ExoSkeleto: the edge of spring
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2010/03/edge-of-spring.html
The edge of spring. Yesterday two students in my cooking class requested that we learn to poach eggs, which inspired a trip to Clifford Family Farms for fresh eggs. Driving south from the school towards the farm, the eastern mountains were jagging up from clouds and mist and edges of sunlight were just glowing around the peaks. . It was very happy. 160;We poached them. Cali was scared to eat them. "They're slimy," she said. Megan and Mackenzie didn't taste. Maybe by the end of the week? March 16, 201...

ExoSkeleto: my book is writing itself
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-book-is-writing-itself.html
My book is writing itself. Sometimes it seems my whole life has been a struggle between two poles: the North Pole, where I'm dominating space, in charge, on a high, in control, and the South Pole, where I can't even put one foot in front of the other, and all I can think about is how I slipped down past the equator to this gloomy, horrible failed place. I'm on a quest to be okay with not being in charge, because I'm really not, none of us are really in charge, right? And then sa nom. How will it read?

ExoSkeleto: 10/20/10/20
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2010/10/10201020.html
One morning I woke up and felt some cramping, and this was different from any other sensation I'd ever had. I was going to have my first baby. We lived on 4th Avenue, right off of Geary in the Inner Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco. In the mornings fog came off the beach and then burned away. . Here's a list of some of my favorite qualities about her:. 1) She's gorgeous, as you can see-. 2) She has a very, very kind heart. 3) She's amazing with children. 5) She's curious about everything. Yup D...

ExoSkeleto: Lara's List of Lady Writers
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2011/01/laras-list-of-lady-writers.html
Lara's List of Lady Writers. I'm jumping into the list craze. Here and starting a list of 100 great books by Ladies. I know, it's possible that I'm only contributing to the ghettoization of Lady Writers, and so I'm interested to know what you all think of the categorization of literature by gender and race. Segregation or separation? 160;Necessary or not? Each week I'd like to look at some different themes/areas of Women's Lit (again, your suggestions are greatly appreciated! 1) Beloved. Um Um . ...

ExoSkeleto: the same, and different
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2010/06/same-and-different.html
The same, and different. So many things are different this year. So many things are the same. Something about getting older makes me appreciate the cycles more than I used to, the constancy and the change. . Here's me, pounds lighter, with a published book, reading from it in Amsterdam:. Last year there was no oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico, though our waters were in danger already. Here are my eco-inspired poems in Poets for Living Waters. Happy New Year in June!

ExoSkeleto: Bedraggled Tree 2010
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2011/01/bedraggled-tree-2010.html
T his photo of Eva and Ingrid reminds me, for some reason, of when they were little and they used to play "Lizzie and Jane" from Pride and Prejudice, which used to play constantly in the background of our lives in Seattle. I can't bring myself to take down the now sagging and brittle lopsided Christmas tree. Is there a way to savor the days more slowly? The day before Christmas, Ingrid rounded up all of the kids and went with her friend photographer Nate Lebaron to Rock Canyon where he took many beautifu...

ExoSkeleto: funeral potatoes
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2010/03/funeral-potatoes.html
Yesterday in Relief Society, Sister B. got up to thank everyone for helping out with the four funerals we've had in the past seven weeks in our ward. This can't be a bad thing, to come together in this way, even with processed, industrial food, to support each other in our trials. And though I've had my moments of alienation in the past twenty-plus years as a sister, this communal spirit keeps me in the fold year in and year out. Ps- photo of molten funeral potatoes stolen from this website. Thankfully, ...

ExoSkeleto: Produce
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2010/09/produce.html
This image is from this article on the Provo Farmer's Market. 160;We also admired some beautiful hand-made tin jewelery, soaps, and lotions. . The new calmer, less busy and anxious me is returning to the kitchen a little bit at a time, and renewing my commitment to local, from scratch family cooking to the best of my budget and ability. So, here are some things I'll be making this week:. Roasted Acorn Squash/Carrot Soup. French Onion Soup (I have to use up my 50 lb. bag of onions). Walden Cooks and Eats.

ExoSkeleto: Resolves
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2011/01/resolves.html
I've been explaining these resolutions to myself in my head for several weeks now. I think I have them sort of worked out, even though my very first resolution was against resolve:. 1) Be more aware and observant. Be present with people and don't let goals and what you think. Be happening get in the way of what is. 3) Formally express gratitude once a week. 4) Read the New Testament. 5) Finish the libretto begun in 2010. 6) Limit kids' screen time to weekends only, thereby giving us more time for:. At ou...

ExoSkeleto: Lula
http://exoskeleto.blogspot.com/2010/07/lula.html
Maybe it's because she tries so hard to make everyone happy. Or because she's so full of ideas, energy, and fun, . But something about this girl makes me want to do anything to please her. Like throwing her two full birthday parties, including one with thirty tweens. . . . Or creating a recipe for lettuce wraps for her birthday dinner. . . And most of all, making these (what were supposed to be completely adorable) slightly creepy toadstool cupcakes. I don't do crafty crafts or foods,. C jane enjoy it.
