Tonight’s Menu and Baking are dedicated to
Thanksgiving
Feeling very holiday-ish, as well as very thankful today, I did a little research and was pleased to find Thanksgiving such a long standing tradition in our country- stemming back to its earliest settlers.
The origin of Thanksgiving [...]

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to
Bake Against Violence
I usually don’t bake against something.
But tonight I am.
I am against the convulsive response
That has caused an uncounted anguish.
Uncounted, and only uncountable
Because it’s true measure would overwhelm
Our souls.
The sounds of war drown out the [...]

Dear Community,
I am heartsick.
I feel sadness with no bottom. I feel anger with no place to point it.
I feel the relentless, aching loss of a friend, of a co-worker, and a child of our community.
The events of April 12th, when Declan Lyons was shot while [...]

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to
Out From Under the Wing of Grace ♥
Once I was sheltered
From all but the smallest
Circle of the world.
I threw baseballs
And snowballs,
And kicked stones down dirt roads
Every darkness was broken
By the glimmer of star light.
I lived under [...]

Come Unite
Sunday, June 2, 2-5 PM, Lareau Farm
Violence comes in many guises
I would count them if I could
But it would turn my stomach
All about, and I fear
I would find no end
To its many ways.
It is not, [...]

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to
Terror and Grace
In world capitols, old warriors gather to debate
The definition of terror and how it relates
To their cause and values and aspirations.
They describe themselves in glowing terms
While those they oppose as less than worms.
Hate and greed and [...]

Love + Peace + Harmony + Technology (???) = Flatbread Frenzy
Open the windows, brush off the dust, and put that top down, Spring is here! Every week when I “sparkle” myself up for my weekend shifts, I think how lucky I am to be [...]

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to
Cows Out! Part III
From Part I: I’m for cows out!
Out on the grassy grass,
Out in the sunny sunshine,
Out under a pasture tree
During a summer rain,
Part III: I’m for town meetin’ and democracy.
I’m for the president [...]

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to
My Other Brother
My other brother
Stands alone.
Betrayed, enslaved
Away from home.
My other brother
On broken knees,
Impoverished by
My racist greed.
Unknown, unloved,
Untouched, unheard,
Without country or nest,
Like some wind blown bird.
But now I see
My other brother
By strength of will and faith,
Rise out of the ash of [...]

Tonight’s menu and baking are dedicated to
New Men
I heard of it first by rumor,
Then a call of confirmation:
“Our young men are dying,” she said.
“Dying in a distant reckless war, dying on our streets close to home.”
Dying from hate and misunderstanding by bullets and bombs,
Dying from too [...]
