In Memoriam
Despite an abundance of elaborate recipe shares and various documentations of food experimentation found on this site’s blog (as well as my alternative blog on Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, & other social media profiles), most of the time I actually prefer the sweet simplicity of fresh organic fruit in rudimentary form during the peak of its season. Yesterday, on what would have been my dearly beloved Godfather’s 92nd birthday, I received a lovely surprise whilst enjoying some of life’s...

Happy Spring! I know it’s been ages, and that is mainly because I’ve been on hiatus. Having lived quite simply through the Winter, these days I eat mostly simple fruits and home fermentations whilst focusing my energy on coursework, counselling, and a few other projects. That said, it became rather imperative for me to make a point of arranging something extra special for my Vernal Equinox blog post (you deserve it, and I am so grateful), despite still living in a sort of Luddite bliss with neither a...

In my mind,...

Trick or Treat! Hallowe’en has always been one of my favourite days of the year, especially since dressing up in costumes has always been a “thing” for me since as far back as I can recall. In fact, I can honestly remember only two instances in my lifetime where Hallowe’en has been the opposite of fun, one of which was an entire day spent in a hospital unable to walk & dealing with getting ex-rays on a shattered knee for the majority of the day following a cycling accident which...

This is it! My third and final installment in this tribute series to celebrate harvest season, new moon in Libra, Mum’s appearance day, and also the rapidly approaching two year anniversary of one of my most treasured friendships. Continuing along the bright path of sunflowers & sea vegetables, this post shall incorporate a third and vitally essential element in this ongoing succession of social media & student request fulfillments for simple savoury recipes: Avocados. If you have not done so...
