Crazy Day at the Rink

2009-01-19T06:38:00.002-07:00

Saturday is lessons from 9 - 3 / we had a winter storm yesterday / snow / icy rain / sleet / = slush in all it degrees of slushness ~ frozen hard stiff crunchy slidey slurpy / so ~

Someone in the higher echelon of rink management cancelled classes / told no one until staff turned up for work / o no / but we'll stay anyway we say and Skate for ourselves / oh yes / and if anyone shows up for lessons they can skate too

it's a Free Skate !

most everyone wanted to skate / yes / parents too ? / oh yes / oh yes

So we had a lot of fun / an unexpected treat / all the most eager enthusiastic students of all levels from Pre Alpha Plus (never been on skates before ) to Free Style #3 level

Little kids / Big ones too / coming for their first lesson / and we just turned 'em loose

Usually the 1st lesson takes up Fitting Your Boots / Falling Down and Getting Up so we did a lot of that -

So much more relaxed ! The first day of lessons is usually so tense

Oh and At Last

I am able to execute a rudimentary (slow!) hockey stop

lets see if this thing still works . . . . ?

loop de loop : potholder binge

2008-04-20T16:07:00.002-06:00

now they tell me, exclaims MrsFoley as she fingers the LOOP TIPS advice that came in the latest bag of loops

If the loop is too thick skip a peg / if the loop is too skinny put two skinny ones together

okay

MrsFoley's tip : when they dont stretch enough to go from one peg to the opposite or are misshapen or thready chain them / roll the chain into balls / weave them into rag rugs

(see MrsFoley learned to make potholders with a little red loom and colourful loops when she was 7-8 yrs old / every few years she honors her inner child with a potholder binge / marvels at what kind of a child she had been to have the patience in this !

it was darn tricky to make those pot holders (i just noticed spellcheck thinks potholders should be two words)

perseverance furthers

do you forget how to swim ?

2007-09-26T14:59:00.000-06:00

~~~~~~~~~~

we dont remember when we swam last

it will come in the the night / smile

when we lived in Vermont our mother came to visit / it was summertime / we decided to swim in paul and phoebe's pond

our mother put on an esther williams two piece number that we had on hand / it was white rubberized satin and the bra part had straps positioned to to fit around the neck forming a sweetheart neckline / the bottom part had a "chastity panel" but mom put the bottom on backwards so the skirt was across her bum

she spashed into the water like a girl / just like when we went to the beach when we were growing up / she loved to splash her arms and laugh at the water / she moved out further into the pretty pond splashing and laughing and soon she realized she was in over her head / she squealed in fear yet spun in the water and splashed all the way back to the grassy edge

gee whiz / we thought she could swim !

she said she could !

doesnt gin and mineral water make you smart ?

doesnt gin and mineral water have electrolytes ?

ah ha / i feel brainier already

i have an album of 20 cassettes of 60 old radio programs !

this is from the library / the best small town library in America

i love radio ! different from audio books bc they are dramatized and
they have the most wonderful Sound Effects !

plus the commercials / just now i listened to an episode of Let's
Pretend (saturday mornings when i was growing up) sponsored by Cream
of Wheat (so good to eat that we eat it everyday)

Cream of Wheat was on my iron rich diet

Summertime Never Ending Soup Iron Rich

2007-07-09T16:27:00.000-06:00

extra nutritious for those triple digit temperatures and No Rain in Sight for a Long Time

no fat except for whatever amount of butter you use / no sugar either / plenty fiber and vitamins and minerals*

1 quart meat bone stock (rather a jellied broth)
celery onion and finocchio and garlic roughly chopped in the food processor
saute in butter/olive oil until lightly carmelized

add the broth and simmer until incorporated / the vegetables need not be completely cooked through

slice and cook in a little butter a blue plastic box of white mushrooms / when some of these are browning put them in the broth / keep out some whole slices for chewing interest if you wish

after a bit of cooking and cooling blend the soup until creamy / then add the slices of mushrooms reserved / season as you like / salt and pepper / any fresh herbs / maybe a splurp of cream just before serving

okay that was day one

day two :

we are lightly steaming the baby/toddler spinach thinnings / just nip the roots and leave the tender stems / put in blender with some half and half or milk or even broth / whir it up and add to the mushroom soup base

save some soup for day 3 :

add fresh corn kernels just off a barely cooked cob

(not sure about the compatibility of mushrooms and corn ? see how they grow ? corn in stretched out acres in blazing sun / mushrooms in dimdarkshadydampplaces / they both like to grow and live with others just like them)

okay time for some electrolyte water

*weight watchers No points for the vegetables and No points for the broth / points for whatever butter and cream you use

ps for even more iron richness put a couple of tablespoons Amaranth grains / they have to cook for 20 minutes

macaroni morbidi

2007-07-07T15:46:00.000-06:00

this is how we feel today
like overcooked noodles

limp

without zip zap vim or vigor

on the other hand we made pesto genovese

we made the chunky version

we had some with crisp toasted focaccia

and the first BIG ripe tomato from the garden

it is the first of the Pruden's Purple / she is big as a Big Beef which we also have / Miss P Purple is a lovely coral colour with faint golden streaks

she is purple in the same way that a purple finch is purple

meaning not really "purple" / more of a coral colour

yes yes, we have seen such a thing with our very own eyes

baked pancake craze Act 2

2007-07-06T18:10:00.000-06:00

butter lavishly mini muffin pans / preheat oven to 400 degrees

heat the muffin pan while you make the batter

2 eggs / pinch of salt or other seasonings if you wish / 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk / mix lightly / it can be lumpy

now also have ready some kind of filling / at the moment i am wanting finely chopped raw vegetables like zucchini and red pepper and corn kernels fresh off the cob and some sweet onion and a green herb or two / maybe some basil and some chives

so when the oven is hot and the muffin tin is hot and the butter in it is sizzling put some of the batter in each one and then add a spoon ful of the filling

an alternate plan is to bake the batter first / it will puff up / put the filling in after it is baked and puffed up into a cup like item

let/s see mini muffin pans should take maybe 12 minutes ?

OR

the small crockery pie pans cd be used for a larger serving

heading to the kitchen now / will check back soon

blog revival

2007-07-01T14:39:00.000-06:00

one day i thought, hmmm, a blog spot is a new spot to write on / like a new notebook that you didnt already have one of

or

like a yellow legal pad / a Big Chief tablet / a composition book with wide lines / a composition book with narrow lines / a surveyors book with quadrangles / a thick block of newsprint / a kids’ tablet for learning how to write

a different canvas / a different kind of paper / calling for a different intstrument / instead of a pen or a pencil or a crayon or a pastel or a brush / a whole new venue for a Scribble Series

with keyboard and mouse

the blog wanders / wonders

links will not work / pictures will not appear / there will be no about me profile / no comments / no clamoring for hordes of readers

to share the address is like having stuff laid out on my work table at happy trail where visitors came and went / looked to see what i was working on / work in process / work in progress

there is no there there / it just is it / smile

update on the baked pancake

2007-05-21T08:39:00.000-06:00

8888888888

yes, you can use whole wheat flour in place of unbleached white

whole wheat flour often requires a little most liquid so caterina used a really BIG EGG

this was successful / she folded the pancake when cooked over butter limped vidalia onions and some Mexican fresca cheese and some tomato/garlic jam

yum

half whole wheat flour and half unbleached white flour also works

and now we will give the baked pancake a rest

you cant unring the bell

2007-05-18T20:30:00.000-06:00

mmmmmmmmmm

you cant unring the bell

but you dont have to listen to it clang

mmmmmmmmmm

thought for the day

Caterina's infatuation with the baked pancake

2007-05-13T14:22:00.000-06:00

:..:..:..:

see the baked pancake is sorta like a crepe and sorta like an omelet

like a crepe because you can fill it with something either sweet or savory

like an omelet because it has a distinct "egginess"

she thinks the baked pancake batter can also be baked in muffin tins or popover tins and come out like another shape to fill or even be Yorkshire Puddings !

Caterina had this for breakfast this morning :

preheat the oven to 425'

use an 8" iron frying pan with an oven proof handle / put a fat TB of butter in the pan

lightly beat an egg and add 1/4 cup flower and 1/4 cup milk to the egg / add a pinch of salt

mix the egg, milk, and flour, but leave it a little lumpy

when the oven reaches 425' heat the butter real quick in the pan until golden or even a little brown if you like it that way

immediately pour the egg mix into the pan / it should sizzle / and place right away in the hot oven for 15 minutes

it will puff up and look delicious

take it out of the pan and onto a plate / put a lot of strawberries on it that have been sliced and limed and sugared a little / fold it over

this is enough for one or two persons

double the recipe and use a 12" pan for 2-4 persons

^^^^^^^^^

sometimes Caterina fills the pancake with steamed spinach and cheese which should be hot

if you like it that way

fava beans

2007-05-13T07:53:00.000-06:00

we love fava beans / they are the earliest spring beans and we ate them when we lived in Rome served Roman style :

picked young and steamed in the pods with garlic and herbs and olive oil in the steam water

delivered to your table cosi / the diner opens the pods and pops out the beanie morsels / they are spring green and tender and taste like no other bean

today we will dine on fava beans and homemade focaccia in the style of Caterina Cacciatore :

the pods have been steamed and the beans have had their tough outer skin removed*

Caterina will gently mash them with some fruity olive oil and salt and pepper and then we will pile them on rosemary/garlic focaccia still warm from the oven

possibly with a sprinkle of crisp bacon in lieu of pancetta

or maybe no bacon since MissTickle is in charge of our Heart Healthy diet

*if we grew our own fava beans which we promise to do for next year we would be able to pick them young and tender ! too !

every year Skaterina learns more about how the automatic watering system works

2007-05-12T17:12:00.000-06:00

~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~

she knows where the sprinkler heads are in the first three zones

she remembers where the ones are that go missing like hiding under piles of dirt and pebbles at the edge of the carport and the one that is swallowed up by thick grasses plus buried in the dirt that came out of the hole for MissMPeach

she knows how to set the programs on the black box next to the electrical box / she knows how to set the time for each zone and when to start the program and how long each should run

this year she learned how to adjust the sprinkler heads herself instead of whining about it to anyone who will not adjust them for her

the key element she found is the just the right screw driver and a toothbrush to clean out the screw groove

turns out the just right screw driver is the one that goes with her sewing machine / the little old Elna named Sunshine

therefore the scrrew driver must be watched like a hawk it does not disappear into the parallel universe in which we spend a great deal of time

the best part of the day ....

2007-05-10T17:33:00.000-06:00

....

the best part of the day for Skaterina is waking up at 5 am
having a cappuccino made of freshly ground espresso beans with hot milk and a dash of cream
checking the news and email on the power book
going for a walk with the dogs / Dought and Dot / on current favorite : the trail through the woods that goes cross town

the best part of the day for MissTickle is laying down on the quilty mat for her abdominal scan as preparation for the Five Tibetans
she scans her abdomen and decides what she would like to eat to today that is nutritious and balanced and highfiber and heart heatlhy

(she describes the desired menu to Caterina

the best part of the day for Caterina is fulfiliing MissTickle's menu plan and adding her own fillips or fill ups

heh (for example she is deeply engaged in a chocolate baking binge)

the best part of the day for MrsFoley is the Sparkling Ginlet time of day

**************get the Bombay gin out of the freezer / put five or six ice cubes in a glass big enough to hold them with plenty of room for a capfull (that's a cap off the Bombay gin bottle, not a CUP full) of gin and then fill the glass with well iced Gerolsteiner sparkling mineral water and add the freshly squeezed juice of one half lemon or lime / a dash of Stevia to lightly sweeten*********

no fat, not sugar

refreshingly curious

Living on the Mesa was like being at Sea

2007-05-01T06:41:00.000-06:00

? ? ? ? ? ? ?

living on the mesa was like being at sea :

unlimited vision in all directions

a long way away

but being at sea was on a freighter / there was a captain of the ship / a crew / a few other passengers so life at sea was not like life on the mesa

still, life on the mesa was like being at sea

and life on the mesa was a curious kind of "still life"

and somehow we are still alive

inspite of everything

we have survived ourselves

the thing with the secret ingredient is ......

2007-04-28T18:05:00.000-06:00

.....................

the secret ingredient determines whether we will watch Iron Chef or not

she know longer cares what the secret ingredient is

Red Soup, Green Soup

2007-04-21T17:39:00.000-06:00

we love tomato soup / we love campbells tomato soup / with a can of milk added to it

Caterina sed we have to eat up last year's crop of canned tomatoes

she made a soup that was just like cambells before you add the milk / you know, kind of thick and gorpy ?

we humored her and ate some *thinned* with milk / snore

next day she thinned the tomato gorp with some homemade beef broth and coconut milk !

wow

seasoned with Fire Salt and Black Pepper / cheddar biscuit on the side

what no croutons ?

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

now we are having Green Soup

Caterina chopped some onion some celery some greenparts of scallions and some garlic in the food processor / limped them in butter/olive oil / added a big bunch of spring spinach that had been de-stemmed and run though the processor

add jellied beef broth and simmer until barely done / cool enough to put some but not all in the blender

Miss Tickle picks fresh parsley and cilantro / chopps it up / and it goes into the soup pot

this is a very green soup / warm it up and serve with a handfull of Mexican fresca cheese cubes

divinely green with bits of spring leafiness / chunk of focaccia slathered with unsalted butter

did i mention the Fire Salt ? yummy hot

Baked Pancake

2007-03-28T11:13:00.000-06:00

we had the baked pancake featured the other day in the New York Times for breakie today :

it is fun and easy to make :

preheat oven to 425'

lightly beat an egg, add 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup milk, a dash of salt and a grating of nutmeg

heat an iron frying pan with a heat proof handle with several tablespoons of butter until the butter is melted but not brown / for the amt of ingredients above use a medium size pan

pour the batter into the hot butter and immediately put the pan into the oven

bake for 15 minutes until puffed up and golden

drizzle with lemon juice and confectioners sugar and serve with fruits or jam

but we didnt do that / we steamed a little spinach in butter and chopped up some Mexican Fresca cheese into cubes / put the spinach and cheese on the pancake and back in the over for a few minutes

this was yummy

next time we will put roasted tomato/garlic jam on it

spring soup and tomatoes ......... 2007

2007-03-26T17:05:00.000-06:00

Skaterina sez she wont grow any tomatoes this year bc we still have too many jars that we canned last fall

she likes to have one canning be eaten up by beginning of new season

just the way she is

she learned herself how to can tomatoes / tomatoes are a big deal / an obssession asitwere

Sooooo , , , , Caterina begins to make every meal with tomatoes from the shelf of 2006 canned tomatoes

she is making a spring soup called Add A Tomato

as we eat the soup she adds another jar of tomatoes

&&&&&&& , , , we will never run out of this soup

here's how :

in food processor rough chop some carrots onions celery garlic / add some sprigs of freshherbs from the window sill over the sink

chop in processor some leftover potatoes (cooked) and a box of white mushrooms

saute in olive oil and butter in a heavy soup pot

add fat pint of rich jellied beef broth and a small jar of lambriblet jelly

simmer a while and then find a pkg of amaranth grains in the ice box / add a good handful to the

soup / simmer for 30 minutes when the amaranth will be done

serve with squirts of fresh lemon juice and seasonings of your choice / salt pepper / et cetera / whatever you like : coriander cardomon cinnamon cayenne or not

after each serving/eating add a jar of tomatoes to the pot / like leftover tomato jam and a small jar of golden tomatoes (the ones shaped like giant strawberries)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

meanwhile Mrs Foley orders six tomato seedlings from where usually get them / six not twelve / whew and now we know how not to have them come too soon

two new varieties we have not had before : Black Krim and Prudens' Purple

that romantic duo : Big Beef and Juliette

and two new cherry tomato varieties we have not had before : Tomatoberry and Sugary snap

ooooooooooooo

Miss Robey was our homeroom and english teacher when skaterina was a sophomore in high school

that would be 1947-48

she had a wondrously huge nose
a commanding nose
a nose like nose other nose
and she was er um truly homely

but not ugly / there is a difference / dont ask / dont tell

a memorable nose and a memorable teacher / she loved her subject / she relished her subject / when she told about shilish marner (Silas Marner) she kinda slurped through the silas part in juicy kind of way / we all came to appreciate silas marner

she assigned book reports and made us do them / smile

this is what i really thank her for / the book reports / having to get up in front of the class and risk making a fool of yourself / sheesh / it just had to be done

else how wd we get out of ourselves ?

Passport Picture

2006-12-13T05:32:00.000-07:00

we decided we were having a good hair day so we went to the post office to have our picture taken for our new passport

we were wrong about the hair

and then when La Senora della Vanita looked at our pictures she pointed to our rosy cheeks

hmmmm ? she murmured

have you been drinking wee drams of port in the afternoon ?

oh no we said

our cheeks are rosy from walking in the sunshine on the desert

that's our story and we are sticking to it

we are reeling . . . . .

being lazy today

2006-11-24T15:41:00.000-07:00

so lazy i cannot describe thanksgiving again so this is what i wrote to the NewsBlog

i was prepared to give thanks that i was not cooking anything at all for the dinner bc my grandson and his girlfriend and friends from back east were putting on the ritz / they had two turkeys one for her to roast and one for him to deep fry / the guests cranked out a phalanx of pies / but somehow the gf's turkey ended up in my oven and so i made the gravy too / for which i was thankful after all / that all of them pitched in was wonderful and heartwarming / but of course, as Jane Smiley wrote on huffington post there is always someone who cries over the food / in my case it was the sheer volume of food that i fear will go to waste / whilst cleaning up i heard my daughter saying Save the Bones, Save the Bones / why, whatever for / oh we make broth and so on

it was a nice day / ironically we have a spare turkey here at my daughter's house / she lives next door to me / as luck wd have it the NYT showed how to make a turkey confit with thighs, wings, legs, garlic, herbs, salt and two quarts of olive oil

i have never made a confit before so that is how i will spend the day

btw, as i wrote on the foodblog about mash taters with cream cheese the grandkid did 'em up to our highest standard of mash taters / yay

Miss Tickle is making us lose our killer belly fat

2006-11-24T15:03:00.000-07:00

she says to keep our heart drumming along nicely it is essential to dump the killer belly fat

she makes Caterina, our Cugina della Cucina, promise to stop doubling the amount of butter in every recipe

Caterina has to make a lot of stuff with fiber like Humdingers, her tasty fiber cookies

and we have to eat hot cereal with hemp seed meal thrown in

and cut down on godblossom as it makes us indiscriminately munch

like, you know, the blind munchies

pasta only every ten days

we feel better already

can you pee a pound ?

2006-11-18T08:26:00.000-07:00

<<>>

we weigh ourselves in the morning when we get out of bed in our night clothes

night clothes are usually lightweight linen

later when we get dressed we become naked and then we weigh a pound less than with the night clothes on

one morning we got naked and weighed ourselves and then we peed and then we weighed ourselves again / just curious, you know

we weighed another pound less

did we really pee a pound ?

son.out.law sez just because a scale is digital doesnt mean it is accurate

godmother

2006-10-17T08:02:00.000-06:00

a young man ambles up the driveway
have i a surprise for you, he says

i am B.... M.... and you are my godmother, he announces

ooops / my last known memory of this young man he is 16 and i am 40something living the get away from it all life on a mesa in se Utah / no water, no electricity, no clocks, mirrors, tv

what do you DO there ? he asked

i see a spectacular sunset every evening

he says he'd rather watch Starsky and Hutch

that was then and this is now

^^^^^

indeed he is the son of best friends during the young married phase of my life when, yes, skaterina participated in such events as bridal showers, baby showers, christenings, and general allround comaraderie with former highschool and college pals, hanging out at home and abroad, sharing beach cottages, ski trips, and supporting each other through mental breakdowns and what not

we were all growing up together

this godson's parents died youngish (under 50) and that was a while ago / we would all be 70somethings now / and so close contact went down the drain

now said godson lives in the same state but up north and has brought his two sons down to our mtn bike, jeep loving town to partake of the local recreation and he acquired my address from another old pal

well......

at this point i wish to revise history and tell what i would have liked to happen next for example we planned a get together for later that day / say 5:30 and a picnic supper on my new tumble rock patio where the dining table now resides

how charming and bucolic with the two boys, 8 and 10, having a merry time on our property with the dogs and so on while we got reacquainted and all of this out of doors

for, you see, my house is a jumble with my bedroom now in the living room so the bedroom can be replastered / all is awry and i am not as flexible as i used to be with my routines / i like to go to bed early, yeah, like 8 o'clock

so when he calls and sez we got lost on the trail we cant be there until 7 / i go along / daughter
now sez it is too cold to eat outside and she willy nilly hauls the table back inside necessitating further rearrangements of furniture

i drink some gin and mineral water and then i drink some more while waiting for them to arrive to we can eat the rather divine chicken wings and assorted salads

drink some more gin n min

whew well at last they arrive, the boys too tired to participate with the adults, boring as we must be, and shucks there are no toys and they are too picky to eat the wings and salad and a pizza must be ordered in a town with no delivery

sonoutlaw volunteers to go get the pizza which upon inspection hardly seems the kind of rubbish one would eat if one were truly "picky"

nevermind

Palm grease

2006-09-01T16:31:00.000-06:00

(((((((**********)))))))

palm grease is the oil that comes off your hand onto
the buttons of your remote control

skaterina noticed that many of the buttons on the remote were dingy grungy despite them not being punched often or not at all

she wd expect the most punched buttons to be dimmed with grey but not all the buttons for the vcr which she does not use with this television

allora cosi :

as she handles the remote and positions it in the palm for rapid execution and response (quick hit the mute) the hand just naturally emits some of its essence

we now address the issue of how to clean the remote

marvellas

2006-08-30T18:19:00.000-06:00

marvellas are heirloom tomatoes
coral red with delicate pale golden streaks
they are pretty and sweet / thin skinned &
not too many seeds

the marvella plant immediately produced two big green tomatoes
big like big as a softball / green as the green giant with no sign of red

hmmm i thought the plant would not produce any other tomatoes until the first two big ones were picked and / yes / eaten

Fried Green Tomatoes :

tomatoes need to be firm and crisp / slice into 1/4 or even 1/2 inch slices

dip in flour / dip in egg/water or egg/milk bath / dip in panko crumms

heat peanut oil hot not smoking / i like a large iron frying pan for fried green tomatoes

fry til crisp and golden on one side / turn and do the other

season with salt and pepper / whatever

our neighbors had never had a fried green tomato before

didnt know what he was missing

and yes after i picked the two big green ones the plant put out dozens more and they turned out to be these pretty pastel coloured Marvellas

how marvelous

the Telephone Jones

2006-08-27T08:04:00.000-06:00

a phonejones person
will answer the phone
no matter what
will jump out of a tub
or shower or put down
fork with luscious morsel
even interrupt love making
(yes, i have seen it happen_)

thank goodness for cell phones

phonejones person can be in touch every moment / hands free / ear piece firmly planted

and will call with every momentous bit of trivial minutiae / whether you are interested or not

but of course you are interested because you are the enabler and so you answer the phonejones summons because now it is your habit too / your addiction too / and because you have discovered that even when you dont answer and the phonejoneser leaves a message on your machine that the phonejoneser will just keep calling and leaving more messages and cannot wait for you to return its call so then your machine is all loaded up with messages / usually the same one "we havent talked for a while"

subtlety doesnt curb the onslaught / changing your number or heaving the answer machine out the window not appropriate at this time / time for the enabler to crack / lose her cool / lose her
control / hit the wall and turn into a raging a.....e

there

i said it and i am glad

and

that's my story and i'm sticking to it

kitterz the guest kitty settles in
she has climbed every tree
sat on every roof
(buildings and cars)
crouches in the open windows
at night keeping an eye on the locals

some of the locals are designated pets
others are feral who have been kindly
trapped and neutered and returned to
the neighborhood that trapped them
who are committed to continuing care
if needed

our community is a no kill zone for any animals that can be adopted, fostered, or returned to the wild (yeah, like deer and bears)

so ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

KitterZ "dad" came to get her the other day as he is in town for the week / she came when she heard his voice call her name / she headed for a door / one of the things she likes about my house are all the exits / one from every room / i like this too / smile

he took her away anyway / backing up to her travel cage so she wdnt see / hah

a couple of days later he called / she was relentlessly clamoring at him / demanding ! he said

she wont leave him alone ~ ~~ !!

next morning he brought her back

we received this e-mail :

Hello Katherine,
A very synchronistic turn of events had me smilling ear to ear this morning to find myself looking at your blog. This is _______ I came through Moab a couple of years ago now with _______ and her daughter...our VW had broken down and we were fortunate enough to be in the best of all possible places to break down. a magical place.

I've been living in South Korea for the past year and a half teaching English and trying myself on in a new and so very different culture.
My time here is winding down. In three weeks I'll go back to Canada to study for my bachelor of education. I've been waking up sweating at night at the thought of returning to school....formality vs. freedom.... ouch!
I know I want education part of my future in some capacity but I am certain it will have nothing to do with the public school system...so it will be a year of jumping through the hoops to get the credentials I need to open up more doors.
I'm interested in alternative school systems/workshop style learning environments, outdoor environmental education, and any kind of arts based learning.

Anyhow, I've been racked with indecision about this. I feel pulls in other directions...specifically toward India to persue yoga teacher training...but then there's this voice that says " just do this first"
So, sitting here behind a desk at my school in Jeollanamdo, South Korea, bored out of my skull because my classes are finished but I'm expected to stay until "clock out time",
I type " boredom indecision" into google.

Viola! up comes a link to your blog from november 29th 2004. I read and enjoyed for an hour and remembered what a fun time I had with you and Kaki and Doni. thank you again.

Just what I needed to hear.
I'm WILL celebrate my indecision! while I scoop up, gather in, slid through and spin around in this mad dance of an existence.
The path I choose is the path that chooses me!
Thank you skaterina!So much playful wisdom in one blog washes over me.
Made my day!
Bright Blessings,
_______________

BAGGAGE

gin

2006-07-08T07:26:00.000-06:00

a friend of mine calls gin "mothers milk"

hmmm

i like gin (Bombay and/or Bombay Sapphire) bc it is distilled from tasty aromatic botanicals

like coriander / lemon peel / angelica / licorice / juniper berries / and so on

it is a sugar free alcohol and does not set up sugar cravings like wine / beer / bourbon / tequila / and so on

i pay attention to sugar intake to avoid insulin rebounds that cause three day hangovers

i drink gin with sparkling mineral water and a tsp of frozen lime juice / plenty of ice cubes / big ones / like six of them in a low ball glass / short and wide

keep the gin in the freezer / gin drinks must be very very cold

(once in the winter i told someone i didnt drink gin in cold weather / he was so surprised / he never met anyone before who didnt drink something because it was winter / i said gin drinks have to be cold and icy and that is why they are so refreshing in hot weather and rather debilitating in cold weather)

you dont get that sticky in the mouth feeling when you wake up after a gin binge from the mineral water as you do with tonic / even the best tonic

tonic is afloat with sugars and fake flavors

now the curious thing is that one consumes a great deal of mineral water in relation to the amount of gin / say one ounce of gin to six ounces of water and melting ice

that old saying that if you drink as much water as you did alcohol before going to sleep you wont wake up dehydrated

so the gin and mineral water really is quite a bit like a purification or what i like to call a mental health drink

it is possible however to get a bit blitzed when overdoing the mental health part

and so i must report that i ordered a book of nine radio plays by an australian woman writer whose work fascinated me when i first discovered her twenty years ago / her name is elizabeth jolley / her work is surreal / exploring amazon.com while sipping mother's milk and mineral water i saw that she had written some radio plays and they are apparently a collectors' item for they are priced at $119.00

and yeah, i ordered them

dont know what i was thinking

curious i guess / in a mentally healthy way, of course

you can tell who the locals are ~~~

2006-07-07T17:33:00.000-06:00

~~~
when it rains in the desert
the locals stand in the rain

fifth of july / an old memory

2006-07-05T07:08:00.000-06:00

when i was a little girl i loved the books about The Bobbsey Twins

one year Nan and Bert and Freddie and Flossie were at the seashore for the 4th of July / they loved the fireworks

the next day it rained

Mr Bobbsey told them it always rains on the day after the fireworks because the fireworks shake up the sky / the clouds / the heavens

so, yeah, today it is raining in beautiful downtown Moab

every 4th of July i expect rain the next day and / guess what / i am seldom disappointed

the Dot watch

2006-07-02T15:47:00.000-06:00

Dot is built like a dachshund / low slung on short little legs / pointy nose / ears that flop

but she is wearing a poodle suit

take off the curly black dreds and she would look like a dachshund or / yes / with the pointy nose /

a Weasel

smile

Dot is getting old / her vision is dim / her ears fade / she is not so quick to run after something or anything or for the sheer fun of it / trying to keep up with Bullet back in the day / trying to keep up with Dought / until lately

she is content to trot at my heels or close by my side or even in front a little

the two mile walk in the early morning / ah yes / she is still up for that / rolling out of her basket some mornings before i call her / a little slowed down and tired on the last stretch

to be cont.. . . . . ..... . . . ..... ..... . .. . . . .

pearl grey with light markings / she has big eyes

how can i count the ways ?

she only eats kibble
only kibble / no other
human food item / oh
maybe a 1/4 sq of bacon
or ham / tempted by pork
products / but nothing else

my former cats never ate cat food / they ate raw meat
chicken livers greasy roasted chicken backs and necks

mice
rats

they loved warm cream on cool mornings / salmon / tuna / trout heads

KitterZ will have none of it
kibble makes her purr :

we are having a cake of half and half ricotta set on a slosh of olive oil / this ricotta cake is about the size of a tennis ball squashed down a bit / strew with chopped fresh herbs like lemon thyme / sage / rosemany / chives

drizzle more olive oil

surround the mound of ricotta with variously sliced fresh zucchine / green and yello and a red pepper to boot / season with more drizzles of olive oil / sea salt and coarse ground black pepper

warm in oven to the degree of cookness or warmness or brownedness or overdoneness

feeling cheezy
