All rose hips are edible. When I started taking up foraging, I grew to love simple and blanketing rules like those. All grasses are edible. Never eat what’s growing on dead wood. Foraging for rose hips was a great thing to do after the frost when the hips are soft and sweet. The snow had crisped these perfectly into a sticky sweet mess. Continue reading

This month’s Turntable Kitchen Pairings Box would have been great for the dead of winter! Luckily for me, it’s been 60 and sunny and seems like an early Spring.
One of my favorite things about subscription service Turntable Kitchen is access to all of the music and mixtapes online since you’ve been a subscriber. I can access all the curated mixes and download zipfiles so I can enjoy this great music all the time. Matthew, the music editor of Turntable Kitchen does a fantastic job of finding music that pairs perfectly with an evening of fine dining, or just for putting you in a great mood. Continue reading

Recently, after returning home to Pullman, I went to visit a friend I had left in the forest almost 2 years ago.
This little dreamcatcher held positive energy in the forest the whole time I was away. Continue reading
My jasmine plant was getting huge and bushy so I decided to give it a pre-Spring haircut. Jasmine plants grow best when left to vine, and my jasmine had never been given a stick or anything to grow on, making it sad and bushy.
We took the Jasmine out of the pot and let its roots breathe. They were strong and healthy, a good sign that the re-potting was needed. Continue reading
Are you looking for more winter items to forage for free and satisfying food? Foraging for wild food is fun and satisfies a primal gathering, human need. Pine needles no longer need to be a hassle in the wintertime. They fall and coat walkways, leaving a slippery mess. Harvest some of the pine needles and make them into a delicious and earthy pine needle vinegar. Continue reading

After seeing tons of viral marketing and hullabaloo about the Dollar Shave Club, I finally decided to try it for myself.
For “A Few Bucks a Month” (options are $3, $6 or $9 a month including shipping,) you get razor refills and sometimes a free sample shipped right to your door. Razors are hard to pick out and easy to forget to purchase, so this seemed like a good idea. The razor needs in our household are very minimal so we chose the $3/month option. Continue reading
