{life with a curious and crazy 13 yr old} Duende’s new motto is “Grilled Cheese for Life” which might contradict with her obsession over pickles (and eating pickles with cheese, or yogurt, or really anything) but this kid lives in the mastery of contradictions. It’s generally a beautiful place full of art, dancing, crazy fashion,Continue reading “Duendesday: Master-maker”

Tuesday Happenings: Bring on the snow
Alas, alack, it seems our Imbolc dinner party is going to be canceled this year. We’ve had a roughly annual gathering for almost 10 years now so I am so sad that we can’t just figure out how to work it with our new shop/baking schedule. It seems at some level this season, all ofContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Bring on the snow”
Friday in Pictures: the duende is strong with this one
{let the images tell you a story} 4 years ago: Now:
Recipe Thursday: Harira
We were very fortunate to have travelled to Morocco when we were younger and stayed with extended extended family. We travelled with a Moroccan and got to see all the in’s and out’s of a couple of the big cities and some of the countryside. We visited Casablanca and Rabat, stayed in Mohammedia, took aContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Harira”
Tuesday 2-Do List
Get crackin’. Let’s hope the storm doesn’t deter us (or fill the basement with water)…
Monday’s Musing
(book at hand, on a snow day at home — actually, i pulled out Maxine Hong Kingston’s Fifth Book of Peace, and inside found a bookmark gift from years ago from the baker with his words which feel perfect right now…) This timethe quiet spaces thatfall betweenlike snow in a forestto cover the exposedgroundas thoughContinue reading “Monday’s Musing”
Catching up on a Thursday, with a recipe thrown in: Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce…
I know, I know, not really a thing, this ‘catching up on a Thursday’. It’s supposed to be recipe Thursday but maybe we’ll just do everything at once. That is certainly how it feels most days right now — how do we fit just everything we need to do in one day — we haveContinue reading “Catching up on a Thursday, with a recipe thrown in: Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce…”
Duendesday: Aftermath/Solstice Saga
{life with a curious and crazy 13 yr old} As D would tell it, our Solstice was cancelled and our celebrations ruined. She’s not one for silver linings yet. From a kid perspective, it was pretty terrible — all of her expected happenings and excitement deflated by means beyond her (or any of ours) control.Continue reading “Duendesday: Aftermath/Solstice Saga”
Tuesday Happenings: Minor Failures
Sometimes things just don’t work out as planned and it’s how you respond or recover from disappointment or change. We won’t even get into how the weather has been messing with our schedule and ability to function. We were surprised this week by one endeavor we thought we had down — canning applesauce. It’s aContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Minor Failures”
Settling In to the Season: a day adrift
Between the festivities of last week (Shop Local Saturday, our First Year Shop Anniversary — thank you all who came out to listen to the baker sing and celebrate with us!, and the finalization of my degree process — with Two Fat Cats Bakery cupcakes and a little effervescence with folks at Table Bar) andContinue reading “Settling In to the Season: a day adrift”
