Half-Irish Soda Bread
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Participating in the St. Patrick Day festivities, I made a loaf of Irish soda bread. And what a cinch it was to make! I used Joy’s recipe here, opting to get a little excited with the green food coloring. The bread was chewy and soft on the inside but the skin [...]
Welcoming the Year of the Ox
It was a mild and beautiful Sunday for the Lunar New Year Parade & Festival in Chinatown. What a glorious afternoon!

NY Resolution #1: Without music life would be a mistake. (Nietzsche)
2009 Resolution #1: Hear more new music. Fresh songs for fresh memories. I miss buying music. Music you can delicately pull from an lp sleeve, lay gently on a record player, wait the 2 seconds of cracklin’. I miss spending long hours in record shops. Those priorities, those discretionary funds. Today, without Joe giving me music, I’d [...]

This 114 mile trail that spans Connecticut to New Hampshire and has been on my “before [...]
