3 Birds: August 2010
http://threebirdsathome.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. My friend Sara said recently that part of eating locally and seasonally is that we have to get sick of some things before their season is over and there’s no way around that. She is a farmer and a vegetarian, and I imagine this is especially true for her but it ought to be true for all of us. Squash Frittata with Sage and Lemon. 2 medium summer squash. 1 medium onion, diced. 2T each butter and olive oil. 1-3T chopped fresh sage. Finely grated zest of 1-2 lemons. Julienne the squ...

Vintage suburbia: September 2012
http://vintagesuburbia.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
A mother of two surviving the dullness of suburbia through style, glamour and her love of all things vintage. 28 September, 2012. Rockabilly Bernie Dexter style in Spain. In preparation for my trip to Spain recently, I put together some great outfits built on a nautical/red and white rockabilly theme. Sticking to one colour palette when you pack for holidays means you can use the same accessories and have more outfits to wear - yay! Blouse and high waisted capri pants: Bernie Dexter. Old and new boutique.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Front yard in May, Front yard in June. Originally uploaded by 3Birds. I've been remiss in blogging, but very busy in real life. Since I last blogged, I've done a lot of baking and gardening, been reviewed by the Baltimore City Public School System (more about that in future entries), resumed several knitting projects, rekindled my own and my children's interest in microscopy and entomology, and buried my beloved cat (more about that next update.). Links to this post. I'm an urba...

3 Birds: December 2008
http://threebirdsathome.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. Originally uploaded by 3Birds. A lot of the projects I conceive of never make it out of the speculative stage because I forget about them before I begin. I have a queue. Of knitting projects on Ravelry. But the folks who designed that fabulous knitting community prefer to keep the focus on knitting, crochet, and spinning. Short of designing a sewing/embroidery/baking/candy-making/papercrafting/weaving/bookmaking/etc knock-off (which, noway, nohow! 2 A project I started last yea...

3 Birds: December 2009
http://threebirdsathome.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 01, 2009. Green and amber and gold it grows. Barley and Wild Rice Pilaf. Olive oil, and lots of it! 1 small to medium onion, chopped. 2 stalks of celery, chopped. 4-6 carrots, chopped. 2 turnips, chopped. 1 cup hulled barley (pearled can be used, but it cooks faster, so add it after the rice has cooked 20 minutes or so.). 1/4-1/2 cup wild rice. 1 qt vegetable stock. 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley.

Monday, January 05, 2009. Originally uploaded by 3Birds. My youngest got his first library card today. My plan was to wait for a special day and make a Very Big Deal out of it, but today when we were gathering our books and cards he said "Me want my own card" so I told him we'd get him one that very day. And we did. The Enoch Pratt Free Library. Restricts new borrowers to just 2 books for their first check-out, and Finch chose Tana Hoban's Is It Larger? By 'incredibly old' I mean Methusalan! This is knit...

Folks rushed by with newspapers over their heads; one man walked sedately along until lightening crackled alarmingly close-by. "Holy Fuck!

3 Birds: April 2008
http://threebirdsathome.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2008. Ahoy there, crew members! Do any of you Baltimore folks remember Captain Chesapeake? Anyway, I've been neglecting my blog because I've been frightfully busy, but since part of being 'busy' included frolicking at Rehoboth Beach a couple of weeks ago, I've got lots to blog about. Now that I've caught up on the housekeeping, I'll be posting more regularly for a bit, until I get behindhand and overwhelmed again! So, I offer you, an ffo (failed finished object):.
