Weird and noisy.
Why do my ears ring/hum like a conch shell when I drink any amount of alcohol, even just a half a drink?
Drives me batty, but not enough to remember to not drink.

Happiness
My friend Molly, who takes care of Lila after school for a couple of hours on the days I work, and who I’ve been having a ball exploring raw food preparations and lacto-fermentation with, made me a great big gluten-free, dairy-free, molten chocolate cupcake with cinnamon buttercream (earth balance) icing. I had a slice with a glass of red wine and yeah, I have a happy.
I'm actually surprised my skin isn't turning green...

Ooh, another favorite kale thing:
Cook your favorite grain (I like quinoa or brown basmati rice). I prefer to cook it by browning it in a bit of oil before adding the water… then when the grain is finished cooking, mix in a cup or two of kale that you’ve run through the food processor until it’s really tiny pieces. The hot grain wilts it, but it gives the grain a delicious bright note and is so nutritious.

marleymarley asked: Hey! Would you be willing to share your favorite kale recipe with me? I'd love to use the stuff more, but don't have any recipes that have been 'reliable' or 'wonderful', to be honest (though one that had tahini, garlic, and lemon was pretty good - just too rich/filling for regular use, you know?)
TT Valentine's Edition
I’m in no mood to cook tonight, and have been making my poor family eat mountains of kale and poached organic chicken with me for weeks, so I bought a bucket of fried chicken, a tub of mustard potato salad, and a few trays of nori rolls at the grocery store. I know those things don’t exactly go together, but they’ll have to do.

Note to self:
Feeding child miso soup with dehydrated tofu in it may result in her dying of unintended, self-inflicted methane poisoning during the night unless you crack the window in her bedroom.
Holy Maude in heaven.
My eyes are burning.

One of our five cats just walked into the dining room and for a second I saw her as a person walking into the dining room, purportedly to axe murder me.
What else was in that smoothie?
Wow. Just...wow. I could try to explain this,... →

“25 Extremely Upsetting Reactions To Chris Brown At The Grammys”
Although, honestly, once you’ve read the first one, you needn’t read #s 2 through 25. It’s all the same thing.
IT’S ALL THE SAME THING!
I swear, if I ever question the impact a nerdy dude like me can have on my daughters’ lives, I need only look at this for a couple of seconds.

I’m curious about what people would do if they had the opportunity to go off and learn things … so if you had the time and money to go and learn anything you wanted - anything - a skill, craft, profession - absolutely anything … what and why?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine, as children do.

"The Bridge" By Edwin Friedman
tj:
There was a man who had given much thought to what he wanted from life. He had experienced many moods and trials. He had experimented with different ways of living, and he had had his share of both success and failure. At last, he began to see clearly where he wanted to go.
Diligently, he searched for the right opportunity. Sometimes he came close, only to be pushed away. Often he applied...
