Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
Funny how you really take things for granted until they are gone. (I mean, it is an old cliche; everyone says it, it's not like it's unknown) But yet, we still, as humans, do this regularly. When our hierarchy of needs are met, we sort of check that box and look for the next first-world … Continue reading Thank You
I once took a graphic design class, right after college (I couldn't quit learning!), and one of the assignments was to make 100 tiny paintings of one topic. We were limited to what that topic could be, and the teacher required it be from a list that she had provided. From the list, I chose … Continue reading The Moon
What's your background? No, I don't mean ethnicity, nationality, or "where you're from." We're in the age of Coronavirus, y'all! I mean, what's your zoom/interview background? I know that zoom has some cool background functionality. I'm talking about when you can't use that (i.e. my Mac doesn't have enough processor power for it, lol), or … Continue reading Your Background
Ok, I know in my last post I said I was back to blogging... I ended up working on some new projects (still doing that), but now that we are all confined to our homes, I am able to carve out a little more time and thought here. In fact, each one of these days … Continue reading Why We Get Dolled Up
Hello world! It's been awhile since I last posted, three years and three months (or so). I took a break and the break kept going... and going... and going... but my mind didn't. So, I've come back to my old friend, "the blog" to restart the spewing of brain matter and ideas. And in this … Continue reading It’s Back On
I sit and stare at the top of your head, trying to memorize every single white hair, the angle of your ears, the slope of your shoulders. Then it comes to me, "just take a picture, you'll remember it longer," and so I do just that. I'm dreading putting you to sleep. Not because of … Continue reading My Heart
I know I haven't been posting recipes as often that I thought I would. Truth be told, I only want to post recipes on here that I actually like. So, although I'm cooking quite a bit for this class, some of the recipes aren't up to my high "palatability" standards. I actually liked this recipe … Continue reading Cauliflower “Steaks” with Olive Pistou
With all the media surrounding sustainable fishing practices and the safety of tuna, it might be a good idea to take a look at alternatives to the Chicken of the Sea. No tuna tuna. It's sounds a bit cray, I realize, but I was actually really surprised at the likeness this recipe had to actual … Continue reading Plant-Based Cooking: No Tuna Tuna
When I was a youngin' my Dad used to take my brother and I on hikes through the trails and forests of Washington state. Every time we'd embark for the great outdoors, he'd tell us upon arrival, "Remember, if you get lost, hug a tree." Fortunately, I never had to take that advice, like a … Continue reading Hug a Tree
I've decided when I've had a bad day, yoga is my battle weapon of choice. Since I moved to a new part of LA, the choices in yoga are pretty lacking in my neighborhood, so I've turned to cooking instead. And why not? I'm way behind on my plant-based cooking course, so I decided to … Continue reading Plant-Based Cooking: Asparagus Risotto
