Vitamin D: A Success Story

June 10th, 2010 at 4:22 am » Comments (0)

I have always been an outdoorsy type. My husband jokes that I am a lizard, because I am happiest basking out in the full sun.  The bay area is never warm enough for me  since I was meant for temperatures that were 80 degrees and over.  Some of the longest bike rides that I have [...]



Humpty Dumpty

April 16th, 2010 at 8:50 am » Comments (0)

I wasn’t actually sitting on the wall.  Honestly, I was trying to stand up there. On one foot. Okay, I was also jumping up and down in circles. It didn’t really work, so I did fall and the pieces were messy, messy pieces that looked and felt a lot like swine flu.
The magic tripod [...]



2009: The Skin Odyssey

September 2nd, 2009 at 3:31 pm » Comments (0)

The story actually begins February 22, 2006, but I really didn’t want to ruin such a great title by being picky.  It begins with the day I received a GPS for my birthday and became a geocacher. As a geocacher, I became obsessed with the idea of leaving no cache unfound.  I couldn’t consider passing [...]



Reclaiming Ourselves

July 20th, 2009 at 8:34 am » Comments (0)

At the end of May, I put out a call to my friends asking about cheap vacation rentals. M-, who we had met through our agencies trainings hooked us up with two people that were willing to loan us their vacation houses(!). So last week, we spent up in Groveland with the dogs on retreat. [...]



Let’s Grub!

I didn’t think that this match could get any better. But, this weekend we realized that we were matched with foodies! Well, maybe pre-foodies. Not only do T-6 and T-4 think about food all the time and maintain an eating schedule that is above and beyond any kid that I know, but they [...]

Punk Cookery, The Punk Rocker’s Cafe Cookbook, Vegetarian Specialties by Ian Finn

My review

rating: 5 of 5 starsI certainly haven’t tried every recipe in this book, but I have tried enough to know that it is spot on for what it is offering, which is a variety of grubbing, basic vegetarian [...]



The Buick ate My Planet (and My Food Supply)

May 12th, 2008 at 10:14 pm » Comments (2)

Back in the day, A- had a zine called the Buick ate my Planet.  I don’t remember how many issues came out, but I do remember that it included suggestions of car-free trips and resources and told stories of living car-free in the bay area.  Anyways, I only bring it up to steal the great [...]



Happiness

My friend A- is always doing studies. If she is considering making any kind of change in her life, she researches it from every angle. She reads about it, she interviews her friends or acquaintances about it. I love seeing her go through this process and getting asked questions that make me think deeply [...]



Manpuku-yum!

February 10th, 2008 at 11:00 pm » Comments (0)

J- and I recently found this place, Manpuku. It is a good thing because we have also been finding a budget.  We used to love to go to Kirala, often on J-’s brother’s treat.  It really wasn’t sustainable to rely on Kirala for our sushi desires.  Manpuku is certainly not the highest quality sushi around, [...]



Anarchy Cake

Our friend A- just had a birthday. Actually, I had only met A- once and he was at the opposite end of the table, so we hardly talked. But, there was an immediate connection and when I got invited to his suprised party, I was excited to make his cake. It turned out [...]
