Happy Easter
………What!!? No buns? I find it odd. It seems like the Easter Bunny is overtaking the fellow after whom the holiday was originally devoted but there doesn’t seem to be any protest. At Christmas there were plenty of ‘Keep Christ in Christmas’ signs but not a single ‘Keep Easter about Jesus’ sign appeared this past week. […]
Foraging Further Afield
…in which I go into the woods. So, having been unable to find greenbrier in sufficient quantities in my own backyard, I decided to head across the road to see if I could find a large enough root to make beer. Back at my other home I would have just slipped on a pair of sneakers and […]
Foraging for Food
….or getting down to the root of it all. Earlier in February I attended a lecture at the Florida Natural Plant Society on edible wild plants. The speaker, Peggy Sias Lantz, stood on a little raised stage with a table in front on which were buckets full of various types of greenery. She had gathered all of […]
Strawberry Season?
……or fact: Maintaining an appropriate seasonality is a basic ecological requirement for all organisms (Powell/Logan 2005). I smelled them before I saw them while heading for the bin of oranges at the market stand a couple of days ago. The aroma of fresh strawberries smacked my limbic system to attention and like a setter sensing […]
T’was the Day After Christmas
……..or Watch Out B’ys, She’s Gonna Blow. It’s Boxing Day. No need to wish anyone a ‘happy’ or ‘merry’ boxing day, it just is, that’s all. I like to think that it is the day that Christmas goes back in the box for another year, but traditionally that is on January 6th, Old Christmas Day. […]
Berry Heaven
….Blueberry heaven that is, blue gold, Newfie tea¹….. The call came early: “Want to go berry-picking?” The response was swift “Yes, indeed I do?” Me and blueberries go way back and even as a kid I never turned down an invitation to go picking. My first watercolour was a bunch of blueberries and I embroidered […]
Berry Fun
…or I’m an Adult Now and I Can Play with My Food if I Want To. While I was in Newfoundland my sister served us freshly picked blueberries with our breakfast. I loves blueberries!! I loves breakfast at Mary’s cabin. © Judy Parsons 2015 Don’t miss another post – subscribe today on […]
Bonfire Night
…..or Guy Fawkes Night It was mauzy outside so I had my bonfire indoors this year and decided to have bonfire food for supper. Well, kind of. Sausage substituted for hot dogs and instead of a lonely foil wrapped up potato, I chopped some and wrapped them in foil with the bangers and sliced onion and cooked […]
Happy Halloween
….or I just keep getting scarier every year. Still having problems with comments. © Judy Parsons 2015
Thanksgiving Come and Gone
…….in which we give thanks. And stuff ourselves. But seriously, Thanksgiving is not just an excuse to overeat; it is good to take time to give thanks. I am thankful for my wonderful family and for living in a multi-cultural country in peace and prosperity. © Judy Parsons 2015 […]
