I know a lot of you have already seen the happiest Buddha on facebook, but I wanted to make sure that everyone got a chance to see him. I feel slightly guilty that he used to make the day of all of the shoppers in Port Townsend where he lived as a doorstop and now …

Cinderella, Watch Out
I’ve decided to dedicate my life to pumpkins. I’ve always loved pumpkins — for one thing, they are adorable, all round and fat and orange with whimsicle curly bits at the stem, and for another they are incredibly tasty. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin chocolate chip cheesecake, pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin …
Boyfriend Out of Town Day 5
The final day without the boyfriend. Felt a bit better. Yay! Almost like a productive member of society again. You might notice that I’m somewhat obsessed with food (particularly potatoes), but you might not know that I have recipes in a cookbook THAT’S IN PRINT. That you can go all on your little lonesome and …
Boyfriend Out of Town Day 4
Boyfriend out of town day 4 (out of 5) was yesterday. Still sick. Still not the fun party time one would expect of being home alone. Read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Wild Magic for non-scary entertainment (HP only the first half, the second half is way too scary!). But there was even …
Boyfriend Out of Town Day 3
Boyfriend out of town Day 3 (of 5) was on Saturday. All of my big plans for strolling around in the autumn sunshine, hanging out at coffee shops, and reading with a cat on my lap and a big mug of tea went right out the window. In the wee hours of Saturday, somehow I …
Boyfriend Out of Town Day 2
Day 2 of boyfriend out of town/celebration of potatoes was Friday. It was a super awesome fun being at home alone kind of day (and I’m glad I enjoyed it because of what came next). I walked to the co-op, tried to find some non-scary books at the library, hung out and wrote at the …
Boyfriend Out of Town Day 1
Actually, that was yesterday, so I’m already one day behind! Who knew that little old not quite employed yet me (still running paperwork at my new job before I can start) would be so busy on my first day of Barrett being out town? I had big plans to do coffee shops every day while …
Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Veggies
This is v. v. v. good when it is all cold and fall-like out. Barrett* makes the garlic mashed potatoes — I think he steams the potatoes with three or four whole peeled garlic cloves in it and then mashes them like usual when they’re soft with a couple of tablespoons of butter, some milk, …
Lazy Person Enchiladas
This is a great recipe when you are really really busy and/or really really lazy. Or you’re a writer and spent most of your day in la la land and are having a difficult time coming down to earth. It’s modified from the fabulous Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. Preheat oven to 400. …
