I am not a gardener. My proudest accomplishment is not killing the Spawn of Larry the Jade Plant, a jade plant at my brother-in-law’s work the size of a triceratops. But I have always helped my Dad plant his garden, and harvesting’s not a problem– I am a cook, a former CSA sharer, and [...]

I should have added NYJLM’s 365 photoblog to my post the other day. She is great with the macro, and unusual angles. And I am jealous in winter of her Florida home.

I’ve been behind on my reading of all the blogs I so enjoy, and just caught up with this entry by Susan Carlin, about her journey to becoming a full-time artist. Susan’s a gifted, gifted painter, with an eye for emotion and expression, but she can turn a phrase quite nicely, too, and I enjoyed [...]

Single serving spinach salad, originally uploaded by BipolarLawyerCook.
Last night’s supper, a spinach salad with warm bacon vinaigrette, heavy on the protein. I was feeling the need for minerals and fat– I suppose another sign I am feeling better, and that the horrible carb cravings of medication withdrawal are passing.
To make: I de-stemmed, tore, [...]

… or y’all, for my southern readers. What you see above is one of my favorite places—at my computer, with you, emailing with you, IMing with you, writing for you, reading your posts and comments, drinking my tea and enjoying the pleasure of your company.
When I started this blog, it was as a woman thrashing, [...]

An assortment of things in my head right now…
I am enjoying the new/old chair with the fancy upholstered seat my friend L. re-cycled to me after getting a new dining set. It’s just the right height and depth for sitting at the table with my legs up on the chair across from me, while [...]

I had the chance to meet up with Sara of Moving Right Along (and her equally amazing friends Dena and Sylvia) on Sunday at my own Jamaica Plain’s Arnold Arboretum. Sara got to break in her new prosthetic leg, earned with battle scars after her most recent cancer-go-round, [...]

My lovely readers, you know and embrace your inner beauty, right? Well, my good friend C. forwarded me an email reminding me to explicitly embrace my inner beauty tomorrow, on International No Diet Day. So, take a day off from media images (unless they’re Queen Latifah, or Salma Hayek, or Glenn Close) and eat what [...]

Ok, it’s perhaps anticlimactic to name my new bra as my second-ever secret girl(s)friend, but really, meet my new inner beauty. I introduce to you the “Barely There” Invisible Look Underwire Bra.
