Turkey Chili
Nov 23, 2011
Mmmmm, big bird. I’ll be like you tomorrow–plumped up, sleepy, sedated…
I’ll have wine running through my veins, though, and tryptophan. I’ll listen to the 49ers and Ravens concuss each other, and I’ll be only half conscious. I’ll fall asleep, finally, on the couch, in my in-laws living room.
Imagine! Falling asleep too stuffed and boozy to [...]
Late Fall, Vermont.

Zucchini persists, a happy constant.
Life is changing a lot–unlike my friends in Texas, who have endured nearly three months of 100+ temperatures, I can feel the fall moving into North Country. It starts with a subtle gust of cooler wind, whirling at my feet. I hear a few more crows cry, and the smell in [...]
