Churning it Out

Chugging along
Changing the feel of summer, near gone
Finding time, finally, to finish some thoughts

Day to day: lived the same simple way
But happy to be just so briefly free.
Well, free, if not for that small friend in me
Whispering words of cruel intentions
Every day less, but never distant.


Well, troubles abound
I still see the way to be me.

A week of things learned
A week of friends earned
No - found

Long days concluded with hot oven
Fresh food
Quietude found.


 Some Noshing, in order of its naming
- That Sourdough Light Rye, above, to perfect

-These Refrigerator Pickles, simple, still pickling

So simple, this pickle:

1 Cucumber, 2 Carrots, 3 Tablespoons of Rice Wine Vinegar

Some Basil, Cilantro, Pepper and salt

Topped off with water

Good things do start...

-Finally, well poached egg atop that bread

Some Kimchi and corn, sauteed with Chicken Sausage

Salad warm...
