If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty and joy, it will in the end not produce food, either.

Ahhh, well played!

Strange foggy mornings are my favorite!

Swiss?

Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be chance only because of our lack of knowledge.

Funny, I was just talking with one of the tenants in the rental I manage for family today. We (mostly me) were removing some old fence, and I referenced the CSN song Find the cost of Freedom, where it says “Mother Nature will swallow you “ dealing with all the roots and vines. Just a few years…

People really “have a problem with tea?!”

I like this, but I can’t help but wonder what the division is between imagination and intelligence. This from a very neurodivergent individual.

If, from time to time, you give up expectation, you will be able to perceive what it is you are getting.

Congratulations on your first quiche, may it be followed by many more!

Yes, the liminal space, the gloaming, that is the space in which important things happen.

Beautiful!

Well done!

Creamy white beans with caramelized red onion and honey cornbread fresh out of the oven. First time using this cornmeal, local heirloom organic from Rusted Rooster. Wicked good!

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Pretty sure I qualify as a full old ancestor…

Thank you! Good to know that farmers will still be…almanacing?

And yes…yes I have an issue with putting mushrooms on all my pizzas. If I don’t I end up thinking “this is good, buuuut”. Same situation when I roast coffee light on someone’s advice, I always regret it.

Sadly the Old Farmer’s Almanac is shutting down after this year! 🥲 especially sad for an old Mainer like me.

I have seen human foragers listing yew berries as a survival food. Sure, the fruit is safe, but just a few tiny seeds and you are in trouble. And sure there are drugs used that are derived from yew like taxol and paitaxel, but does not mean a home remedy should be made with it by the average human!

Curious what American cheese coffee is like and how it is made…

Good lord, that is a unit !

Happy pizza day! Impossible ground, mushrooms, garlic and caramelized red onion. Wicked good.

Zardoz!!

The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is: a miracle and unrepeatable.

This is what important stuff, and really needs to be normalized.

Pasta all carrettiera again, this time with fresh cayenne pepper. Perfect lunch on a chilly afternoon.
