My Utopia and the Time Machine
I am in the French language class again. We read samples of Utopias. Our teacher asks us to write how our own Utopia would look like. I spend a week confused not knowing how my Utopia would look like. In the last moments before the class is held again and we are ought to present our Utopias I write fast my Utopia. It is a village. Agricultural. People travel by the speed of light. And they had a time machine. They can go back in time.Ideas not so well linked. Explanations not perfectly given. The time for our class ends. I go walking and thinking why exactly I thought of Time Machine! Is that really Utopic to me?The ...

Putting Up Irene & Rita’s Fresh Summer Tomato Sauce
Ever since I first saw Mrs Frake putting up pickles and mincemeat in the movie State Fair, I’ve wanted to put up something.
As opposed to putting up with something, which basically describes my life.
I did once put up a few small jars of blackberry jam with the kids while vacationing on Block Island. We tried to sell the jam at the playground – I think someone bought one jar – then used the rest of the jars pretty much immediately. And that was the end of my putting up.
Until this week, when I was faced with forty pounds of South Jersey Roma tomatoes (Thanks Patty!) a few days after meeting blogger Mari...

Appetizers for Summer Book Club
As much as I love book club, I love hosting it even more. Because hosting means I get to leave work early and do my favorite thing in the whole world – spend the late afternoon in my kitchen. I’m rarely at home at that time of day, when something wonderful happens to the light in our apartment as the sun begins to peek out from behind the tall apartment towers just south of us, and pours into my kitchen. Add in NPR or a good book on tape and I’m in heaven.
The evening promised good weather, so we planned to meet on the roof. I took my cue for the menu from the book we were discussing – “...

Easy Weeknight Marinades Done Right
I recently partnered up with the brand folks at Mazola Corn Oil to create this fun recipe for marinated grilled Tilapia with kiwifruit served over coleslaw. Mazola Corn Oil has more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils, and can play an important role in lowering your cholesterol. It is a great source of healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Its mild flavor and high smoke point also make it a fantastic all-purpose oil great for general cooking, baking, grilling, sautéing and stir-frying, and can be used as a butter substitute in certain recipes. It’s also the perfect oil to use ...

Can You Pass the MS Dental Sobriety Test?
After I woke and completed my morning inventory this soft Irish day, I let the Wheatens out for their morning pee, took care of that myself, and then brushed the sleep and the garlic of last night’s Caesar salad from my teeth. It’s a fairly routine thing we do – brushing our teeth – and then again, it isn’t.
Fine and gross motor skills, fatigue, spasm, swallowing issues, even medications can all have an impact on our daily oral hygiene routines and overall dental health with MS.
I know that I don’t brush the way I once did. I don’t floss the same. I don’t even use the same oral hygiene products of my pre- (...

Dyscrazia: A Diagnostic Conundrum Solved.
NEAR CRAZY WOMAN CREEK, WY - Hospitalists in Wyoming have discovered a remarkable illness that has eluded physicians for decades. Dyscrazia, first reported in the Journal Of Throw Away Journals, was coined by Park Ranger and Father of Native American Hospitalist Mountain Medicine, Dr Run Fast Like Bear PR, MD, MPH, FHM, PHD, PQRI, ABIM, CPOE.After years of being terrorized by nonsensical middle-of-the-night patient requests, Dr Bear hypothesized, "We always thought dyscrazia was the only rational medical diagnosis to explain why healthy women with 62 complaints but no actual medical problems would demand an or...

Have some pizza!
I made a full-sized family pizza starting with the Wheat Free Market Wheat Belly Pizza Crust Mix.
The people at Wheat Free Market made the mix according to my recipe for pizza crust. Despite being wheat-free and not using any of the junk carbohydrate ingredients typically used in gluten-free doughs (NO cornstarch, tapioca starch, potato starch, or rice flour), the recipe is designed to yield pizza dough sturdy enough to hold in your hands. And be tasty, of course!
I made a single large family-sized pizza from one package, but one package can also yield two smaller pizzas.
I followed package directions and added 2 eggs, 4 t...
