Tilted Glass: January 2010
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 18, 2010. Banana Bread for Kids of All Ages. In the past, I've done a variety of banana bread recipes with or without nuts of all kinds. I've made banana muffins, peanut butter banana bread, Amish banana cake and many many banana yogurt smoothies. I adore banana breads both fresh and toasted. Is there anything more delightful than toasted banana bread with cream cheese or butter? And chia seeds I had bought a few months ago on a fit of health after reading about them in a running book....

Tilted Glass: November 2009
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Eating on the Cheap. Of course, Pollan and other food researchers have discussed the total cost of all that prepared, processed food and fast food- think government subsidies and poor health costs. This weekend we bought bok choy at a Chinese food market- tender, green, sandy-as-could-be bok choy. Price: a ridiculous $2. At a local supermarket the same bok choy would have cost me three times as much. I don't know why- supply/demand volume? In a medium stock pot, melt the but...

Tilted Glass: Off we go, into the wild blue yonder...
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010/06/off-we-gointo-wild-blue-yonder.html
Friday, June 11, 2010. Off we go, into the wild blue yonder. I love living in our nation's capitol. There's always something going on, something to do, and most of them are FREE! The US Air Force Band plays at the Air Force Memorial every Wednesday and Friday night from June through August. Since Heatherly was working, the girls and I took some chairs, a blanket, some bubbles and camped out under the clear, blue sky on a spectacular night with warm breezes and great music. On the Road to Burma.

Tilted Glass: So much, so little
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010/07/so-much-so-little.html
Thursday, July 8, 2010. So much, so little. All that we need for the next six weeks is in a closet. Everything else has been wrapped, boxed, padded and lugged down the crazy town home stairs and then packed into crates- most headed for a three-year storage and a few to meet us in Rangoon later. Take them away again, please, before I figure out how to squeeze them into our ridiculous luggage count. Stow and go, I say. Glad you guys had the boat trip before heading to Burma.

Tilted Glass: April 2010
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. The aquarium at the Baltimore Inner Harbor was the first choice but a quick check online showed sold-out conditions on that attraction. So, I opted for a trip out to Front Royal, VA and the Skyline Caverns. Today is another beautiful day. Maybe we'll take the girls to the park and climb some trees and then go for ice cream. Simple. My new motto: ride dinosaurs. Monday, April 5, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). On the Road to Burma. The doc is out there. Out There On The Dunes.

Tilted Glass: March 2010
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 29, 2010. Spring blasted in on us with a week of sun and warmth and then crept back to its more normal rainy self this week. The rain suits me today as we enter Passion Week before Resurrection Sunday. I grew up saying "Easter," but my short trip to Uganda taught me this new term: Resurrection Sunday. Is this Resurrection Sunday? No, Palm Sunday.". Easter, for those who want to know, comes from Middle English which itself comes from Old English and then goes back to Germanic Ostern. 1/2 cup...

Tilted Glass: May 2010
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. The girls and I had a father-daughter weekend. This wasn't planned; we'd signed up for the. Flat, back country roads, little traffic, bicyclists everywhere, sunshine and cool breezes, puddles to blaze through and splash ourselves and each other. The girls chattered endlessly about nothing the music of their silly laughter carrying us down th...

Tilted Glass: February 2010
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 5, 2010. Igloo in the Road. I get this question a lot. In fact, I can almost bet it's the second or third question when someone finds out we're going to Burma, kids and all. It's not always exactly the same, but it invariably is accompanied by the raised eyebrow, the not-so-subtle body language that says "Really? Aren't you worried about the girls? Last weekend the girls and I played out in the snow for a couple of hours. MeiLin. Spent most of her time sitting in the igloo while MeiLin.

Tilted Glass: June 2011
http://tiltedglass.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 12, 2011. No, I don't drink coffee. I sort of like coffee now. Before my sister starts to do a dance in the barista area of her favorite independent coffee shop, I need to explain. I still don't drink coffee. I find the taste of coffee bitter. Or, I should say, I now find. The taste of coffee by itself bitter. This week, I have learned something new - coffee WITH quality chocolate wrapped in something else (like a coffeecake, perhaps) doesn't taste bitter. In fact, it tastes amazing. That's ...
