Frog's Eyebrows & Cat's Pajamas: April 2013

Frogs Eyebrows and Cats Pajamas. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. A kitchen without a knife is not a kitchen" Masaharu Morimoto. Part two of the gifts that change the way I cook. And eat, come to think of it! I have tried carving watching a video of how to do it. I’ve tried with a step-by-step magazine open right in front of me. I think I even tried one year after talking to dad on the phone whilst the turkey was resting under foil. Nothing worked, and dad had a theory: my knives suck. These knives have changed...

Steve's thoughts: October 2011
http://steve-sibbaldfamily.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Reflections on the meaning of life, by a guy who does NOT have all the answers. Sunday, October 30, 2011. Many years ago I read a book by Bertrand Russell called, " Why I am not a Christian. I found it to be depressing. My recollection of his reasoning is that he doesn't believe because Christians have committed atrocities in the name of faith, because there is no complete proof of God's existence, and because faith prevents us from becoming truly fulfilled, free and happy. No proof of God? I choose to b...

Why we’re dropping out of home school | I have to sit down
https://simchafisher.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/why-were-not-home-schooling-next-this-year
I have to sit down. Laquo; That poem. I’ll just say it for you: AWESOME! Why we’re dropping out of home school. August 24, 2010 by Simcha Fisher. A couple of people have asked why we’re not home schooling any more. We will be, a little bit — my six-year-old son will be at home for first grade, and my four-year-old daughter keeps handing me notes composed of random letters, in a pathetic plea to be taught how to read and write. 8221; just like Gob Bluth. But I was sitting here ordering the math books for ...

Frog's Eyebrows & Cat's Pajamas: February 2012
http://madamedelaverdure.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Frogs Eyebrows and Cats Pajamas. Friday, February 17, 2012. No one is good at everything, everyone is good at something. I keep having to relearn lessons. I am not alone in this, though, am I? It’s just so irritating. To realize that I could have avoided any number of things – pain, embarrassment, criminal charges – if I’d remembered a previously learned lesson. Years ago (decades, actually) I read Markings by Dag Hammarskjold. I still have the book, but there is one bit that I never need to look up:.

Frog's Eyebrows & Cat's Pajamas: March 2012

Frogs Eyebrows and Cats Pajamas. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Happy happy joy joy. Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion. Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778). I've been thinking a lot about happiness lately. I used to think it was dorky to get excited over small things. I've grown up a bit and have come to realize that finding happiness in the little moments as well as the big is one of the things that makes life joyous. There are potato recipes in the book. Twelve of them! And s...

Frog's Eyebrows & Cat's Pajamas: Rather Fail with Honour than Succeed by Fraud
http://madamedelaverdure.blogspot.com/2012/09/rather-fail-with-honour-than-sucdeed-by.html
Frogs Eyebrows and Cats Pajamas. Friday, September 14, 2012. Rather Fail with Honour than Succeed by Fraud. What happened to the days when one’s word was one’s bond? And defended, vigorously? Or perhaps that is what is not real? Maybe it’s just fiction that portrays an earlier time where one’s word meant something, and fiction has conned me yet again. September 14, 2012 at 4:09 PM. Wow I hope its not a trend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Music: the Hurtin' Kind. What camping does to you.

Change the Child or Change Your World
http://www.handsfreemama.com/2015/05/19/change-the-child-or-change-your-world
Letting Go.To Grasp What Really Matters. Video & Press. Change the Child or Change Your World. May 19, 2015. You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way. I would still be getting sick from sheer exhaustion and sleep deprivation. I would still be making my way through typed to-do lists and neglecting the most important tasks of life like living and loving. I would have missed the mama bird who tucked her nest in the corner of my porch. I hav...

Frog's Eyebrows & Cat's Pajamas: December 2011
http://madamedelaverdure.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Frogs Eyebrows and Cats Pajamas. Thursday, December 29, 2011. Some day I'll write a post about the change for good that one woman can do. But at the moment the story that I keep chewing over isn't an uplifting story. It has helped, though, in that it has me looking more carefully at how I am living my life. I don't like how I feel physically when I hold dislike inside. But this woman.boy, was she a piece of work. And then. Close to two years after meeting the first woman, I find out that the grandmother ...

Frogs Eyebrows and Cats Pajamas. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. What a MIghty Fine Man. Thanksgiving has been and gone, and it was delightful. I'm big on Thanksgiving and family. In fact, I think I cried more my fist Thanksgiving alone than I did my first Christmas alone! This year was a good year, lots, if not all of my family and LOTS of food. Food I didn't have to make! Well, except dessert that is. I'll be making pie at Thanksgiving until I'm in my grave. Hopefully! Because someone else did the hard st...
