I’m drowning in greens. No, seriously.
I came home with a LOT of greens from the farmers’ market. I already had some beet greens and one bunch of golden chard (I couldn’t resist, and it was one dollar). Then at the market on Saturday I bought two bunches of kale (russian and some other kind) and [...]

In my previous life at a desk job, I ate oatmeal every weekday. I had my little pint-sized Mason jar that [...]

I’ll admit, I’ve been sucky on the breakfast front lately. I’m a picky breakfast eater — I don’t like anything sweet or cold, and it has to be sturdy. I’ve been eating a lot of oatmeal (thick rolled oats + boiling water + sugar), but I’m also easily bored. I decided to take back breakfast [...]

I was wandering outside today, and guess what I found hiding in the rosebushes?
What IS that? Is it trying to camouflage itself, or does it just have a special affinity for flowers and bad metaphors?
…okay, you’ve got me. I knit a uterus.
A friend of mine is having some uterine trouble, so I did the obvious [...]
