TToT – Letting Go

I’ve been missing from blogland a little lately. I can’t say it was anything intentional – more of a development as the last couple of weeks unfolded. It’s been a bit of a bumpy road lately and I really thought about bagging the TToT this weekend just to take a breath. But I’ve said all along that…

TToT – Light from Darkness

As I was putting together my list of Thankfuls for the week, I realized that there was something of a theme at work.

TToT – Sick Tea and Chicken Soup Edition

The flu is running rampant in our state. At least that’s what the news keeps telling me. I wasn’t sure it was true, but then it decided to rear its ugly little head in our house. At work on Monday, I was certain I was coming down with something – by the time I got home,…

Ten Things of Thankful – Thawing Out and Going Basic

No muse befriends, this week, really, friends – haven’t found much to post here. Maybe I’ve just been focusing my brain power on other projects this week. Anyway, better late than never, here is my list of thankfuls for the week. I am… Thankful that – for the moment at least – it is not snowing. Or…

German Fest in My Fridge

Ever have leftover CSA vegetables you didn’t know what to do with? In January? Yeah, this surprised me as well. But sure enough, just after New Year’s, I found myself staring at some leftover kohlrabi, turnip, and carrot and half of a huge head of purple cabbage. They were perfectly fine – wrap and package…
