Uncanny preserves — thinking outside the jar. Preserving the best of South-East New Brunswick. January 19, 2012. February 11, 2012. Armed with grapefruits, lemons and limes, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to try out some new recipes and a new style of preserve I’ve never conquered. Vanilla Cupcake with Grapefruit Curd. The recipe results in a creamy, delicious and decadent curd. The one thing I noticed was the recipe didn’t state to use unsalted. My next citrus project is this:. I use a lot of Grand M...

Half a Bite: The world is awesome

http://halfabite.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-world-is-awesome.html

In which some fleeting thoughts (and sometimes baked goods) become pixels on your screen. Friday, November 9, 2012. The world is awesome. A few days after the miscarriage, I took a much needed day off. It was the best thing that I've done in a long time. It was a rare warm day for late October. My plan was to see where my heart would take me, camera in hand, and also throw in lunch with a friend and a relaxing massage in the afternoon. I met up with my friend Alyson. So when I'm feeling down, I look up, ...

this blessed life: expectation

http://knit-me.blogspot.com/2011/09/expectation.html

Red Tent Henna and Blessing Ceremonies. Saturday, September 03, 2011. I always thought that the use of the term "expecting" for pregnancy was odd. What are we "expecting"? Expecting a child to be born? Well, obviously. Expecting there to be. But there's another side to the word "expecting". It isn't a guarantee. Nothing is certain: nothing. To be quite honest with you, I don't even entirely expect to get a baby at the end of this. I'm keenly aware that sometimes you just.don't.". I am struck today by the...

this blessed life: Sunday morning

http://knit-me.blogspot.com/2015/01/sunday-morning.html

Red Tent Henna and Blessing Ceremonies. Sunday, January 11, 2015. Mom slipped away gently, softly, slowly at 11:15pm last night, January 10. Just after 4 we met with her doctors and decided it was best to allow her to go in her time. Her last hours were so peaceful. So calm and still. There was laughter at her bedside. There was music. I lay my head on her shoulder, taking my last comfort from her simply being. Just being there. Just being. And it was good, so good. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

this blessed life: guesswork

http://knit-me.blogspot.com/2015/04/guesswork.html

Red Tent Henna and Blessing Ceremonies. Thursday, April 02, 2015. Here's the thing: I don't know what I'm doing. Parenting, educating, all of it: I really don't know what I'm doing. Here's the other thing: no one else does either. That is not to say that we're all utterly clueless, but we are all of us, to some extent or another, making it up as we go along. We're guessing. Who knows. I sure don't. So when it comes to computer and IT literacy, I'm merely making informed guesses. I recently read a blo...

this blessed life: On wet-nursing and unconditional love

http://knit-me.blogspot.com/2011/10/on-wet-nursing-and-unconditional-love.html

Red Tent Henna and Blessing Ceremonies. Friday, October 21, 2011. On wet-nursing and unconditional love. Earlier this week, I met a baby who, at five days old, had lost two pounds. And I nursed him. I wondered what it would be like to nurse someone else's child. The first time I nursed my own child it felt a little strange, such a new and singular experience: would it feel odd when the child was not my own, when I'd only met the family moments earlier? Unbeknownst to her, she had shared something of hers...
