Sun flooding as well as area, get started our own treat documents, the key allergens floating around, the key pre-installed grey within your children’s innovator. It’s learning dawn and it’s also freezing, and huddled the body from us all for character as well as delaying. No one wants off the bed. And then, always, you [...]
Marathon
When Ben was two months old, Michael walked out on us. To attend a philosophy conference. For three days. But still. I prepared meticulously for this abandonment, stewing up an enormous pot of meat and vegetables, stocking up on diapers and beer and Good N Plenty, laundering nursing pads and swaddling blankets, washing my own straggly, [...]
It’s Not Good-bye — It’s Bon Appetit!
It’s what they call one of those days. It is. Everything is fine, and nothing is, and I have an image of myself as the mother sitting with her children in a sunny room, everyone working peacefully on a quiet little sewing project, a quiet little pencil drawing, and sometimes my life is just like that, [...]

We’re sitting in a booth at the ice cream shop, and Ben’s talking over his Bada Bing cherry-chocolate cup about how he wishes he had a magic pencil, the kind where everything you drew would become real, like Harold with his purple crayon. Ben’s face is animated with possibility and greed. “First I’d draw a [...]
Sparkling Cranberry Centerpiece

I wouldn’t typically make them in mid-November, for no reason, but I wanted you to have this recipe before the holidays, so you could plan accordingly: they make the most perfectly beautiful holiday centerpiece–especially if there [...]
Jalapeno-Cheddar Potato Fritters
If you are like me, then you are still, even today (Monday), negotiating Thanksgiving leftovers. There are the easy ones, and they go fast: for instance, the stuffing, if there is any, which I eat for breakfast the morning after; also whatever is left of the turkey’s highly accessible breast, which gets sliced up for [...]
Bedfellows
I have nearly all of my best conversations in bed. Not with friends as a rule – unless we’re lucky enough to have captured someone in the house for a sleepover. Usually friendship conversations happen now in deeply condensed bursts, and although I miss the languorous chitchat of pre-kid days, I treasure the way intimacy [...]
Headlong into Spring (i.e. Asparagus with Brown Butter Sauce)
The kids are thawing out outside in the thaw, riding their bikes around and around the dirt-breaded mounds of snow like they’ve emerged from hibernation with a craving for nothing but air. There are many things I miss during the long winter months–the dear sight of their arms and legs, for instance, or the way [...]
