosion of delicious baked goods. Sometimes, however,Continue reading “Tuesday Happenings”

Recipe Thursday: Roasted Roots with Figs, Goat Cheese, & Almonds
This is such a great dish. It’s low-maintenance, super sexy, and can work as a side if you wish or has everything you need as a main course. It’s seasonal and substitutable with some things other than roots (like cauliflower or butternut/cup/acorn squash), and generally I don’t prefer Red Beets (they bleed too much) orContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Roasted Roots with Figs, Goat Cheese, & Almonds”
Tuesday Happenings
A couple years ago now we decided to charcuterie a pig liver, wrapping it in linen, tying it, and hanging it from a hook in our ‘dining room’. We were ecstatic to have hanging meat. We ended up being too nervous to try it after we left it for a ridiculous amount of time (somehowContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
