Almost completely

Hi again! I'm still having trouble with the old version of this site appearing in the feeds. I'm working on it, and I appreciate all of your patience. There's a new post, and to keep all the conversation in one place, I hope you don't mind if I point you in the direction of the redesigned site. Tha...

Pretty happy

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Apr 19, 2010, 11:09 am
To change this place was not something I found easy. I can be a homebody to a devoted degree, and had little inclination to renovate a space I considered a home into something altogether unfamiliar. But then an external push came that necessitated a move, and in that not-so-gentle nudge I found the...

Ebb and flow

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Apr 9, 2010, 3:34 pm
The days of these weeks have washed over us like waves; we've been carried on their highs and lows, along their ebb and flow. We've followed the constant movement of the current, and kept our heads above water. Buoyed by a raft of bread, no doubt. That last bit was probably only funny to members of ...

Shades of sunbeam

It was Tuesday's dusk; the sun was on its way but hadn't quite left, and the night was at the door. That's when the rain arrived. Those last few glimmers of day hung in the wet air, and turned the...

My exact favourite

I was granted the gift of a decent ability to remember things. My capacity for recall has served me well enough; through years of English Lit exams, countless passwords and PINs, phone numbers...

Snow globe

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Mar 3, 2010, 10:44 am
Most often an optimist, my moments of pessimism sometimes pay off. Last week, not even an hour after we talked about melting snow and bare earth, it snowed. I just knew that would happen. That night, we shoveled the driveway. Then, starting two days later, it snowed for three days straight. We cl...

Filled with possibility

In the woods I can see from my window, the ground looks patchwork brown and white; an Appaloosa's coat imposed onto the landscape. Much of the snow remains, but in those places where it has gone,...

The nicest thing

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Feb 11, 2010, 9:24 pm
One morning last weekend, Saturday morning to be exact, some unexpected news changed our plans for the day. It was nothing thing earth-shatteringly important, only an errand that would take us away from what we'd planned to do, and where we'd planned to do it. The agenda was tinkered and 20 minutes...

As always

In the minutes and hours after the earthquake ravaged Haiti on January 12, 2010, it was nearly impossible to make sense of things. It was impossible to grasp the scope of the devastation, the...

Trusty as trusted

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Jan 28, 2010, 1:16 pm
In many ways, my world is a small one. It isn't great or grand or glamorous, really. Most days I wear a familiar routine, worn in places from use, and I think it suits me well. I have an...

In equal measure

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Jan 21, 2010, 1:03 pm
I've stopped in with some chickpeas today, along with a recipe that has me acting like a crazy person. How so? Well, let's read the ingredients. You will surely recognize the usual suspects, robust olive oil, our old friend garlic, aromatic leeks and of course the chickpeas. Then there's twangy lemo...

Ready and witty

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Jan 14, 2010, 8:17 pm
It just so happens that two people, especially important people to me, are far away right now. One will be back soon enough, soon I'll be able to count down to their arrival on the fingers to one hand. But the other, well, for her return I would have to count all my fingers and my all toes many time...

Happily. Handily.

Date squares. Or do you call them bars? By whatever name, they were not a product of my childhood kitchen. My earliest association with these fruit-stuffed cookie sandwiches was elementary school...

Particular charm

From soup to nuts, from turkey to trifles, we are done. With family both near and only slightly-far, the Christmas holiday stretched over a number of days, our merry band of revelers moving from...

A humdinger

tara posted an article on Seven Spoons - Dec 18, 2009, 11:32 am
Hello my dears, will you do me a favour? Preheat your oven to 400°F. While you're at it, start slicing some leeks while we catch up. I was feeling pretty good about my preparedness for the coming holiday season this whole year-end business, that is, I was until a friend sweetly pointed out that as ...
