A wonderful member recently gave us a generous helping of Thai Basil they grew. Oh! Such a lovely and heady gift. The baker took one sniff and begged for Drunken Noodle (Veranda in Portland is his favorite). I’ve had this Thai dish and I like it but I’ve never made it. So, in true RockContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Drunken Noodle”

Special Edition: Happenings and what not…
Our week has been a little topsy-turvy and it’s been hard to get the blog submissions on the ‘proper days’, but I don’t want to deprive you of all the news. We had a big corporate order of bagels which went swimmingly and today we have a few extra ‘surprise’ bagels, mmmmm, sourdough bagels. IContinue reading “Special Edition: Happenings and what not…”
Recipe Thursday: Pozole con Pollo
I think the last recipe was a Summer stew of some sort, for which I apologize (ish). Both because summer and stew don’t seem like good friends (a point we would obviously argue), and because, well, I already did that — but in my defense, you don’t really want to hear about the millions ofContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Pozole con Pollo”

Meanwhile, the garden is looking scraggly butContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Catching up”

Musings on a Rainy Monday at my desk
5 Quotes from Books at Hand (a peek at what I do when I’m not at the store): “The post-anthropocentric ethics of expanded obligations becomes a way of taking responsibility, by the human, for various sorts of thickenings of the universe, across different scales, and of responding to the tangled mesh of everyday connections andContinue reading “Musings on a Rainy Monday at my desk”

Special Duendesday issue on a Friday
{life with a curious and crazy officially 13 yr old} My adorable little pea is now a teenager – when did that happen? She is a glorious young person with certainly a mind of her own. She’s kind, she’s ridiculously fashionable and funny, she’s smart and creative. Of course, she is woefully undisciplined (in theContinue reading “Special Duendesday issue on a Friday”
