Domestic Left: April 2011
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Sunday, April 24, 2011. Last Friday was Earth Day, Lenin's 140th birthday. My 38th birthday and, this year, Good Friday. The April 22nd I was actually born on (1973) was Easter Sunday. At that fishing village, we also got our first glimpse of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant. Which sits on an artificial island between Delaware and New Jersey. It dominated our view all the rest of the way along the "Scenic Route," which oddly enough begins...

Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Friday, July 25, 2014. Fitness, Practice, and Social Change. A central component of any change process – personal change or organizational change – is the concept of practice. 8212; Ng’ethe Maina and Staci Haines, The Transformative Power of Practice. In this environment, most of us struggle to maintain two really intense relationships: one with our job (or jobs), and another with our partner and/or immediate family (or spending energy try...

Domestic Left: May 2010
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Monday, May 03, 2010. Short Article About May Day in VT. Although I'm credited as the main author of " May Day Protests Gain Urgency as Immigration, Health Care Fights Explode. Over at Labor Notes. I really only wrote the last bit about Vermont's May Day Healthcare Is a Human Right rally. Still, I guess it's a publication. I posted the best of the pictures H and I took on May Day here.

Domestic Left: Grits with shrimp, lacinato kale and poached eggs
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2013/02/grits-with-shrimp-lacinato-kale-and.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Saturday, February 23, 2013. Grits with shrimp, lacinato kale and poached eggs. This was incredibly delicious, if a bit on the rich side. Looking forward to having the leftovers for breakfast sometime in the next few days. Bring 4 cups of chicken stock 1/4 cup of cream and 1/2 tsp salt to a boil. Heat a bit of oil in a reasonably wide and deep sauté pan with a lid, and sauté your meat and/or shallots for a few minutes. Remove the shrimp fr...

Domestic Left: Practicing our scales
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2012/11/practicing-our-scales.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Sunday, November 11, 2012. I think we need a deeper conversation about how organizers can think of our work as cultural work, and how (left) cultural workers can think of their work as organizing. However, none of this really matters if we can't, as it's often put, "organize to scale." Having been in and around conversations on this question as a staff person at NDWA. A leader and strategist at the Vermont Workers Center. This is not to sa...

Domestic Left: July 2010
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Monday, July 19, 2010. Yesterday while driving across the high plains, I took the kids to visit the Garden of Eden. In Lucas, Kansas. Built in the early decades of the century by one Samuel P. Dinsmoor. It is quite the bit of folk art and well worth seeing if you're driving across the country on I-70. Well, no molds except the occasional beer bottle (this part was made during Prohibition, apparently):. In addition to the political parables...

Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Sunday, February 28, 2010. 1 pie crust (I've been using Nothing in the House's.

Domestic Left: August 2010
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Friday, August 27, 2010. Traveling to the midwest and southwest this summer, we ate at quite a few Mexican restaurants, and I took to ordering not a few chile rellenos. On the theory that when eating in a restaurant, you should order things that you generally don't make at home. A few were amazing — Café Castro. In Santa Fe and El Mezcal. And melted cheese that there were pools of saturated fat everywhere on the plate. Jack cheese, shredded.

Domestic Left: Big Water
http://domesticleft.blogspot.com/2014/07/big-water.html
Irregular diary and recipe book of a left-wing housewife in drag. Tuesday, July 08, 2014. In which my healthy respect for the destructive power of water is reinforced through a terrifying personal experience. Yesterday, I went white-water rafting for the first, and probably last, time. It's not likely something I would have agreed to do, but my dear spouse bid on, and won, four tickets in a silent auction to support Voices for Vermont's Children. So, off to the Maine wilderness we went. And then, of cour...
