Here marks the end of an exciting week honoring the beautiful clementine! And to do so, I’ve got a little story I’d like to share with you.

Interesting things happen when we don’t expect them to, and it is during those moments when I am in awe at how the universe works. We all have bad days, and I was having one about two weeks ago when I inadvertently broke the tip off of a VERY expensive kitchen knife. I was beside myself, but instead of simultaneously falling into a dark pit of despair and exploding with rage, I decided to go for a walk.

I strolled up Collins Avenue here in Miami Beach for 20 blocks before I decided to return home. On my way back to the scene of the crime, I stopped by my local supermarket with no real agenda. Whenever I’m not sure about what I’m…

For years I was challenged when it came to making biscuits or scones then I found this recipe on Food52. These scones are absolutely delicious, no one and I mean no one makes scones like my friend Liz Larkin, the Scone Lady of Pound Ridge. I adapted her brilliant recipe for Royal Wedding Scones, using cranberry and orange rather than blueberries.

I had the opportunity of meeting the mom of one of my dearest friends for the first time back in 2014. She flew from Texas to New York to visit her son Richard and his husband Garrett for the first time since they married that Summer. She spent Thanksgiving with them and to our delight, she accompanied her son and his husband to our Friendsgiving celebration that following Saturday evening.

It was the first and only Thanksgiving my husband and I celebrated in Fairfield, Connecticut before we sold our house and moved down here to Miami Beach. That holiday, my husband manned the kitchen, producing a southern feast for 30 that rivaled any dinner I had ever eaten, while I tapped into a hidden love and happily played bartender.

Knowing that my friend’s mom was coming to our house for the very first time, I wanted to welcome her with…

I'd always been that kid who loved animals; I was the neighborhood dogsitter, and I had checked out every book on … Continue reading Nature Spirituality From the Ground Up: Exploring the Totemic Ecosystem
