Barren Illusion
"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched." - Henry David Thoreau

Feeling domestic
domingo, 28 de febrero, 2010
I felt like baking for some reason, so I've been working my oven all weekend.

On Friday night, I made some oatmeal raisin walnut cookies from scratch. They were good; the walnuts tasted weird, but at least it was more consolidated and palatable than Mrs Fields' cookies where each one is individually wrapped, apparently, to preserve its fresh and soft cow-pie consistency, which immediately crumbles when unwrapped in natural light and being breathed upon by human breath.


How to make your very own cow pie

On Saturday night, I fired it up again to make something I know very well how to make: cornbread. It's so good straight out of the oven, because it's soft and warm (but not cow-pie soft and warm), but I love eating it drenched in milk also, when it starts to get a bit stale (which is like, right when it cools).

Tonight, I felt like roasted potatoes (not baking... but whatever), so I looked up the recipe online, threw in some garlic cloves and some tiny, whole onions I had lying in a dark paper bag and unf. Crispy skin, soft fluffy innards. They're so good, I can't stop eating them. I MUST STOP. I'm trying to save them for lunch tomorrow!

re:
Hahaha, that's what I had a feeling it was :P.
It actually made me laugh though- the first time I read it.

I LOVE CORNBREAD.

That sounds so good! I wish cooking was what being domestic was for me still. Once upon a time it was but now being domestic mostly involves chasing a baby, puppy and kitten and cleaning up whatever they get into lol. I do randomly cook but only if we have to eat. If you like baking so much I could give you all kinds of old southern recipes (and other ones, those are just my cool unique-ish ones lol).

fried potatoes are SO good!
The soft, crumbly, "cowpie" consistency are my favorite for store-bought, pre-packaged cookies. mmmmm
