Recipe: Indian Dinner
A few years ago (alright, more than a few years ago, as we were living in Boston), a friend in publishing gave us a copy of Sudha Koul’s Curries Without Worries. A slim little Intro to Indian Cuisine with no pictures – I thought, “I am never going to use this, there’s no food porn!” (whichContinue reading “Recipe: Indian Dinner”
Duendesday
{a day to check in with 9 yr old’s doings} This week’s “inventions” included a zipline-snack-delivery system…a strapped-in-swing for her stuffed dinosaur, a blanket-in-a-box pool, a drawn plan turned into miniature model of her play-area garden design, finger-knitted finger warmers, and some magickal cake designs for my birthday next month. She’s a big helper onContinue reading “Duendesday”
Tuesday: Happenings
Many of our projekts are long-term planning and/or big projekts that come to pass in this ‘slow’ season. They are not big and flashy plans or happenings right now – just the nice even keel of doing. Like the bread – which I am sure you never tire of hearing about right now. And theContinue reading “Tuesday: Happenings”
Monday Thoughts
“As the Christians have their story of a Fall from a prehistoric Eden, the Hindus have a belief that the world travels through four different ages, or yugas. The age we are currently living in is the Kali yuga: a dark age characterised by degeneration and greed. Avarice and a general disrespect for life define the kali yuga: itContinue reading “Monday Thoughts”

Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Cheddar Bread Pudding
What to do with leftover bread? This is never a problem for us – we have many lovely uses. We cube and make croutons (just bake with olive oil, s&p, maybe herbs until crispy), we freeze for later for stuffings and bread puddings or even just Pappa al Pomodoroo (Tuscan tomato bread soup – freshContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Cheddar Bread Pudding”
Duendesday
Yes, you heard it right! It’s Duendesday! What does that mean – well, a couple of things. See, here at the house, it means that Duende is in charge of meals but hopefully it will mean more as she gets a hold of the possibilities. Maybe she will decide what projekts we tackle that dayContinue reading “Duendesday”
Happenings: February/March
What’s Happening? What a weird word – I can’t help it, how did it come to be (to hap)?: happen (v.) late 14c., happenen, “to come to pass, occur, come about, be the case,” literally “occur by hap, have the (good or bad) fortune (to do, be, etc.);” extension (with verb-formative -n) of the more common hap (v.). OldContinue reading “Happenings: February/March”
Monday Thoughts
It snowed. It snowed all yesterday and never emptied the sky, although the clouds looked so low and heavy they might drop all at once with a thud. The light is diffuse and hueless, like the light on paper inside a pewter bowl. The snow looks light and the sky dark, but in fact theContinue reading “Monday Thoughts”
