Trump, Politics, and Parenthood — Biff and I
http://www.biffandi.com/blog/2016/8/15/trump-politics-and-parenthood
Trump, Politics, and Parenthood. The other day I was driving my kids to a play date and the topic of Donald Trump came up on the podcast I was listening to. One of my kids said, We hate Donald Trunk. (That’s how she says it.) Right, Dad? My other kid quickly chimed in, Yeah, he’s disgusting. Eww. In that moment I knew I had failed to teach my kids the full and true meaning of compassion. We tell our kids about Donald Trump? How do we explain what he’s said about immigration? In listening to my children’s...

On Sex and Parenthood — Biff and I
http://www.biffandi.com/blog/2016/5/26/staying-sexy-as-a-parent
On Sex and Parenthood. I also loved what it meant to move about the world feeling sexy. Being more connected to the most basic parts of myself kept me feeling alive. It took me a while to figure out that so much of this struggle was tied up in a lot of things about identity and what parenthood does to one's identity. I found that I just couldn't be sexy in the ways that I used to be. My life was totally different and the things I did before just didn't make sense now. The next thing I did was work to fig...

Please, Take Your Kids to Pride — Biff and I
http://www.biffandi.com/blog/2016/6/28/please-take-your-kids-to-pride
Please, Take Your Kids to Pride. And did you know that it is still legal to fire someone for being queer in most places in the US? The transgender community has extremely high rates of unemployment and suicide. Make no mistake, we have made progress. But not being harassed/beaten/killed. Before is a lot different than it not happening at all. We are a community still in struggle. Have an agenda (at least I do). Only we're not trying to turn your kids into perverts. we're trying to turn them into ...

About — Food With Melinda
http://www.foodwithmelinda.com/about
My foray into the world of food exploration came in 1994 when I embarked on a 5-year journey in vegetarianism. I began trying to recreate the things I tasted in restaurants and found that cooking intuitively - with whatever was on hand - brought me great joy . Over the next decade, I honed my culinary skills in the restaurant business, while taking on small catering jobs on the side. I eventually transitioned from. Line cook to chef. Chef Melinda is a Certified Natural Foods Chef. Nuts and Bolts Brooklyn.

RECIPE! Hibiscus Rosemary Pink Lemonade — Food With Melinda
http://www.foodwithmelinda.com/news/2015/6/9/recipe-hibiscus-rosemary-pink-lemonde
Hibiscus Rosemary Pink Lemonade. June 11, 2015. Also, a sugary beverage wasn’t something we were allowed with any regularity. But, that’s okay. There was always watermelon. And ice cream. I’m not sure about the logic there but, nonetheless, we were happy to have the lemonade and we didn’t ask any questions! We sold our lemonade in styrofoam cups to nice midwestern people who apparently couldn’t resist the sales-savvy of a couple of tow-headed kids. And we never got a single complaint. :). Try putting som...
