  • Say It Like Pepper

    Whenever we misunderstand tone in our family, we say to each other, “Say it like Pepper”. It means, “reframe my tone and imagine it differently”. So how many times does this apply to other experiences in a family? We are tied together for eternity, but we register and process love, forgiveness, joy, and loss so…

  • Wisdom Comes Suddenly, “The Summers” Edition

    About a thousand summers ago (or 9, if you are math-y), I quit my job. It was late May, and the warm, wet Indiana summer stretching before us seemed endless, just full of possibility.

  • International Lettuce Wraps

    International Lettuce Wraps I don’t know where I found this recipe because I scribbled it on a post-it. Then I changed it.

I guess I could call it American-Indian-Asian-Mexican Fusion, but…

  • 30 Years A Pirate

    [James Jean, but for the life of me I cannot recall nor locate the name of this piece. It’s one of my top-5 favorite pieces of art, but oddly, I find most of his work disturbing (personal opinion only).] When my ophthalmic artery stroked to darkness in the Fall of 1986, my vision became a…

  • Winter Recipes

    While I haven’t been posting what I’m cooking, I HAVE BEEN COOKING. Per my usual, I struggle to repeat recipes more than a few times (if that). It makes me sad, because sometimes I’ll run across something I made long ago, and think, “That was delicious! Why didn’t that enter the rotation?” Answer: Because there…
