Do you hate plastic bags as much as I do? I have a serious vendetta against them. If I’m walking down the street and see someone carrying something easily portable in a double layered plastic bag, I feel my heart rate increase. Or if I’m in line at a store and someone picks up something [...]
Last year, I grew several herbs from seed. Two out of three plants sprouted up, including an especially healthy mint plant. Unfortunately, the mint started thriving at exactly at the same time that last year’s intense summer heat arrived. This heat was literally magnified through our 50 + year old windows, and the two plants [...]
I caught a glimpse of a stunning mortar and pestle by English company Wade Ceramics and promptly researched to see what other products they make. I find the clean lines of their ceramics soothing and refreshing. Each item serves as a quick way to freshen up any kitchen countertop. Though I’m more drawn to the [...]
Terrariums recently captured my attention. We rarely watch CBS Sunday Morning anymore, but a few months ago, the stars aligned (we were awake, not at brunch, and the show wasn’t doing yet another biopic on a little known folk musician from the 1960s!). We tuned in right at the beginning of a segment on terrariums, [...]
This Winter, I’ve slowly gathered books on canning and preserving. I’m preparing for Spring (and Summer and Fall). This is the last Winter I want to spend relying on root vegetables, kale, eggs, and grains. As much as I like those foods, around this exact time, each February, I reach a point of exhaustion with [...]
In April, Justin and I are taking a long-anticipated trip to Portland, Oregon. I’m sure that as the trip gets closer my lists will become more succinct than what I have now. What I have now is a four page Word document randomly listing stores, coffee shops, bakeries, and shops, each place haphazardly added as [...]
Time stands still in our kitchen. Not exactly, but we are missing a key element: the ability to tell time. We don’t have a microwave and our stove is old and without a clock. I’m frequently running out to the living room to check the time on the cable box. We’ve talked about getting a [...]

Last year, after several months of attempting to take our food scraps from Brooklyn to Union Square, we gave up. Why were we taking food scraps to Union Square? Even though we don’t have a backyard to start a compost pile or a garden, we wanted help other plots of land in New York through [...]
