Quiet Please

My friend Paul (not husband Paul) posted a tweet about The Joy of Quiet a few weeks ago, an article in the New York Times about a modern return to silence.  I haven't been able to shake the resonance with pretty much everything in the article.  Serves as a little cosmic nudge as I'm headed for another 10-day in March. Just sharin'.  It's worth a read.

I'm realizing that I've checked out on a lot of different things the last few years.  Completely blocked entire ideas, people and concerns.  I think I'm ready to check back in.  More soon.

Stray Cat Thanksgiving vol. 8 (I think)

A long, lovely day of cooking-from-scratch so far....

chocolate angel pie
pumpkin pie
savory butternut squash pies with hazelnuts
citrus salad
homemade bread
almonds and green beans
quinoa and roasted corn and feta
yummy cheese and fancy pants crackers

I'm thankful for friends and amazing food. My gosh, we know how to cook. I hope I don't leave the house all day.
