Food, Photography & Fun
Once upon a time when organic, free-thinking humans were banned from places like concert halls, they made their own concerts in their own halls… Sometimes those halls looked more like fields in the middle of nowhere. After almost two years of no events to practice for, I suddenly had the opportunity to accompany the infamous …
I’ve been working as a Virtual Assistant for Dawn from The Minimal Mom since April 2020. She is one of the kindest and most generous humans I know, and always sends me a package for Christmas and birthdays with thoughtful gifts. But since she’s a minimalist, and gifts are not her love language, I don’t …
This is my quick and easy go-to meal that’s delicious and makes enough that I only have to cook once a week! Yeah, it gets boring, but whatever, it’s good 🙂 Cook 1/2 cup brown rice in 1 cup water. You know how to make rice, I don’t have to spell it out. Then in …
What do you do with all that rhubarb? I’m sure there are a lot of options, but about the only thing I ever use it for is muffins. I mean, why try to fix a good thing?? This gluten-free muffin recipe is my go-to standard for almost any kind of fruit muffin — you can …
You know those people who do wildly ambitious things like biking or running or walking across the country? Why doesn’t someone cartwheel across the country…. somebody like me?!?

Back in May 2020, it seemed like all the musicians would couldn’t play at concerts anymore were performing online, so I wanted to record something too, just for fun. The only trouble is I’m an accompanist now and haven’t performed or practiced solo repertoire for well over a decade. So I pulled out the old …
With all the talk of potential food shortages these days, a lot of people seem to be talking about gardening this year. But what if you only have a small yard, or no yard at all? There are so many things you can grow right in your home that allow you to have fresh, nutritious …
I’ve always been a bit nuts about cats. I had MANY cats growing up (along with birds, fish, a rabbit and a raccoon!). I went through a phase where I managed to make every school project cat-related. And for my 12th birthday, almost everything on my wish list was kitty-something-or-other. Just a wee tad obsessed!?? …
Way back when I was a volunteer, looking after kids in Alberta, part of the daily routine was singing time. Which means I had earworms constantly. After several months of Father Abraham being ever-present in my brain, I sat down one day and wrote this entire arrangement in one day. It just sorta came out. …
