Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: May 2014
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Forty Years.and Not Even One. A year ago today it was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. This seemed a particular gift, given the record-setting amount of snow we had gotten in the winter of 2012-2013, snow which had not completely disappeared by the beginning of May. And then it started to rain. The days leading up to May 25. 2014, happened…. A strange coincidence for B. and me is that today is also the 40. So I star...

I, MayB: February 2014
http://imaybshe.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Finding my way on a daily basis. Best of I, MayB. Friday, February 28, 2014. My love affair with books and discovering Jane Eyre: Fiction Friday. Books to the ceiling,. Books to the sky,. My pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I'll have a long beard by the time I read them. Each one of us developed our own personal library early on. Small shelves were erected and quickly filled with treasured copies of Little House on the Prairie. Anne of Green Gables. And old westerns. Th...

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: June 2014
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Friday, June 6, 2014. A week ago my father nearly died. In the middle of the night he had a severe diabetic low. By the time the paramedics got here, he had slipped into unconsciousness. He was as close to death as I have ever seen someone. But in about half an hour, he had moved far enough back from the line separating life and death to be able to speak. And within a few hours of being in the ER at the nearest hospital, he was ab...

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: April 2014
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Last weekend B. and I went with Chris and a couple of other friends of K.B.’s to a burlesque show at a local theatre. K.B. loved dancing of all varieties: Scottish country dancing, belly dancing, ballroom dancing, and, most recently, burlesque. She had started taking classes about a year and a half before she passed away. I kept it together until we got home and went to bed. And then I cried and cried. Some da...

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: August 2014
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Saturday, August 9, 2014. I have been silent on this blog for a couple of months now. The shock of my father’s brush with death seemed to leave me incapable of writing about my other sorrows. Then I was hurled into a new job which demanded much mental and emotional energy in July. 8221; She smiled, but there was no conversation, and there the dream ended. A pleasant illusion, akin to the replaying of a scene from a much-loved movie?

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: The Joy of Tea
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-joy-of-tea.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. The Joy of Tea. For most of my adult life I had been an inveterate coffee drinker. I looked down at tea drinkers for their choice of beverage, which I saw as a thin, insubstantial sort of drink. It was as if they couldn’t handle a true caffeine kick and so settled for something less demanding. So this time a year ago, when K.B.’s future sister-in-law, J., and I were hosting her wedding shower...I knew it would...

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: A Recipe from K.B.: Hudson Baked Beans
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-recipe-from-kb-hudson-baked-beans.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Sunday, May 4, 2014. A Recipe from K.B.: Hudson Baked Beans. I feel that this blog has not been living up to its promise of providing occasional culinary digressions. So today I will provide a recipe created by K.B. People who make miniature models, for instance. Or recreate historic clothing, dying wool they spun themselves, weaving it or knitting it into something using only tools that someone would have had access to in whateve...

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: March 2014
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Sunday, March 30, 2014. KB in Her Own Words: Instant Karma. This time of year when the roads of our fair city are covered with deep ruts of compacted ice and snow, drivers frequently find that their cars get stuck. Most folks passing by do the right thing and stop to help by giving a push. K.B. was famous for always giving a hand. She was there for the weirdness. Why? Of course we could! Not only was she a friend, but this is Saskatch...

Life, Death, and Lemon Curd: February 2014
http://ldlemoncurd.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A blog about loss and friendship, with occasional culinary diversions. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. I’m not ready to take part, though. It’s not that I haven’t felt happiness or peace since January 10. But something stops me from describing these days as “happy days.” I’m not there yet. It may be a while before I am. Monday, February 24, 2014. Jan 30th The Bahamas/Regina. The content of the movie (“Last Vegas,” of all things) did not seem to be the reason; it had barely started, anyway. Is my inability ...
