Senses

Filed under: Life,Pittsburghian — Tags: , , — michele james-parham @ 9:18 pm

Smell: Cold, sunny Winter’s day, Dr. Bronner’s and a well loved sweater-coat

Touch: Smooth new keyboard & cold hardwood floors

Taste: Burt’s Bees lip balm, orange juice and crackers

See: Dancing sunlight, tired eyes and a smiling boy

Hear: Ambiguous Netflix, my heart aching and a grumbling tummy

Say: “I love you”, “What’s that about?” and “Is this really not over?”

Eat: Vegan mac n cheeze, crackers and hot tea

Notice: Discrepancies in dates – a certain lateness

Emote: Anguish, Fear and Love

Love: Sunlight on my hair, warm mugs of tea, a feeling of ‘fullness’ and the noise of a happy child

Dislike: Feeling helpless/trapped, animals dying in mass numbers and my gallbladder being bitchy again

In other news: Co-op on Northside? Yes, please.

Kindergarten, Here I come (not)

It’s happening…again. So, again, I challenge The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh to rethink their “Kindergarten Here I come” event and message to the community.

3rd CSA of 2010

Filed under: Grub,Photographs — Tags: , , , , , , , — michele james-parham @ 4:46 pm

So, this was today (week three) of our CSA from Penn’s Corner

2010CSA-3

Third CSA Share (21 more to go)

Garlic Scapes
Radicchio
Patty Pan Squash
Red Romain
Strawberries
Snow Peas
Green Head Lettuce
Celery
Thyme
Scallions

Also*
Turnips w/ Greens
Bag of Salad Mix
12+ Baby Carrots w/ Greens
Arrowhead Cabbage
Broccoli
Mystery Greens (I believe they are young Collard Greens)

* some of those listed under ‘Also’ were substituted in place of the half dozen eggs that non-vegan shares get AND apparently, after making a complaint about my bag of salad mix from last week being sub-par, I got a lot of things to replace them and to make up for them being crappy. PCFA gets my vote so far for Best Pittsburgh CSA!
