I think I'll eat this for as long as I can keep getting pomegranate seeds.

Roasted endives with some olive oil, walnuts and the pomegranate seeds were added at the end. Probably will add salt and pepper, too.


Nature's being naturey!

Today there was a celebration of life for a poet and mentor and teacher who passed away so unexpectedly this month.

"Amble in the Woods"

Because some people read poems he wrote about acorns, I decided I wanted to make something with acorn flour. I still need to do this. I have the acorn flour and the ingredients for the recipe I want to make. I always thought I would make it in the Autumn for Thanksgiving, but maybe it's good to have in the Spring. Our teacher's wife said he would love it if everyone committed a radical act of wonder. Right after the end of a zoom call something told me to go open the front door and I found a package. 

The star necklace came!

I never order jewelry but this was a piece I kept thinking about; I really wanted to order it, so I did.

It's beautiful! 

" A radical act of wonder, " I thought to myself.

Also, it's cool because when I visit that blog I can see a video of Quaker Lake, and I had decided to read one of the poems about Quaker Lake from his book. So I'm going to go watch that video now.

Another radical act of wonder!

"Quaker Lake in January"

I watched it while I was eating, and the roasted walnuts and pomegranate and endive with salt and pepper and also some tiny roasted zucchinis taste so delicious! Also, I shared some of my veggies with a harder working person who's eating a microwaved burrito in front of the computer in the other room. I'm pleased to be able to contribute roasted veggies to somebody's life!
