About

Three and a half years ago I fell in love with Maine while visiting from Los Angeles. It took me a year but I moved to Maine and have never been happier. No one believed I was sane. They may be right.  

What follows are my mad musings on living in Maine, life in general, food, my unsuccessful attempts at knitting, anything else that strikes my fancy, and a few photographs thrown in for visual relief. I must warn you from the get go, I am not by any means a writer, philosopher, chef or photographer so proceed at your own risk.

You can come with me on my slow descent to happiness and comment along the way by subscribing to the feed….or not.

    Eventually. That website, I mean. Meanwhile, Rachel Cantor just forwarded your blog to me. Love Maine, having arrived from the tropical island of Sri Lanka to dwell and engage the mind at Bates and then returning to live in Waterville, Maine for five years before coming to Philly (also a heart song). Good luck with the blog. Those snow pictures warm my heart and I know you can believe it.

    I enjoyed your blog, comments, and recipes…came upon it by accident! I wanted to add something on the black olive tapenade. This has been my favorite quick & easy dip for ten years now, and I usally make it (exactly the same way) but adding about 2-3 T. capers and 1/4 cup Parmasean cheese plus 2-3 T walnuts.(all pretty heart healthy) It is a more typical tapenade I suppose, but delicious! I also make the same one using sundried tomatos, and I wil try adding roasted red peppers which I love. Still hard to believe you leaving California climate for the snow climate up here! anyway, will contiue to check in once in a while and see what you’re cooking…
