Reflections on my memoir, Security Bound–a work in revision. Newer posts →. Message in a Bottle. May 11, 2013. What is my story about? What is the story’s essential message? How do I express story and meaning as briefly as possible? Composing a compelling synopsis or jacket blurb can be a real challenge, and it isn’t easy. To provide an enticing, synoptic description of my story, I must condense it to several short sentences that also convey its meaning, its message. Recently, I attended a workshop focus...

Reflections on my memoir, Security Bound–a work in revision. Will the Real Me Please Stand Up? Ego and the Power of Choice. June 27, 2013. We sometimes hear advice such as “let your conscience be your guide.” This precept appeals to our moral sense of right and wrong, and we are wise to adhere to it. Where does conscience come from? You got what you wanted, so it’s okay to do it again.” This is what I call the “false-self ego.”. 8211;excerpt from “Fitting In,”. Ego as false self. Over time, it has become...

My Abundant Kitchen: February 2012
http://myabundantkitchen.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Life in the food lane. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Pretty Little Brownie Bites, the Lazy-Chef Way. I needed a dessert- and fast! Since it is February and since I love chocolate and raspberries together, I decided to go with a Valentine's Day theme. Feeling very lazy, though, I bought a package of brownie bites at the grocery store. Luckily, the raspberries happened to be beautiful, so I grabbed a package. You could use strawberries, if they look better. This will frost about 30 brownie bites).

http://myabundantkitchen.blogspot.com/2013/03/oh-those-naughty-leprechauns.html
Life in the food lane. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Oh those naughty leprechauns! My kiddos are now 18 and 16. Last year, I was thinking the leprechaun pranks finally might be too childish, when my oldest asked nonchalantly, "So, are the leprechauns coming again this year? And, so, they did. I happened upon some great leprechaun tricks on pinterest and have included them in this post. Such clever people out there! Good luck and happy leprechaun hunting! Coolest Family on the Block.

Life in the food lane. Thursday, November 3, 2011. Greetings from a Friend and Chicken Mole. Day of the Dead at Mexico City cemetery. I was going to skip the whole Dia de los Muertos thing this year. Life has been so busy and I ran out of time. But then, last evening, I received a greeting and a nudge from a friend who passed two years ago. You know Dia de los Muertos, right? Day of the Dead? It is an ancient tradition, predating Columbus, observed all across Latin America. But, often, Mexican women thes...

My Abundant Kitchen: April 2013
http://myabundantkitchen.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Life in the food lane. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Beet and Goat Cheese Salad. But, as a grown-up, I discovered roasted beets- a whole different thing. Roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper, they retain their jeweled colors and the flavor is unbelievable! Next to my mom's pickled beets, these are the best. Here's how I do it:. 3 large or 4 medium or small red beets. 3 large or 4 medium or small golden beets. 3/4 cup walnut pieces. 1/3 cup red wine vinegar. 2/3 cup good olive oil (first cold pressed).

Life in the food lane. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Cochinita Pibil/Yucatecan Roasted Pork. 65279; . Photo from locogringo.com. Well, I shouldn't be because we have had a very mild winter so far. We just got a bit of snow yesterday, which we all are celebrating because our weather has been so dry. Nearly 30 years ago, at about this time of year, I was desperate to get away from the cold and the brown of winter. I went to a travel agent (this was a long time ago! And said, "I need to go somewhere warm.".
