A New Kitchen Tool – twosimplelives
https://twosimplelives.wordpress.com/2016/11/26/a-new-kitchen-tool
Living simply and mindfully in middle life. A New Kitchen Tool. November 26, 2016. I bought a mortar and pestle today, a kitchen tool I’ve done without for thirty-five years. As I have a general policy of not buying things, why did I make an exception for this? In another few days, I’ll bring them up to the kitchen, and strip the leaves off the stems prior to storing in glass jars. Some of them the rosemary in particular I will later grind.

February 21, 2016. Oh gosh, I somehow gained several followers in my absence…. Hey readers; I am in a new stage of life, so there will be a longer post about that sometime soon. I don’t know if I’m going to be returning to blogging more often, but I’d like to, so I was thinking to expand what I write about. It will still include minimalism, but I’ll probably talk about other things, too. Maybe yoga? Occasional cool science stuff? But not /too/ personal. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Skip to primary navigation. 55,934 / $248,383. Money Is For Freedom. Why You’ll Never Be Rich. How to See Abundance Everywhere While Living Frugally. January 17, 2016. Sunset on the Lower Colorado River. We lived out of tiny boats for 4 days, slept in sleeping bags on sand or rocks, and were far happier than usual. Abundance is everywhere. So that we can. Eking out a living. That narrative is a bunch of garbage. *. Start By Practicing Just a Little Gratitude. Playing tag and soccer with my son at the par...

Can Cats be Trained? – twosimplelives

Living simply and mindfully in middle life. Can Cats be Trained? August 1, 2016. August 1, 2016. Apparently, it is possible to train a cat, according an article in. And of course, I know it’s possible, having seen enough movies and tv shows with cats who do what they’re supposed to (or is it all ad libbed, once the cat is in front of the camera? So I read the article. And spotted several problems, at least in the application of the techniques to our two moggies. Noses turned. How do humans eat that?

Living simply and mindfully in middle life. November 18, 2016. I have written before about how two of my favourite kitchen tools are my slow cooker and my stick blender, but the two together are proving to be indispensable. And if it’s a soup-for-supper day, then I just double everything so there’s enough for us both. Soup-for-supper is served with an amazingly easy focaccia bread. I’ll post that recipe another day!

Living simply and mindfully in middle life. July 3, 2016. One of the many attractive features of moving back to town was the opportunity to bike everywhere: to the farmer’s market, to the grocery store, to the library. This city has a wonderful mixed-use trail network plus a lot of bike lanes, and, for the most part, drivers, used to hordes of university students on bikes, are watchful for and respectful of bikes. Carrot/orange juice, and considered my ride home. Share this with your friends:. Follow two...

Being in clutter maintenance mode is different than being in the midsts of a giant clutter purge.

Grilling Experiment – Purple Sweatpants
https://purplesweatpants.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/grilling-experiment
Just another personal finance blog. July 27, 2016. January 27, 2017. Over the past few months I’ve become super interested in city planning. I never realized how much thought goes into planning a city and how those thoughts and actions have a huge impact on the well-being of the people. I didn’t know that a poorly planned city will keep its citizens disconnected and stifle the economy and that a well planned city can foster community and economic growth. To an interview he did with Chuck. But all this st...

The Studio Tour – twosimplelives
https://twosimplelives.wordpress.com/2016/10/15/the-studio-tour
Living simply and mindfully in middle life. October 15, 2016. Old buildings, for the most part, because those are where artists can afford space. An outbuilding in a courtyard behind stores, down what looks like a driveway. The door opens into a low, rectangular space, old windows at ceiling heights, plank walls painted white, holding the paintings. What was this building, originally? All my office would show you is my laptop, a few reference books, and a plot outline taped to the wall. Follow twosimplel...

Living simply and mindfully in middle life. In the summer of 2014, serious illness became part of our reality – ‘our’ being my husband and myself. Two years later, the illness remains in abeyance, and we are enjoying life – but a much simpler life, as we both chose to take early retirement, a move which reduced our income by nearly 60%. Marian L. Thorpe is a writer, birder, and artist from Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Author of the young adult novel Empire’s Daughter. And an urban fantasy chapbook Spinnings.
