The blooming daffodils got a coating of snow this week in an early Spring cold snap. Such juxtapositions had me breaking out the camera. And the doves looking for a seed handout… Happy Spring!

I am enchanted by chubby male cardinals in the winter. I can photo-stalk them for hours. Though my camera insists on trying to focus on the falling snowflakes, I got a few good shots.

Walking into a sunrise like this on my way to work does all kinds of things to perspective and priorities. And it makes me later than usual. What is better than a pressed, warm sandwich with your favorite morning foods within… in your hand and on the way up to Read more…

Beautiful snow striations. Winter’s last word. Dumpling peaks. Blackstrap yolk. Who dun it? M.O.B.‘s California burger in Brooklyn. Carrot poker chips.

The Canon G9X reminds me of my grandfather’s old camera, especially in this nifty case. It’s a great camera, but there’s no viewfinder… which kind of kills the whole nostalgic feel of it. But it sure takes a pretty picture. Another go at the Sprinkles red velvet for a work Read more…

Another school recess has started! So I must clear my plate for new offerings and doings. 2016 is moving fast. Let’s stop and look for a moment. Green means go. Flat iron.

2016 is 1/12 complete. January is new routines inside old comforts, like the best vegan chocolate chip cookies: your own. It’s taking care… with a Long Island rec. center membership bonus: nobody in the sauna with you. It is having fire with the snow… with tempeh. It’s inspiration from the ground; the potato plays nicely Read more…

And BOOM, it’s mid-February. 2014 has been exhausting thus far. Partly because I work in a field that has been changing since I entered it. The cyclical lulls of ebb and flow that most jobs have don’t exist in teaching. New York City teachers have to be in constant motion. Read more…

What a delight to get a snow day on what would be my second day back at school! While we were snowed in, I took care of business. Like making a hearty breakfast: vegan French toast! Nevermind running out to the grocery store to pick up milk and eggs before Read more…

The “Blizzard of 2013” came and left us with a covering of cotton white. In moon boots and pajamas, I checked it out. Vitamix fun: white bean artichoke cilantro pestoAnd fool-proof roasted Brussels. So delicious! Beets two ways. Veggie-Go’s fruit leather. (Best. 15 calories. Ever.)Roasted beets. I drooled on my Read more…

My buddy and I woke up to the chime of my phone. 10 minutes before I received the NYC Alert text, The Electrician delivered the sweet, sweet news of the snow day. I texted the other 5th grade teachers and went back to bed, lulled by the exclamations of the Read more…

Mounds of snow. Main road. Smooth white waves. Going for a walk.

This winter broke New York City’s 114-year snowfall record, leaving me with 2, yes 2, snow days. But pay no mind to Punxsutawney Phil’s shadow or the Sonny & Cher on your clock radio because a taste of Spring came early. The coming of Spring is always exciting in the Read more…

I always thought the past tense of snow ought to be snew. Anyway, New York got hit with its first layer of winter snow this weekend. (Quick aside: Snow makes everyone completely mad; have you ever noticed this?) Venturing out for brunch at Bone Shakers, I got to enjoy the Read more…
