Yeah, it only took 6 months and I-don't-know-how-many trials, but I finally got 2 loaves of what I would call pumpernickel. AND they stayed moist and edible for several weeks in the fridge! I ended up using basically a recipe in "Naturally Great Foods", a Rodale Press cookbook I've had for over 20…
Happy Earth Day! What are some of your favorite ways to reduce, reuse and recycle? I've driven a Honda Civic Hybrid for the past 4 years (people are probably sick of hearing about it, but I love my little car) We compost vegetable scraps / leaves etc (have been doing this since I was a kid – it means…

Today was a gorgeous day, so I spent a few hours this afternoon cleaning out the asparagus bed to make room for this year's delicious stalks. First to go were the old-growth stalks, I think from two years, because I recall having to push them aside last spring to get at the new growth. One…

Monday we had a meeting with our largest client in Denver, a very small town (if it is one at all) in Amish country in eastern Pennsylvania (about 4.5 hours away). Strictly a business trip, but I still enjoyed myself… I drove directly from home, while Jim and Laura met to drive together (it's one…
Fountain by Nikki We finally finished setting up the lovely fountain Nikki made for me for Christmas! It just needed a little judicious grinding and shimming, and some moss to catch the little spills, but now it's making a beautiful babbling sound there in the front hallway… Read and post comments | Send to a…
Bah. Honda v guardrail You know it's bad when the guy at the body shop recognizes your voice over the phone… This is accident #6 for my poor little car (to whom I apologized after grazing the guardrail this morning on the snowy roads). 1. Deer (I've hit one with every car I've ever…
Where have the days gone?
