Lazy Gardening
| April 27, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Gardening |
I’ve always liked the idea of gardening. Thinking about the actual practice has left me a little less enthusiastic, though. I loved what Joshua did with gardening last year, and I definitely enjoyed the bounty, but doing it myself has always intimidated me. Some kinds of information sit well in my brain. When I decided I wanted to get pigs, I soaked up all the available information about pigs. I read books and websites and… Keep Reading
Salad Bar Meals
| May 20, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Kitchen |
Of all the meals in the world, I feel the most decadent and joyful when I’m eating from a plate of juicy fruits and veggies and little bits of meat and cheese. It feels like a tiny little Roman orgy on a plate, as if there should be someone nearby fanning me with a palm leaf. Keep Reading
Spring at The Wallow 2010
| April 15, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Nature |
It’s Spring here in Tennessee, which means things have been busy here at The Wallow. Joshua bought me an awesome hammock, which I love to nap away the afternoon in. I haven’t felt much like posting, but that doesn’t mean stuff isn’t happening. I’m just less likely to want to sit down and get something down on the computer. The last few days I’ve been itching to post and trying to think of what I want to communicate with the world. All I’ve come up with is, “I love Spring!” Not very deep or original, I know, but that’s all that’s really on my mind. Here are the things I’m looking at these days: Keep Reading
Rewind – Please Get Cancer So The Economy Will Improve
| March 11, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Think About It |
But what is this economy thing? Often, it’s talked about in terms of GNP, which is the total dollar value of final goods and services. We’re told this number is supposed to be big. In grade school, I remember hearing about the GNP of different nations. Ours was great. For other countries, we laughed at their little numbers.
In what way does this system measure the health of a nation? Since GNP only looks at things that have a monetary value, it seems possible that it risks measuring the non-health of a nation. The truth is that many of the things that indicate a quality of life, a richness and fullness of life, and a reflection of basic values simply cannot be measured by money. On the other hand, illness – both mental, physical, and spiritual – can be measured financially. Keep Reading
Pickle Making in a Comic
| October 5, 2009 | Posted by Issa under Kitchen |
Next summer when we have cucumbers emerging from our garden, I hope to make pickles! I simply love pickles and can’t wait to get into creating them myself. Here’s a comic from cartoonist Lucy Knisley that is a fun, inspiring instructional on pickle-making. Keep Reading
Gardening Options
| September 30, 2009 | Posted by Issa under Gardening |
I’ve been working on planning my garden for next year. Now that we’ve closed on the Knoxville house, I expect to have lots more room to do up a garden proper. Or get in way over my head. Either way, I’ll be smiling.
Like any good geek, I started with a spreadsheet. Keep Reading
