Tonight was one of those “cook what’s in the fridge” nights. Carrots were destined to be a main ingredient, and since it turned out pretty good, I thought I’d write down what Aidan and I did. Half an onion One clove of garlic 1/4 cup fresh cilantro 5 carrots (give or take) 1 cup orContinue reading “Carrot Loaf with Mushroom Gravy”

1946 Motorette
When I was a kid, we had a magic green scooter that stayed in this corner of our yard outside my parents’ bedroom window. It was a place of much imagination. My brother, sister, and I would climb on it with some of the neighbor kids, pretend to flash the lights, pretend to steer, pretendContinue reading “1946 Motorette”
Soup and Salad (in one bowl) Recipe
One of our favorite winter meals is homemade soup. It’s so easy that it’s hard to imagine buying soup in a can. This recipe is a variation on one soup we love, a white bean and pasta soup. Virtually any combination of vegetables will do. Broth isn’t really necessary with a bean soup, just saltContinue reading “Soup and Salad (in one bowl) Recipe”
Support Your Local Arts
As I prepared a selection of poems to submit to the Mississippi Arts Commission for a fellowship application, I was reminded just how important state and local arts organizations can be. I think of all the cultural experiences that would go without funding if local and state arts organizations (and the NEA) didn’t exist, andContinue reading “Support Your Local Arts”
Valentine Variation (Ginger Beets)
This evening for Valentine’s Day, I decided to reprise the Ginger Beets recipe with a few slight variations. Mainly, I added rutabaga, chard, cilantro, and broccoli. Most of this came from our local farmer — only the broccoli was from the store. Mushroom soy sauce helps the sauce, since it is so dark. And IContinue reading “Valentine Variation (Ginger Beets)”
Ginger Beets and Soba Noodles
Here’s a Valentine’s Day recipe to try, if you dare. I made it the other night for fun and out of desperation, not having gotten to the store yet for supplies–but Kim and Aidan had been to the Enlow’s (formerly organic) farm. (Mississippi changed it’s regulations on how to be organically certified, so our onlyContinue reading “Ginger Beets and Soba Noodles”
Insecure iTunes Credit
Though I hate to write this, I’ve lost a little faith in Apple, and with the world. Of course, a lot will depend on how they resolve this issue. Yesterday, Apple sent me an email telling me that a new device had downloaded an app to an iPad from a location that appeared in ChineseContinue reading “Insecure iTunes Credit”
Local Culture
This weekend, we took in a little of the local culture and had a lot of fun. Friday night, thanks to organizers Chris Hannon and Adele Eliot, there was an open mic night at Cafe Aromas in downtown Columbus MS. I took a few poems to read, and Aidan brought his fiddle. Since there weren’tContinue reading “Local Culture”
