In modern culture ‘Basic’ implies that everything we do as individuals must be extraordinary and original if it is to have any meaning and value to us and others, right down to our coffee of choice. If we do anything remotely ‘standard’ there is this implication that we are boring and uneducated, we are #basic. Read More …
It’s been awhile since I did a potluck post. The reality is that while we are entering year three of our monthly potlucks I myself do not always have the chance to attend them. I was happy however to attend last night’s Middle Eastern Potluck though, which was one of our last outdoor hurrahs of Read More …
Autumn; my favorite season. After the rush and the heat of the summer we can finally slow down, cool down and begin to recuperate. I find myself on edge in the summer, feeling the desire to live every moment as big and full as I can get it rather than letting it pan out as Read More …

Although we haven’t started our garden yet our herb pot is going strong AND our chickens have started laying eggs again, which warrants a mini celebration in and of itself. Yesterday morning we had our Read More …
Pie, who doesn’t love it? Or do I mean Pi, the mother of all numbers? My friends and I love both, being the nerdy food lovers that we are, so March’s Potluck gathering was in celebration of all things Pie and Pi. Mike and I brought two pies to the table: Vegan gluten free Read More …
February’s Potluck Dinner Club gathering was romantically themed, inspiring everyone to bring their best Aphrodisiac dish or food item.

March 1st, 2010 That’s the date I started my gluten free life style five years ago today. This anniversary means that I am no longer a gluten free toddler, I get to play with the big kids now!
