8221;it must give pleasure ” — Wallace Stevens. Skip to primary content. Submitting, Part 2. Saying Farewell To Illness. September 20, 2006. Yesterday morning, on my way into my office in San Francisco, I realized I was no longer in the fog I’d seemed to have fallen into when I learned I had breast cancer. This fog mostly seemed to involve eating a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream, lying around reading, and thinking about mortality more than I usually do. I kept wanting to say,. Oh, bloglily, this po...

cooking vintage: February 2007
http://vintagecook.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
This is a place for me to explore recipes from my collection of old and vintage cookbooks, and just talk about food and recipes in general. Sunday, February 18, 2007. Winter calls, of course, for comfort food. For a dish baked in the oven, the warmth and smell of it permating the house. For blankets of creamy cheese sauce. For turkey and broccoli, which is the family name for this heavenly dish, sometimes known elsewhere as Something or another Divan. Why divan? Isn't this anothe name for sofa/couch?

Frida's Notebook: Off on mission again
http://fridaworld.blogspot.com/2007/01/off-on-mission-again.html
Saturday, January 27, 2007. Off on mission again. Originally uploaded by frida world. I'm off on mission again, this time to Badghis province, to the north of Herat. Last time I was there we ran human rights/ child rights workshops for school children, including the adorable girls in this photo. Anyway - I will have limited web access so I probably won't be able to update here very often or check in on all of you. Sounds like a rewarding mission for all concerned. Safe journey! I just discovered you thro...

my novel on toast: March 2006
http://novelontoast.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
My novel on toast. Friday, March 31, 2006. This is what they used to call it when you re-enlisted in the Marines (and maybe they still do). There was a monetary bonus for re-enlisting, as I recall, and all the Marines said that the money wouldn't make any difference, they'd never re-up, no way, no how. But then they did, some of them anyway. (As a Marine wife, I found a lot of their behavior inexplicable.). Posted by mary grimm at 10:39 PM. Links to this post. Friday, March 24, 2006. Visit to the old man.

my novel on toast: April 2006
http://novelontoast.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
My novel on toast. Sunday, April 30, 2006. I’m bored with the Rose Lake chapter. I feel as if I’m getting no nearer the end, even though I now have 474 pages. The end keeps receding. I remember a bit of this with my last novel, but it seems much worse now. Which I pretended was productive, but it really wasn't. Why are Carl and Jason going to Rose Lake? It’s the end, stupid. Why can’t I get at the writing of it? Do I need some kind of intervention? Another, the saintly T, says, Yes, we’ve been worried ab...

My novel on toast. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Love post to John McPhee. I'm going away for the weekend to a place where there will be no computers, no email, no novel (well, actually I'm taking the 8 disks that my novels parts and notes are on because I am paranoid; suppose a novel- stealing burglar broke in while I was gone? But I had to put up these links to John McPhee-abilia. In the NYer online and another. Posted by mary grimm at 10:50 AM. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. She goes and loo...

Finalist for the 2015 Oregon Book Awards. February 2, 2015. We are excited to announce that. The Soil Will Save Us: How Scientists, Farmers, and Foodies Are Healing the Soil to Save the Planet. Is a Finalist for the 2015 Oregon Book Awards. Some thoughts on writing. May 23, 2014. My friend Lynn Kanter. April 28, 2014. Topics: Science and Health. I once found the sight of soil opened up to receive seed so delicious I could imagine tasting it. After all, it looks very much like unfrosted chocolate cake.

My novel on toast. Sunday, November 27, 2005. Post-it addiction: incurable and loving it. Posted by mary grimm at 5:06 PM. Links to this post. And of course for cryptic notes that I'll be unable to remember the significance of ("The mother-accusers should come later"). A question for the ages: would post-its have improved the output and/or work of novelists of the past? And we'd know what was supposed to come after. For he on honey-dew hath fed,. And drunk the milk of Paradise. Links to this post. Of Taz...
