Nothing to fear...

Well, except for the rapist. One of the things that make it possible for me to live in the city is getting out of the city. Here in Philadelphia, I am able to do that without actually leaving. The Fairmont Park system is a huge network of trees, trails and water nestled inside the City of Brotherly Love, and over...

Simplicity and the fig.

I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity... Oliver Wendell Holmes When I spend an entire afternoon cleaning up after a Snow Leopard encounter (the new Mac OS guaranteed to turn all QuickBooks files to confetti) followed by a three-hour...

And I'm beyond your peripheral vision, so you might want to turn your head...cause some day you're gonna be hungry... and eat all of the words that you just said...

God defend me from that Welsh fairy, lest he transform me to a piece of cheese! William Shakespeare Ever since I read Barbara Kigsolver’s awesome book, Animal Vegetable Miracle a few years ago, I have had a hankerin’ to make cheese (and to move back to the country, but that’s another story…) Ultimately, I want to make mozzarella, but I...

Salad Days

Earth laughs in flower… Ralph Waldo Emerson Two farm markets in two days. Now that’s my idea of a great weekend. Yesterday was a kitchen-extravaganza: First, chicken stock with the leftover carcass from the brick chicken and a triple batch of tomato sauce (actually, here in Philly we call it “gravy”) so that I have some extra in the freezer...

Brick Chicken and Quinoa...

Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings... Jane Austen There’s an expression: If you want something done, give it to a busy person. As an expert on the receiving end of this equation, I have determined it to be a corollary to Newton’s Third Law of Physics (for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction) as well...

Rock on well4good!

I think I'm constantly in a state of adjustment...Patti Smith Adjusting. Working. Adapting. Working.

Second, we’ve had three really successful workshops (see photos) that are a combination...

It’s been sort of a whirlwind… Barack Obama On Fridays I work from home doing paperwork, phone calls and the myriad of the other things that didn’t get done during the week. It’s usually a pretty relaxed day and often it includes a long run in the woods or an hour of ice hockey with the Mother Puckers. I look...

WinterGreen... with a bit of purple.

Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it… Johann Wolfgang von Goethe In these dark days of winter, when it is especially hard to imagine that January will ever end, keep the hearth going with delicious, seasonal food that keeps...
