One Lonely Bee: December 2013
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Christmas Eve, 2013. I'm sitting on our couch at home, sipping hot honeyed milk and licking cookie crumbs from my lips. The dog and one of the cats are asleep at my feet. I'm on a break from work. The kitchen's a mess, the tree is up, and I'm mostly done with Christmas shopping. My mom's present is simply going to have to be an epiphany gift. Fortunately, I still have these Old Fashioned Ginger Cookies. By Hilaire Walden. The page wi...

One Lonely Bee: Mochi with my Sister
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2014/07/mochi-with-my-sister.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Mochi with my Sister. Eventually, the buzz will simmer down and we'll sit together for a family dinner. Sometimes, we'll have the chance to squeeze in projects. Once such weekend, Sister H planned and plotted so that she and I could make Mochi together. Mochi is a Japanese sweet made of sugar and rice flour mixed into a paste, steamed, and then stuffed and shaped. It's one of my favorite things to eat. We used this video tutorial as a guide.

One Lonely Bee: February 2015
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Friday, February 27, 2015. A renewed attempt.again. SoI really am bad at blogging. A good blogger will update regularly. I do not. But I'm back for now, for who knows how long. Maybe a couple of weeks, maybe a few months, maybe the rest of the year. I'm not reliable when it comes to writing, but I'm going to try for a bit. Two More Kale Soda Cocktails. Makes 1 drink, or 2 just-a-little-bit-for-me-thanks drinks. 05 oz Simple Syrup. 05 oz Lemon Juice. I'm a 20-someth...

One Lonely Bee: June 2014
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Friday, June 13, 2014. My best friend, Casey. Moved away a few years ago, and I missed her horribly. She would visit once in a while and we'd have the best time traipsing around the city, eating lunch alfresco, exploring places we had never been. It was on one of these visits that I found out her favorite fruit was watermelon. Then, after she went back out of state, I found this recipe. I made some modifications, of course. I chose an entirely different cake recipe...

One Lonely Bee: August 2013
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Monday, August 26, 2013. Honestly, this is ridiculous. I've considered myself an aspiring writer since I was nine, but in that entire space I've not kept up with a single writing project to completion- this blog included. I've rarely outright quit a project, but I've let things sit on back burners for months (even years) at a time. I could say I've been busy, but I've not been so busy that I couldn't write. I'd love to move. That would really be the biggest per...

My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Sunday, February 23, 2014. Dueling with my Banjo. Allow me to introduce a very good enemy of mine. Currently, its name is Ahem. As in the answer to the question "have you practiced your banjo lately? And poor Ahem is left in its corner another night. Other than that, Ahem is all but abandoned. So why don't I play with it more often? Ahem isn't the problem. I am. Go ahead. I'll wait. It's tough to know where to start. Four chords and hardly any music theory. Bas...

One Lonely Bee: March 2014
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Tuesday, March 25, 2014. I was granted an unexpected day off this week. Monday was canceled due to lack of interest, which gave me a free day to do as I wished. Things I wished to do did not include grocery shopping. So, a challenge: make dinner with a nearly empty fridge and a cupboard holding only the bare essentials. The last thing the internet needs is another Slow Cooker Lentil Soup recipe. But this is really good and I made it all by myself. Stir all ingredie...

One Lonely Bee: September 2013
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Sunday, September 29, 2013. A Few Weeks In. I've been a nanny now for a few weeks and everything has gone swimmingly! The week starts with planning meals and grocery shopping, and then I'll nanny and cook until Friday evening. I write in my downtime (and wander pinterest. For hours] and play on neopets [ here's my BD pet. So far, I've made Colorado Burritos. With Creamed Onions, Chicken Kale Lasagna, Shrimp Gyoza. It sounds beautiful, my friend. The same old strugg...

One Lonely Bee: November 2013
http://onelonelybee.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
My story. The ups, the downs, the food. Saturday, November 16, 2013. Eat, Drink, Be Merry - the reason I bake. But, I'm learning. Slowly but surely, I'm learning. I'm dealing with post traumatic stress (I'm told that's a pretty good phrase for it) and emotional repression (.sounds right, come to think of it). More on that as I may. For now, I'm wrapping myself in mystery as a shock patient in a blanket. So, my blanket is mystery and my teddy bear is cooking. Sharing pleasure and a source of health is the...
