I’m afraid of failing at bread. It’s the yeast, and the kneading, and the rising, and the proofing, and god only knows all what else. It’s a lot.

Confronting Ultra-Processed Foods: My Journey
No wonder everyone is fat. No wonder everyone is sick. Our food is nothing but chemicals, shaped like food. And it’s screwing with our microbiomes and our gene expressions, and our mental health, and the freaking climate.
The Season Of Sugar Is Upon Us
I love buttered noodles. And pie (especially pumpkin and especially for breakfast). And oatmeal raisin cookies. And root beer floats. And warm focaccia dipped in crushed garlic and olive oil.
34 Pounds of Flour and Waffles
Yesterday we cleaned out the freezers. The one attached to the fridge, and the chest freezer in the basement. In the process I discovered I had 34 pounds of flour. And I rarely bake. What am I doing with all this flour? Oat flour, quinoa flour, Pillsbury Unbleached while, Bob's gluten-free baking flour, Superfine rice … Continue reading 34 Pounds of Flour and Waffles
Food Update
It’s been 10 days since I’ve had coffee, sugar, alcohol, eggs or wheat and I am feeling really good. I feel calmer, more relaxed, still a little on the tired side, but I think that is more a function of the weather (cold, cloudy, spring-resistant) than my diet. I had a great talk with Jennifer … Continue reading Food Update

It was a pretty complicated recipe for a meatloaf. But I delayed making the meatloaf because my life … Continue reading The Mindful Meatloaf
Gadgets and Gizmos and Chicken Soup
I've been reading Bringing Home the Dharma in the mornings. It's my new ritual, this reading in the morning. I have broken my Ultimate Yogi streak and am now contemplating starting all over again and trying to make it to 108 Days. I have a hard time when my streaks end. There's a lot of … Continue reading Gadgets and Gizmos and Chicken Soup
Food Sins
Last night I came home from my wild and crazy Fall Flow class, starving. On the counter stood a warm rotisserie chicken and a bottle of wine at the perfect temperature. Oh god, it was the sight of heaven. I fixed a plate, poured some wine and settled into the couch for a DVRed episode … Continue reading Food Sins
On My Plate
Because the weather was kind of meh, we jumped into the car and headed for Wegmans by way of Target, Panera, TJMaxx and Bon Ton. I saw a woman in a turquoise polyester pantsuit. I had a tall soy latte. I said "Hi" to one of my yoga students in Target. I had black bean … Continue reading On My Plate
