Bread #2 and 3
http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/quinoa-bread-recipe.htm
and a Sage, Thyme, Rosemary loaf. They were both delicious. Quinoa was my first knead it bread. Its good for sandwiches, but not great. Still working on that.
Bread Loaf number 1!!
Successfully made loaf of bread number one. I just sufficed with the no-knead bread variety. But I added rosemary and lavender. It is delicious but certainly doesn’t meet my future requirements of learning bread baking.

The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman
Man, I love Anne Fadiman. There are not enough words to explicate how much I love her writing.
This piece of literature is at once illuminating, depressing, historical, and deeply emotional. The story of Lia Lee and her Hmong family paired with the medical anthropology infighting of culturally unqualified...

New Years Eves of Yore
So I never forget….
2005: The beginning of a habit. Traveling NYE’s. This year I spent the New Year drinking bucket cocktails on the streets of Bangkok. Ate pad thai, and watched the throngs of tourists returning from tsunami ridden areas of Thailand. I was with my friend Lillian, and we embarked on a great adventure to Cambodia the next day.
2006: I was lucky enough to attend...

Must not forget...
I will be in Kenya twice a year into the foreseeable future. I often forget to write down the ways in which Muhuru Bay touches me. It stirs my heart and tugs at my soul strings, calls me back time and again.
-Mama’s hug. Her rough hands. How beautiful she looks when she smiles at me.
-Gray shoved fistfulls of ripe mangoes in his pockets today. He smiled gleefully from treetops as he...

Skill of the month, January 2012: Learning to...
I know how to make one type of bread. The easy, no-knead, let rise and bake bread. That is not sufficient to make 52 loaves. I would get bored. Desperately bored. So January 2012’s goal is to learn how to bake rustic loaves, sandwich bread, and maybe a french bread too.
2012
My tumblr is going to be changing directions in 2012. I call it my experiment in passionate living.
I’ve noticed since graduating from Smith in 2007, that my life has lacked a certain luster I used to really admire about myself. I felt that I had a lust for life, a passionate understanding of who I was, and so much more. As such I am attempting to recreate myself in 2012. Focus on what...

A quick discussion of conflict theory
Commence Rant.
People get into arguments. People fight. Things escalate. People shoot at each other. People die. More people die. People chit chat. Things escalate again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
What the heck else is there? Honestly.
I am writing an eight page paper on the theories of conflict and it seems ridiculous for me to even be writing it. Theory is THEORY! Conflicts happen...

Succoth/Succot/Sukkot
Unintended consequences to the succoth holiday.
Succoth houses become shelter to homeless. Police forced to deal with succoth evictions. But wait, are they homeless or sleeping the in the succoth to celebrate the harvest or whatever OR are they homeless and need temporary shelter? This is for you to decide. Although I contend that its difficult to stop someone from sleeping in a Succoth when...
