Dear readers, I know, it’s been awhile. Last month I used up all of my words writing this article for the Real Estate Magazine, which defies its name to feature local human interest stories. I was excited to be invited to write the cover story for last month’s issue and it’s created a real buzzContinue reading “Eat Mendocino in the Real Estate Magazine”

morning of our Farm to Table Dinner
This evening we’re feeding dinner to the community. We hope you’re coming! Today will be a lot of rushing around, coordinating harvesting, picking flowers, laying out the jewelry I’ve been making, and watching our beloved chef Matt glide around unconcernedly deciding what he’s going to make out of the mountain of local food we’re assembling.Continue reading “morning of our Farm to Table Dinner”
April
I’m sitting in my kitchen on Easter Sunday, watching steam uncurling from under the lid of a massive stock pot. Tomorrow it’ll be lunch for the Americorps team that will be spending the next two months at the farm. I’m about to be swept into the whirlwind of Earth Day, endless planting, goat birth, milking,Continue reading “April”

Orange marmalade in the face of adversity
Its been a busy week guys. Between emergency turkey roasting, filming with Parents and Friend’s and Art Explorers in the garden, Americorp work days, and newborn Nubians, (I promise pictures and blogging will happen when I’m more alive) it’s been a lot of work out in the cold. My household is sick. It’s been goingContinue reading “Orange marmalade in the face of adversity”
Thanksgiving in February, Part 2
I’m still in Turkey-coma. There are gallons of soup to be made, meat to slice and freeze, (we only carved one side of the bird and still fed six people and loaded Sarah up with meat to take to Ukiah!) and a fleet of glass tupperware full of side dishes and drippings in the fridge.Continue reading “Thanksgiving in February, Part 2”
Thanksgiving in February
I spent a lot of today wrestling a very large bird with the help of my gallant chef friend Matt. As I write I’m watching it’s epic, rounded back browning in my oven like a very suntanned whale, barely contained in its baking dish. Soon I have to get up and steam some broccoli andContinue reading “Thanksgiving in February”
The Magic of Milk
I don’t think I have opened the fridge and poured myself a glass of milk since I lived in my parents’ house. And even then, I do not remember this as a familiar action. I never loved the taste of store-bought milk, nor craved it. I found it thin & tasteless and didn’t believe itContinue reading “The Magic of Milk”
Gratitude
Today I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. Partially because I’m just coming out of a couple weeks where this project was, well, hard. My roommates were moving out, and The Kid and I were transitioning to having this old sweet house to ourselves. An exciting time, but hard to be cooking three meals a day, working 7Continue reading “Gratitude”
Logistics in Paradise
We’re a few days away from the end of month one, and I’m feeling so ready to do this for another eleven months! Especially as things are just now beginning to warm up, and start to look like the cold and dark isn’t going to last forever. I have a greenhouse full of tiny translucentContinue reading “Logistics in Paradise”
