 So, on Saturday I was putting on black fingernail polish just because I felt like it, when I realized that the next day would be Sunday. Brilliant deduction, I know. This meant that I would either have to remove said black fingernail polish after wearing it for a few hours, which seemed rather silly, or [...]

This morning I made pankcakes for breakfast. I used farm fresh eggs, whole milke kefir and whole wheat flour I had ground about two minutes before I mixed the batter up. Oh, and baking powder. Mmmmmm, they were tasty.

One of my favorite smells is the smell of someone doing laundry. Very specifically it is that whiff of warm fabric softener mixed with dryer exhaust that you catch as you walk past a house. I love that smell.

Our electric wheat grinder just came today! I am very excited. We’ve been wanting to start grinding our own wheat to get rid of that bitter aftertaste one finds in commercial wheat flour and because bread made from fresh ground flour is ninety-percent protein.

 Yesterday we had dinner with the Ben-Ezras, pursuant to our normal Resurrection Sunday tradition. As always we had good food and a lot of fun just hanging out together. We even got to have the Peiffers hanging out with us for part of the afternoon, which was really nice.
 But this year, as we walked out [...]

Yes, I know this sounds boring, but it’s not really so much about my dress as it is a saga of Adiel and my complete lack of thank you note sending. It really started when she sent for me with a traveling relative a book of haiku she’d found at a library sale. (Can a [...]

 Ahem! I have a very important announcement to make. Perhaps more momentous than important… Or is it just of possible vague interest?
 Regardless, here it is. I am Person with a Laptop (laptop still in transit). I ordered it last week because I finally decided it was worth the money to have the freedom on working [...]

Yesterday I picked up a bar of soap and noticed that one corner looked like it had been broken off. I didn’t think much of it until I turned the bar over and saw teeth marks. Judging from the size of the teeth marks and the idiocy of the action I’m pretty sure I know [...]
