Goodbye, Summer
Goodbye, dear summer. You moved so swiftly through your weeks. But first, a few more bites… Goodbye, peak season for juicy and tender summer fruits. Soon it’ll be time for apples, pumpkins and figs. Goodbye, peaches and characteristically-summer stone fruit, best warm-skinned and taunt on the beach. Goodbye, grilled peaches, a different entity altogether, may [...]
Happy Independence Day!
The Electrician‘s Betsy Ross flapping in the wind. Fresh cut fruit. Oh watermelon, why art thou so temperamental? I husked 20 ears of corn for a big party. Here they sit waiting for a boil. Chopped peppers and onion prepped for the grill. Dinner is served. Roasted corn, red cabbage slaw and a grilled Kielbasa [...]
Berry Baby
Strawberry pancakes–golden, thick and fluffy pancakes pebbled with slices of strawberry. Food Perfection. Use this recipe for perfect pancakes. Fruit salad with nothing but the best stuff. No pushing around boring cantaloupe and tasteless honeydew. Just the most coveted in the fruit salad: strawberries, pineapple and watermelon tossed with fresh mint. I am going to name this [...]

[Tofurky, Vegenaise, Dijon mustard, strips of tempeh bacon, local tomatoes and sprouts in between three slices of soft, toasted spelt bread.] Nothing fancy, I know, [...]
Interstate 70 to State Number 8
I prefer to shop in musky, dank barns; I like the effort and reward of the hunt. A rack of all of the same thing is very unappealing to me. This is why I have thrift shopped since I was old enough to make my own money. Unfortunately the state of thrifting for apparel these [...]
It must be the colors…
I have a crush on this blog. Andrea’s images and lists and self-generated art projects make Hula Seventy a major source of blogspiration. In homage, here are shots from my day of observing the colors around me. Layered peeling paint is always a beautiful sight. This will be the focus of one of my summer [...]
Thailand Foodie!
Urai went out of her way to make sure I was properly nourished. She took great care in learning my taste preferences and dietary restrictions. Below is a partial list of some of the delicious food I’ve tasted in Bangsai: My first lunch: Fresh spring rolls (tarot root, glass noodle and soy tofu wrapped in [...]
