Have you ever heard of the term “rewilding”? It refers to an effort or a movement if you want to call it that, to return your garden to a more natural or uncultivated state. It does seem to be gaining momentum or getting more popular. I've been encountering more and more articles advocating it. In principle, I agree with the idea of rewilding. In practice, however, it's a little unnerving to do it. If anything, I’m guilty of doing the opposite - I’m constantly “de-wilding” or reclaiming the ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #533
You sure can’t rely on Mother Nature these days… or has it always been this way all along? That Mother Nature is unreliable? I had planned to have salad for dinner every day this week since it felt like summer at the start of the week. The fridge is fully stocked up with lettuce, chicory, endive, spinach, cucumbers, and tomatoes… no, not tomatoes. You don't put tomatoes in the fridge, do you? Anyway, just lots of fresh veggies. But yesterday my body just refused salad. My body needed soup. I ... continue reading...

Ah, it's springtime! The sun is shining, the landscape is waking up, and animals are coming out of hibernation. These picturesque scenes were taken at Central Park, NY, last weekend. Then I came home and it poured… and poured… and poured… By day #4 (or 5? Clearly, I’m brain-fogged from all the rain) of whole-day downpours, I was beginning to feel cross. This was not the spring break I was looking forward to! So when there was a break yesterday, I decided to get out of the house, even ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #530
Happy Fiesta Friday, everyone! Once again we've decided to go away for the weekend so we had our Easter ham early. It was going to be a low-key affair for just the husband and me, anyway, so it was a simple meal of baked ham with roasted baby potatoes. There were some glazed baby carrots, but that's pretty much it. The son did eventually join us but even with an extra mouth to feed, I still had a lot of ham left over. If you have any ideas about what's the best thing to do with leftover ... continue reading...
