The Moody Kitchen: Black Cherry and Thyme Jelly from the Red Dimension
http://moodykitchen.blogspot.com/2009/04/black-cherry-and-thyme-jelly-from-red.html
April 29, 2009. Black Cherry and Thyme Jelly from the Red Dimension. I heard a knock at the door. No, not a knock- more like the rasp of a brush against a snare drum. It was the sound of 10 cats licking the 10 toes of an infant. Of 10 baby bats sucking obsessively at a peach. Yes, this sound was more tongue than fist. A hiss. A feather tickling your wrist. Eyelashes against a pillow. Tails in shallow waters. I heard reptilian roars and insectual. Or catapulting squirrel teeth. My hair sprayed outward...

The Moody Kitchen: Strawberry Chamomile Quick Bread
http://moodykitchen.blogspot.com/2009/04/strawberry.html
June 30, 2009. Strawberry Chamomile Quick Bread. And as I looked a quickening gust. Of wind blew up to me and thrust. Into my face a miracle. Of orchard-breath, and with the smell,-. I know not how such things can be! I breathed my soul back into me. From "Renascence" by Edna St. Vincent Millay. As some of you know, I am a sucker for floral and herbal infusion. Adding a base of lavender or a hue of thyme to a regular bread, jelly, or creme brulee. Are any of your flowers edible? However, some of these pl...

January 13, 2009. Burger, Burger, glowin' bitchin'. On the counters of my kitchen,. If you give me one last taste. I'll glow green in outer space. Glowing green" is good I hope,. But if it's not I'm sure I'll cope. I'm glad I got this off my chest;. Please consider my pale request,. You add as many green-and-glowing vegetables and legumes to the mix as you possibly can, that's how. The superfood miracle I designed in my kitchen last night was so green, in fact, that it. This is why I decided to experimen...

The Moody Kitchen: April 2010
http://moodykitchen.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
April 11, 2010. Blueberry Lime Sorbet and a Love Letter. You, my darling, are the wild side of nobility, the King's second son- the edgy one who smokes cigarettes under bridges because he's "got time, nothing but time." You are not the delicate blackberry prince whose life is always on the verge of ruin and rupture. You live hard into old age, remain intact. You and your flared crown, your deep blue ink that stains my fingers, your tight skin. I once saw your color in a near-night sky in Arizona. 3 Pour ...

Relationships | School, Life, and Other Things I Think About
https://mmorgenstern.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/relationships
School, Life, and Other Things I Think About. Digital Storytelling: Final Project. Anti-War Song by Schmu →. March 23, 2012. There is nothing like a little flu to get things to snap back into perspective. When I feel sick my joints ache for the people I love. I cry easily, less because I’m sad than because of the realization of richness. How fortuitous to find myself reading Walt Whitman in the doctor’s office, when usually I read People. And then I read David Brook’s op ed. Anti-War Song by Schmu →.

School, Life, and Other Things I Think About. Evaluation by the Numbers →. It’s not the Teachers! September 9, 2010. 8220;more than any other variable in education more than schools or curriculum teachers matter”. (“WhatMakes a Great Teacher”,The Atlantic, 2010). Teachers are in the news. We don’t work enough hours, we don’t provide effective instruction, we haven’t solved every problem in American society. It seems to make sense, doesn’t it? It is [simplistic to place] the total burden of providing effe...
