Overheard last night chez DaisyBones: *Achoo!* “Don’t sneeze in mommy’s gluten!”
To make gluten “meat” from regular whole wheat flour, you mix up dough with cold water and about 4 cups of flour. Knead it for 15 minutes-ish, maybe less. Mine was a little chewier than I’d like.
Put it in a bowl and cover with cold water. [...]

muffin love and teh holy grail(s)
March 21, 2008 – 6:05 pm
I appointed myself Queen of the Honeycakes for ritual food tomorrow. Found some honey orange muffins and another honey muffin recipe, so the baking will be a hybrid of this + this. For non Wiccy peeps, Cakes & Wine is like communion sort of and also grounds you after energy raising. Being very Kitchen Witch myself, I [...]

really yum potato soup
January 28, 2008 – 8:40 pm
My recipe book reads kind of like a journal. Or a lab report. There’ll be an original recipe then there are my notes and slashings through (and also dried, caked on splatters.) This is sometimes because I need math reminders when I half a veg recipe Bu won’t eat. Usually there are substitutions for cheaper, less exotic [...]
winter blues have me
January 8, 2008 – 4:05 pm
I’m so eyeball deep in the January Funk. I feel like my limbs are lead and my brain is opiated. I want to eat bread and butter by the loaf, or maybe two or three pizzas, and enough chocolate to boost entire South American economies. I want to lie in bed with TV & movies [...]
the burgh & the boobs
November 27, 2007 – 12:26 am
We are safely in our hotel near Pittsburgh, despite the torrential rain and a teeny wrong turn that cost us .75 and 30 minutes on a toll road. We’ve been to dinner with Laura who is adorable and interesting in person- much as she is on my instant messenger, and Dan, who is freaking gorgeous [...]
sa-weet! spurlock attacks consumerism
November 21, 2007 – 5:41 pm
Just discovered this: Morgan Spurlock’s “What Would Jesus Buy?” Rock on. Because my lack of spending is a radical activist statement that in no way springs from my abject poverty.
I am such a fountain of holiday fucking cheer today. Can you stand it? The perky Daisy will rear her little lovebead-adorned self when I wake up [...]
i’m officially the village looney chick…

Bu presents as evidence the fact that I stole my neighbor’s trash to put it in our recycling pile. But, dood: why would you put pizza boxes just loose out with the garbage? It would be like 10 seconds extra to throw them in the bag the city provides and they pick it up for [...]
ladies and gentlemen, we have a new word
October 29, 2007 – 12:57 pm
She says “chocolate”! Well, “gock-lit.” This is yummy chocolate whipped yogurt, which has so much fat and protein, I’ve decided to overlook the HFCS When we finish a cup, I look like this too, because she feeds me the last third or so. This might be my favorite word yet.
i’m having trouble shaking it off
September 1, 2007 – 11:49 pm
Even when Bu goes streaking through the house and pulls me from my slouching-in-chair to do our family-of-boo trademark happy dance. It’s not terrible. I didn’t spend the day in tears or anything, just still feel like the color in my energy and perception is turned down a couple of notches.
It was a good simple morning. [...]
