Focus on Simple Pleasures
Going to the supermarket without a specific plan is a dangerous game. Things like this happen… “First of the Season!” That’s what the sign said. Who could resist? It was impossible. Reading parts of Thoreau’s Walden today (a longtime favorite), I got to thinking that he really got it right – simplicity is the way…

Produce Obsession
This is what our kitchen counter looked like on Sunday afternoon… Aside from the plastic storage bags, it was a really lovely sight.

Making Good on Some Promises
Sometimes life gets away from me. It’s kind of like an unruly dog. He snaps the leash and takes off running. I chase after him, the world a blur as it whizzes by… A few weeks ago, I did a post that included quite a bit of food. In that post, I mentioned that I…
