Returning food to the sacred
I feel like our evening dining is beginning to deteriorate. As more of the house is packed up, or in total disarray, it’s harder for me to focus on cooking. This is compounded by the fact that I really don’t want to do much more grocery shopping as I want to go through and finish […]
More travel this week. I have reached a point where it’s just common place to be shuffling through TSA lines and riding on planes. I’ve got it down now, even the gluten free meal/snacks I pack for myself to eat on the plane. It’s an oddly nice feeling, if I do say so. This week […]
This week was madness. Once the party last week was over, I went into high gear with packing, cleaning and sorting the house. I was also on a deadline for a report I needed to write and my time was pretty tight. Jon left the island mid week to head back to California for WordCamp […]
This week started with me packing and heading to my mom and brothers house. As some of you reading this know, my mother has Alzheimer’s and as she gets worse, they are both needed support in the daily living and help with a transition that makes sense for both of them. (My brother has Down’s […]
Last week of the year was busy but so much fun. Jon and I had friends come stay with us over the New Years and this meant a lot of eating out and great food. Being at the cabin though has given me the beginnings of restoration. I’ve been tired and sick for at least […]
This week has been heavenly. Getting back to our home (which is really our second home) meant I was back in the land of my kitchen and familiar spaces. We got in late Monday night from our time in Florida with Jon’s mom and first thing the following morning, I was off to the market […]
I’m tired. Not only am I carrying the plague (aka cold) that I borrowed from Spenser a day before leaving Pennsylvania but Jon and I have been traveling now for over 2 1/2 months. This tends to be my limit. After 2 months out, I grow weary for home, my kitchen and my bed. So […]
This week we’re in Punta Cana and we are renting a place with a fully stocked kitchen. It’s been lovely! Still eating out, but less and enjoying getting to cook again. I made my first Mangu, which is crazy easy. Next week I’m going to try my hand at my own Arepa. Cross your fingers […]
I’m noticing how challenging this new schedule has become for me and for having dinner in the evening together. And by challenging I mean, that it hasn’t lent itself to some sort of orderly routine. In Maui, I had finally struck gold for myself in the daily schedule department. Waking up at 5AM I had […]
