COVID Clench, Pandemic Hair and Cardamom Braids

laura bruno lilly — Wed, 19 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000

In my fantasies of what I’d do first once I was fully vaxxed, getting a haircut was the primo #1 Big Thing. I’d been gearing up for the Big Leap into an enclosed, hair salon experience during the 2 weeks-after-my-second-jab clearance and figured it’d cross off two ToDos at the same time. #1 – Getting […]

Neighborly Meals

A little over two weeks ago, our neighbor across the street tested positive for you-know-what. Most are renters on this block* – us in tiny houses, others in an apartment complex, one door down from both of our houses. There is much coming and going noted as there are no garages to hide the ins […]

It’s Beginning to Smell A Lot Like Christmas

Holiday prep has been fun. Just the fact of being able to search out Christmas gifts for loved ones is a blessing not taken lightly. Ever frugal, this quest has held plenty of intrigue, mystery and excitement. Except for that, though, one would never suspect we were getting ready for the holidays with mucho-gusto. – […]

Observe the fine crumb of this loaf. The inviting chew of its crust. Such a gorgeously perfect specimen of my ‘true sourdough’ … or is it? The aroma emitted during its time of baking signal salivary glands to sweat in anticipation of a heavenly tasting loaf … or is it? Finally ready for slicing, the […]

I love to cook and bake. Since I have featured my homemade sourdough breads in two previous articles (click on recipe name for article or here & here), I thought it appropriate to share my original recipes. Also included is a muffin/quick bread recipe that I adjusted to help use up excess starter. (Which is […]

It was only a loaf of bread (poem)

One loaf out of four. (baked to imperfection) One loaf chosen. (the one most round; least browned) Bridging our door to theirs. (some 30 steps away) Three of five arrive next morning. (from their door to ours) Hand-delivering note of thanks. (smiling faces all around) One loaf out of four. (baked warmth shared)

Longest Night of the Year: 2013 Reflections (part two)

laura bruno lilly — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:05:54 +0000

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” -Victor Hugo What better way to ease into another set of 2013 Reflections than with luscious references to food? This past year, I resumed my life as a ‘good cooker.’ This family badge of honor, proudly reactivated now that I have a kitchen at […]
