Fall roasting is just our favorite. We fall back on sheetpan roasting once or twice a week — in the Summer (we call it a Broil, though it’s generally just high heat roasting now that we have a true convection): we fill the shallow pan with even size pieces of young peppers, cherry tomatoes, babyContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Seasonal Sheetpan Roast”

Tuesday Happenings: Samhain Energies
So many great moon energies to go with our mid-Autumn celebrations; the New Moon on the 1st will re-invigorate our connections. The waning moon feels fitting to me right now, as we ride the wave closer to the line between life and death — almost touching before rebounding, like the space between the inhale andContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Samhain Energies”
Duendesday — the teen shift
We think because she’s already such an empathetic and sweet gal, this ‘teen shift thing’ will not be as painful as it is for some. It’s not great, mind you — she’s still testing boundaries and throwing a little shade but it’s very performative and feels very shallow; we don’t expect it to stick around.Continue reading “Duendesday — the teen shift”

Mid-Week (or rather, our weekend)
I had a long conversation with a wonderful person in our community the other day about all the possibilities right now — in fact, I’ve had this conversation quite a lot lately with many. About what we’re trying to do and how we’re trying to accomplish it, and the things we will have to changeContinue reading “Mid-Week (or rather, our weekend)”
Tuesday Happenings: welcoming the good that comes from the bad…
So, we got a email letter yesterday sent to our website (I’ll share it below because why not…it’s interesting to see people’s words and thinking, but without their name because public shaming people who do not know any better is not our thing) which solidified how we’ve been feeling in this area lately. We knowContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: welcoming the good that comes from the bad…”
