Premium MemberTHE NOTEBOOK

I still see my mother
sitting at the kitchen table
copying out her favorite recipes
from the Women’s Weekly magazine.
With pen in hand,
she’d carefully write the recipe,
word for word in her notebook.
There are hundreds that
she collected over the decades.
That notebook, with its dog-eared pages,
crusty stains and side notes,
is now in my hands.
The thing is, I don’t cook—
my other

Premium MemberA Confession of Recipes

If you're reading this, honey 
it means the diner is burning,

It's not a typo or a misprint,
but a message:

Witches are wisdom-embedded
women who have seen worse things
than the business end of a newt's behind

I once made a man cry with desire
on a whim by telling him who he was
at twenty-five, I hadn't yet realized

it's really just

cosi potrei essere depresso e tutto solo

Premium MemberGrandma's Recipe

I picked up Grandma’s recipe book the other day…the one she made just for me…written in her own hand and filled with my favorite recipes.

On the first page of my cookbook…these words…always waiting for me…
‘It’s easy to be a good cook’ she wrote, ‘just follow the recipe!’

As I leafed through the pages in Grandma’s recipe

Premium MemberGrandma's Recipes

They’ve all saved Grandma’s recipes…some they know by heart…many in a copy of the book she wrote them in…for it is often amidst her recipes…where memories of her begin.

Whenever they read her handwriting…sort through her ingredients…turn on a mixer…pick up a knife…whenever they bake what Grandma baked…it brings her back to life.

I can never have enough I always need more.

Is There Any Chocolate Bars Out There Recipes Needed

Is There Any Chocolate Bars Out There – Recipes Needed 

All the planets are just too far
For me to drive there in my car
I therefore can’t go there to explore
To see if they have chocolate bars

But wouldn’t it be so much fun
To Snickers to them up there some 
My deep fried choco bars
Which we agree

Granny's Recipes

From fruit scones, to meat pie,
Apple crumble and coffee cake,
Sunday tea was amazing,
Because, my Granny sure could bake.
Secret ingredients, she wouldn't divulge,
Passed down from years gone by,
When I look back on those days,
It brings a tear to my eye.
From butterfly buns, to Victoria sponge,
A moist fruit loaf, filled with flavour,
Jam tarts and gingerbread men,
For the

Premium MemberSummer Recipes For Disaster Planning

Caffeine distracts lethargy of wine
as wine attracts simplicity
refining caffeine's dark dualistic depths.

Some substitute weed for wine.

Others mix these all together,
serve over sturdy blocks of ice
refusing to unmelt choices
and hope for Time's most generous best.

Serving more than one.

Premium MemberSoulFood Recipes for Peace

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best PeaceMaking practices,
to which I will add one 
more democratically inclusive,
less autonomously exclusive.

"The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without [divine] souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all [trauma-informed] belief systems.

The Resonators
agreed that soul [peace] isn't innate,
but
