rae&ella: July 2014

http://www.raeandella.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Clothing and accent pieces. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I've spent the beginning of this week doing a little exploring, since it's been a little more gloomy it's a bit less scorching. I spent a little bit of time having breakfast, shopping, and getting dessert in Old Town Monrovia, and Sierra Madre. Prior to dessert, we had a later breakfast at The Peach Cafe. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. These are just a few things hanging above my desk. The chalkboard was a birthday gift I got last year from G. Before we went...

A Thinking Stomach: April 2015

http://www.athinkingstomach.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 10, 2015. That's an essential part of who I am. Ten years ago, it wasn't, but with each year since then, it has become more and more part of me. I make bread. So, Julia is no longer Julia and needs a rechristening. It needs a name worthy of its ability to change and improve, relinquishing the old and making room for the new. Suggestions?

A Thinking Stomach: May 2015

http://www.athinkingstomach.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 18, 2015. I think I'm going to haunt Filoli. S orchard. I'm going to move into the leaning trellis webbed with hanging gourd birdhouses, make a mattress of tufted grasses, and fall asleep with whatever critters also feel comfortable there. While the grand house of the estate is wonderful, and the manicured formal gardens, so carefully pruned and color-coordinated, are models of a tightly controlled garden vision, it's the fruit trees where I want to be.

A Thinking Stomach: Oxalis

http://www.athinkingstomach.com/2014/02/oxalis.html

Sunday, February 09, 2014. When people complain about oxalis invading lawns, usually they're whining about Oxalis corniculata. Creeping Woodsorrel, a vigorously crawling, low growing plant covered with tiny yellow flowers that eventually turn into explosive seed pods, scattering more creepers every direction. Others complain about the South African weed that covers California hillsides in the late winter— Oxalis pes-caprae. In another part of the bed, Oxalis tetraphylla. Var "Iron Cross" grows, with larg...

A Thinking Stomach: Oxalis Redux

http://www.athinkingstomach.com/2015/02/oxalis-redux.html

Friday, February 06, 2015. One plant I keep coming back to over and over, especially since our move north, is oxalis. I've written about this genus before. And how I love its ease as a garden bulb, the way it provides textural foliage interest and satiny color when it blooms, the way some species of it persevere in dry, alkaline soil. The natural beauty that sustained him in times of pensive solitude. Experienced gardeners say that it is unlikely you will ever get rid of Cape oxalis completely. In fa...

A Thinking Stomach: Soul Food

http://www.athinkingstomach.com/2015/02/soul-food.html

Wednesday, February 11, 2015. There are many problems with the book The Telling Room. By Michael Paterniti, but there are many greatnesses as well. One such is this, a snippet of philosophy the main character Ambrosio shares that the author tucks away in a footnote:. Not his wine. I take a swig of it, of him. No better description of you, dear Christina. I found the footnotes a major distraction, but overall, its a ripping yarn. Guzmán and the cheese wars reminded me of something from Pagnol.
