Today is Food Not Bombs’ 35th birthday.  We’re supposed to have a cake.  Friends are coming to play music.  It’s raining a little this morning.  I hope it’s done. I’ve been writing poems–it feels good–and listening to music a lot.  Maybe those two go hand in hand. We’re bringing a table and a battery and… Read More »

Today we had friends over for lunch.  I made vegan garlic lover’s pasta, roasted beets, and collard greens.  Ming helped. We ate then Ming made coffee.  They were here for three hours.  We had good conversations.  I feel happy.

This morning, we picked beets then followed the sound of happy voices to the pluots, which are so delicious.  The happy pickers told us to go for the reddish ones. Now Ming’s waiting for R to be done with court so they can go to the goddess temple and pick up tent poles to recycle.… Read More »

I made ramen noodles with green onions, sesame vinaigrette, black pepper,… Read More »

Yesterday afternoon Ming went to a vegan sushi making class (raw too–they use sprouted quinoa for the rice) and I went to the library.  I hung out for an hour then went to this taiko concert.  It was wonderful.  First the taiko kids performed.  Then the grown ups. I was comfortable, but then people came… Read More »
