Being and Thyme: June 2007
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 June 2007. BBQ on my mind. Ah, England. Land of rainshowers that come out of nowhere, and random hailstorms. Land of thinking that summer has come, only to discover that you put away your coat to quickly when all of a sudden you are faced with three straight days of cold downpours. Sunshine is not anything to take for granted around here, so make the most of it when we can. It has been an ordeal, I tell you. Smoked mackerel dip (Graeme really needs to post the recipe for this, it's amazing).

Brittle Road: Dark Night of the Soul
http://brittleroad.blogspot.com/2010/06/dark-night-of-soul.html
Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Dark Night of the Soul. A friend told me I was going through a dark night of the soul. That's her explanation for the way I've been feeling lately. Dissatisfied, alone, wishing I could pin down what's on my mind that's making me feel morose and disconnected and acutely aware of the fact that I don't matter. She told me it's one of the toughest things I'll ever go through. That's a scary thought. June 2, 2010 at 5:42 PM. Im suspicious that I may just be mildly depressed and letting ...

Brittle Road: The Death of Creativity
http://brittleroad.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-death-of-creativity.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. The Death of Creativity. These last two, and now three, days my right ankle has been sufficiently angry at me to prevent me from talking my usual morning walks. Instead, I have tried to return to creative writing, posting little bits and pieces of stream-of-consciousness writing here. As I read what I have written, the fog in my brain begins to lift and reveal the desolate landscape it has been attempting to hide. Let's see, what other useless crap can I write about? I thought...

Brittle Road: Listening to the Emerging Morning
http://brittleroad.blogspot.com/2012/08/listening-to-emerging-morning.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Listening to the Emerging Morning. For the second morning in a row, I awoke late, though this morning I was up before 5:30. Yesterday, it was after 6:00 before I got out of bed. This is odd for me, in that I'm normally up before 4:45. While there is very little traffic, most of the cars I see seem to be operating urgently. They speed by as if their drivers are consumed with FOCUS on the destination.time's-a-wasting and I gotta get to my church service! Subscribe in a reader.

Brittle Road: Toying with the Internet
http://brittleroad.blogspot.com/2013/09/toying-with-internet.html
Monday, September 23, 2013. Toying with the Internet. It has been a year since I abandoned this blog in favor of a new one. I had aspirations, I did! My new blog would coincide with a new me. The mindless chatter of Brittle Road. Would be left behind, and good riddance! I would begin a new life, a life far more interesting that the life I led and shared on Brittle Road. The paragraphs above might suggest the reason for this post, don't you think? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader.

Meze is a belly's deep breath. Journeys in observing a meal: the ideal, always a gustatory symphony of the senses. Mama Conners's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.with Bacon! I dream of making these cookies for my baby/ies someday, too. And now, to the golden nugget, to be held with love and visited often in your ovens, on your kitchen tables, in the bellies of those you love and those you don't! 45 c sifted flour. 3 tsp baking soda. 3 c shortening (2 sticks unsalted butter). 15 c refined sugar.

Being and Thyme: October 2007
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 9 October 2007. Making food for the winter. Perhaps, but it's a worthwhile one, in my opinion. Of course, eating locally in Canada- especially in Quebec- can be extremely difficult. While the variety of vegetables available during the winter is rather limited in Britain (leek and potato soup, anyone? In any case, I was at the local market. Apple sauce is one of the easiest ways to preserve large quantities of apples, and if you store it correctly, it will keep for a long time. Links to this post.
