Anna and Kristina's Grocery Bag
i have a confession to make.....i LOVE cookbooks! not the ones from the local church ladies...although i do have some of those. no....i HAVE to buy the ones authored by chefs from famous restaurants or something quirky i've seen on a food blog.
i've got so many....The Pleasures of Cooking For One by Judith Jones...Cooking With Shelburne Farms by Melissa Pasanen...Eggs by Michael Roux...Jamie Olivers...Jacque Pepins....Marthas... well....you get the picture.
i'm a weekend cook...not so much thru the week. cooking makes me happy....i "sing" while i cook (i use that term very loosely!) but...another big secret....i have more failures than successes with my cooking attempts. so when i happened upon a show on the OWN channel about two "wanna be" chefs who try out recipes from some of the top cookbooks and then serve their meal to a real chef i felt right at home. their attempts mirror a lot of mine and i laugh my way thru the shows.
Anna and Kristina....i think we may have all fallen off the same turnip truck......

to ride upon the wind...
for i would ride with you upon the wind...
run on the top of the disheveled tide...
and dance upon the mountains like a flame..."

a mystic circle
“there is a magic in that little world…
home…
it is a mystic circle
that surrounds comforts and virtues
never known beyond
its hallowed limits…”

speaking of magic....i can make things disappear...
especially if it's got a lot of butter and sugar in it...

waiting for signs.......
"i used to wait for a sign...she said
before i did anything.
then one night i had a dream
and an angel in striped tights
came to me and said
you can start any time now...
then i asked 'is this a sign'...
the angel started laughing
and i woke up.
now i think the whole world
is filled with signs...
but if there's no laughter...
i know they're not
for me...."

a thief named senescence.....
who are you...
always trying to glimpse into
my world
from your throne
in the mirror
you watch me
with my own eyes....
voyeur
what have you done
with
me
where am
i
do i live beneath the sagging skin
the grey hair
i must be in there
somewhere
or have you
stolen
my
eyes
who
are
you

fairy fireworks
don't you think dill looks like fairy fireworks.....
you can almost hear a minuscule... soaring... whistle...
you can almost hear a minuscule... soaring... whistle...
a soft pop.....
as a shower of buttery sparks
rains down on the wee folk...
the tinkle of a tiny...collective... cheer
floating softly through this
sultry
summer
evening....
