Pan Roasted Vegetables are My Jam

I do not mean what one spreads on bread with peanut butter. — It’s that time, folks. Fresh vegetable season. Treat yourself to pan roasted almost anything from the farmer’s market garden. Do this: 1.

Teensy Love Story

One hundred heart emoji Toy dishes were my jam as a kid.

In those dark days, my heart soared only when I heard the lapping rhythm of my beloved Teddy…

Anywhere Means Here

Spoiler alert: These lovers do NOT break up. I look again and yes, you are here. Two hydrangeas planted in a reasonable garden, not quite ten years ago.

December Fashion Week

We were not invited. — Prancing their runways twenty streets down while issuing vetted invitations to huddle, gnaw carcasses and spin untruths. Their sequinned polyester jackets discarded in a hate-rant dance, making them feel superior, omnipotent, and self-justified.

Hurricane Spider

Engulfing body and soul. — The wind squalls plastered hair to my cheeks, my fingers dressed up like windshield washers, ineffective against the reality of crazy glue, masking as water.

I tell friends, “I started a new business — manufacturing lawn signs announcing Please don’t disturb the hermits. See, if I could go, “Presto, I’m a turtle,” I could literally duck inside my shell until…Erm. Not sure. Reading…
