Duendesday: Much to do
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} She’s an opportunist for any moment to scooter; keeping not one, but two scooters in the car just in case she can convince someone to scooter with her. When we finally made it to the Farmer’s Market (after a long Winter), Duende was less interested inContinue reading “Duendesday: Much to do”
On a Tuesday
I do love to grow things. As much as my body doesn’t always enjoy it, I like to rake and turn the earth a bit just to smell the deep musky life brewing in there. With the warm sun and things greening up, it’s a joy to be out there. Buds on trees, birds matingContinue reading “On a Tuesday”
Recipe Thursday: Hot Lobster Dip & Tortilla Chips
As with many of our recipes, I’m all about the ‘kitchen-sink technique’; it’s all about what we have on hand. I prefer recipes that I can easily substitute something of a like kind and that it satisfies all three of our diverse palates (harder to come by with some dishes for the kid but weContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Hot Lobster Dip & Tortilla Chips”
What’s Happening Tuesday
Besides one little lump in the driveway, under the construction materials due for the Transfer Station, is the last bit of snow on the front side of the property.

Thursday: Just Food Pics
I know, I tease you all by never posting photos of the food. There is just such a ‘thing’ about pictures of food on the interwebs these days, it’s funnier if I don’t indulge you. Ha! But here are some random pics of food and food like bits. Enjoy.
Duendesday: Early Spring
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Duende loves Spring. She’s happy to have the sunshine and longer days. Running around to see what the creek is doing this time of year, doing hula hoop tricks, even trying to ride her bike on the firmer ground. Which is hard around here – weContinue reading “Duendesday: Early Spring”

Recipe Thursday: Maple Weekend Baked Beans and Fish Cakes
I have to say that I have always hated Baked Beans – there was something about the grainy texture of the beans and the sweetness that never appealed to me. And then I started making them myself and now I can balance the sweet with the savory more effectively. My lovely Cooking Down East byContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Maple Weekend Baked Beans and Fish Cakes”
