Get ready for Eggplant Chana Masala! Where’s the sun? Where is it? I’ve searched high and low but ohhh well, it seems I’ll have to wait a bit longer to feel the sand between my toes and the warm sea breeze… and until then there are always healthy Indian curries (and singing ‘Here comes […] Read more…
Oh my, what a big weekend that was! Winter Solstice! SuperMoon! Exclamation marks! I decided we needed to stop the madness and get grounded again with a big, hot-pot of Veg Chilli.

I love Winter Solstice, especially the part about the shortest day of the year occurring only a few short weeks into our dark, stormy weather. It gives me hope that I will survive the rest of winter and not morph permanently into some […] Read more…
I have a regular weekday morning ritual. Get to work, wake up, go to the kitchen to make a coffee, and check my horoscope in the daily paper. If I don’t like what I read, I read the horoscopes of my friends and family until I forget all about my horrorscope. Just like kindred […] Read more…
