And Then the Fires Happen

Last Updated on January 8, 2019 by Crunchy Betty

And Then the Fires Happen 1

I have to admit, I'm in a bit of a quandary. Two days ago, I was all excited for the Three Days of Silence. I had lists and ideas, thoughts and plans. And then the fires happened.   That is my Garden Tower with the fire in the background, taken about 5 hours after the fire started on Tuesday, June 11. Our community, after going through this last year, is now faced with the challenge of dealing with Colorado's most destructive fire ever. Last year's Waldo Canyon fire was ... Continue Reading

3 Days of Silence

3 Days of Silence

So, well, um ... if you haven't heard, there's quite a bit of buzz going around about our privacy (and not just the privacy of American's, but that of the world). It's a slight bit unsettling, y'know? Not just a little off-handedly, I suggested on the Crunchy Betty Facebook page that we should all take three days AWAY from our phones, computers, televisions, gaming consoles, and anything that could collect data on us, perhaps a little out of protest, but a lot out of reconnecting with ...

We Are Delicious

We Are Delicious 1

It's dark-thirty, midnight, the house is silent. And I just had a conversation with a lump of sourdough. It may not have been as much me conversing with the dough, but the dough working magic - some alchemy of yeast and flour - pulling thoughts from my brain, through my fingers, and soaking them up with each push and turn. Its pale beige innards becoming outards with a twist. My innards becoming outards in synch. "Why," I asked the sourdough, or the sourdough made me think I asked, ... Continue Reading

MANhand Salve – The Perfect DIY Father’s Day Gift

MANhand Salve - The Perfect DIY Father's Day Gift 9

My father. Bless his heart, but for as much as he tries, he's so predictably underwhelmed when he receives gifts. If you give him a tie, with a crooked smile, he'll say, "Oh. Wow. Okay. This is great. Thanks." If you give him a spice rack, with a raised eyebrow, he'll go, "Oh. Wow. Okay. This is great. Thanks." If you give him a new car, he'll go ... well, okay, I don't know how he'll go. I've never given him a new car. But I'm pretty sure he'd go, "Oh. Wow. This is great. Was the store ...

12 Things You Should Know About (and Do With) Your Eggs

Last Updated on March 26, 2019 by Crunchy Betty

12 Things You Should Know About (and Do With) Your Eggs 7

A long time ago, in a land far, far away I had a friend who hated chickens. She loathed them. Every time we'd go out to eat, she'd say to the waitress, "Don't bring me anything with chicken. Chickens are disgusting, vile animals." And then she'd tell a story about her uncle, who was a CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation - so, a factory farm) chicken "farmer," and how when he was upset with her, he'd send her into the chicken "camps" and make her touch them. They would peck at her and ... Continue Reading

The Roofarm and Recipes for Not-Just-For-Gardeners Salve

Last Updated on March 26, 2019 by Crunchy Betty

The Roofarm and Recipes for Not-Just-For-Gardeners Salve 7

Until about five days ago, if you'd have said "have some gardener's salve," I would have been all "Pssht, what do I need gardener's salve for? For when I fall in the dirt after tripping on my shoelaces?" (Who am I kidding? I don't have shoes with shoelaces. I just trip. On cracks or curbs or air. Mostly air.) But, see, there's really not much of a difference between "gardener's salve" and, say, just about any other kind of salve out there. Put the word "healing" in front of it instead of ...
