In a Northern Kitchen: The Scent of Home
http://inanorthernkitchen.blogspot.com/2011/12/scent-of-home.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. The Scent of Home. A potted herb garden. A few days ago, a Wednesday in December, I went to Lowe's outdoor garden center and bought herbs and flowers, tucked them into pots and set them outside onto the little patio area next to our RV; parked for the winter in Palm Springs, California. I marvel still at this flagrant display of disregard for winter, though the calendar confirms the date. A ball carefully placed by Maggie for my notice. Mystical sounding name 'dragon's wort'.

In a Northern Kitchen: Shooting Stars
http://inanorthernkitchen.blogspot.com/2013/08/shooting-stars_10.html
Saturday, August 10, 2013. Living in the Woods. I love August in the northern woods. This time of year, one can literally smell the change of seasons in the night air. Already gone are the too-hot nights of July when I throw my windows open and beg for a breeze off the lake to cool my bare skin as I sleep, fan humming overhead. The air tonight is heavy and damp with the scent of white pine. It’s as if I can’t breathe in deeply enough. Minnesota's State Bird, the Common Loon. Each year at this time, the P...

Thursday, December 1, 2011. When Life Gives You Lemons. Fresh citrus seems decadent to my Midwestern eyes. Just a dusting of snow so far. Sampling oranges at the Farmers Market. A Lisbon Lemon tree, heavy with fruit. Here in Palm Springs, citrus trees grow in nearly every yard, their branches holding the bright orange, green and yellow globes over the ubiquitous concrete walls that separate each small housing development. My Midwestern eyes can hardly believe the sight of grapefruit trees. Seriou...In th...

In a Northern Kitchen: October 2012
http://inanorthernkitchen.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 14, 2012. Warmed, Heart and Soul. There was a great deal of family lore about Ireland as I grew up. My father’s family claims some Irish ancestry but my mother’s side is the real source of the green in our blood. We grew up listening to the Clancy Brothers, The Chieftans and the Dubliners and passed on that tradition to our kids; who more often now are listening to The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly but, Irish is Irish. You will never believe what that pot of gold at the.

In a Northern Kitchen: December 2010
http://inanorthernkitchen.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Because the Monday following Christmas is Boxing Day in the UK, I thought it appropriate to post this particular piece this week. It was a recurring theme throughout my childhood: boxing up homemade baked goods, magazines and assorted ‘you-can’t-get-that-over-here’ requests from my brothers in the military. If you could get a passport stamp for every country mailed to, my mom would surely be receiving medals and accolades from the Explorers Club. We waited confidently for conf...

In a Northern Kitchen: February 2011
http://inanorthernkitchen.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. After vacationing in Palm Springs in the dead of winter, returning to below zero weather seems somehow exaggerated. The cold is colder, my coat seems bulkier and my once shiny tropical colored pedicure is now dull. I confess that I was awestruck by the palm trees, colorful citrus trees hanging heavy with fruit in nearly everyone's yard and the overall opulence that is California. De on Moroccan Date and Apricot stuffed Chicken Breasts. 1 c low sodium Chicken Stock. Lay out the ...

In a Northern Kitchen: November 2011
http://inanorthernkitchen.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. As I went through the house one more time, seeking out forgotten items in upstairs closets, I placed them in one of three carefully categorized piles: Pack for storage, give it to family and friends or donate to charity. My life has changed. Mount McKinley, Alaska. At Bandelier National Monument, NM. Pointing us west in Arizona. Becker Winery near Fredericksburg, Texas. Outstanding. Hiking in Indian Canyons, Palm Springs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Farm on St. Mathias.
