Making sourdough crackers at the Masai Mara in Kenya!
Posted on 16. Mar, 2012 by virtuousbread.
Last year I had a lovely student named Tricia come to the sourdough class. She wanted to learn sourdough because she lives for half the year on the edge of the Masai Mara and cannot get good bread. Nor can she always get yeast. Nor is the electricity supply necessarily reliable. The answer? Sourdough! Tricia […]

Online romance scams are growing at a dizzying pace, raking in millions of dollars from unsuspecting victims across the United States.
Some of the scams drag on for months or years, and leave the victims crushed emotionally and financially. Just this week, federal officials announced that Americans lost $201 million to online romance scams last year — nearly a 40% jump since 2018.

Whew, what a book! This book was not at all what I was expecting. I didn't want to write a review right after I finished because this is a book you have to process and let settle over you before you start to really break it down. This book has put all of my worst fears in black and white because grief makes us say and do terrible things. As a sister, as a wife and as a hopeful mother, this book made me face some things I was not fully ready to face. SO, all that being said….
This was not a book about just one character, and one story. This book was about five characters and 5 stories and how they all live with the loss of a loved one and how they are able to move forward, if at all. This is not a book for an easy read. At first it was hard for me to follow because I wasn't used to the authors writing. To me this book was from an outsider looking in. Like that family friend who knew everyone's secrets but never told anyone else in the family about those secrets. Some chapters were solely about one person, and others you went back and forth. It took me a few chapters to get the hang of the transitions between characters.
To me, this book was awesome. I love to people watch, and I love to know everyone elses business. So it was extremely interesting to me to be able to read about how every character in this book delt with secrets, handled loss and how they moved on. How they survived their lives and what ate at them. Being a sister and having siblings, I know what it is like to grow up in a weird house and not being able to talk about it to anyone but your siblings. You start to have a secret language and no one is the wiser about it. You learn to lean on your siblings because they are truely the only other people who know exactly what you're feeling and thinking.
The dynamic Celeste Ng captures between the siblings, husband and wife, and mother/father child is spot on. She did a wonderful job of portraying the emotions we know we would feel if we were in the same situation. I just wish we got to know Lydia better. I feel like one of the characters, asking myself "why?" and "what was she thinking?".
I would definately recomment this book!
my rating is ⭐⭐⭐⭐

St. Francis Senior Ministries welcome people of all faith traditions while remaining true to our Roman Catholic foundations. The Sisters of St. Francis have always sought to embody our Savior's concern for the sick and the poor. Jesus' healing mission went further than caring only for physical affliction. He touched people at the deepest level of their existence; he sought their physical, mental, and spiritual healing.
In faithful imitation of Jesus Christ and St. Francis & Clare of Assisi, we at St. Francis Senior Ministries believe that your spiritual well-being is as important as your physical, mental, and social well-being. Accordingly, the Spiritual Services Department provides the services of sacraments, prayer, and presence. We have a staff member available each day to provide or assist with our religious services and visit with our residents in need. We approach each resident as a creature of God and attempt to help them along their unique spiritual journey.
We strive to regularly provide the following religious services in the Chapel at St. Francis Home:
- Sunday Mass (Saturdays at 4:00 pm & Sundays at 10:00 am)
- Weekday Mass or Communion Service (Daily at 9:30 am)
- Interdenominational Service (Sundays at 2:00 pm)
- Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession (Monthly)
- Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament or Eucharistic Adoration (Monthly)
- Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick Service (Regularly & Individually as needed)
- Spiritual Retreat Experiences (Periodic)
We are blessed to have a beautiful Chapel at St. Francis Home reserved for our religious services and for personal meditation, contemplation and reflection. We also strive to regularly provide Mass weekly in the Chapel at the Elizabeth Schaefer Apartments (Wednesdays and Saturdays at 4:00 pm) and at the Friedman Village at St. Francis Assisted Living (Thursdays at 4:00 pm).
We have many beautiful Spirit-filled locations on our campus where the beauty of God's creation is preserved. Only a few steps away are the St. Francis Spirituality Center and the St. Francis Convent which offer numerous opportunities throughout the year to deepen your faith.
If you have any prayer requests, would like to schedule Mass intentions, or simply have further questions about the spiritual offerings of St. Francis Senior Ministries, please contact the manager of mission & pastoral care at (419) 447-2723.

(I made that one up.)
But isn't it the truth? When it comes to finding "the one," many say to take trips that require flights so you can see if your significant other can really hack it. Nothing like high altitudes, screaming babies and delayed flights to prove if it's true love or not.
I've gotten flying down to a science, so my experiences are relatively stress-free. However, that doesn't mean there aren't loads of imbeciles that plague the flying experience. And now, apparently "Air Rage" is a thing. I believe it. I've seen perfectly sane, tactful men and women turn into bona fide psychopaths on airplanes.
Perhaps we can eradicate random acts of insanity and keep the peace if we can we all agree that these things need to stop happening. Immediately.
1. Moving excessively.
I know this sounds a little strict, but all you should be doing is sitting in your seat. That's it. Novel concept, right? Pull out your computer, take a nap — whatever. Don't start aggressively pressing the touch-screen in front of you. Don't turn around and talk to your friends in the row behind you. Because regardless of if you're bothering the people immediately to the front of you or beside you, wiggling affects the rows around you, too. Just sit down already!
2. Not waiting your turn.
This peeves me more than anything else. There's a reason why there are numbered rows and aisles:
A) To stop the chaos when it comes to taking your seat and
B) To allow a safe, orderly exit from the plane.
If you are in the row behind me, do not try to squeeze in front of me once we land and the seat belt sign turns off. I am in front of you, therefore, you shall wait for me to gather my things and let exit the plane in peace. Just because you were in Group 1 onto the plane doesn't mean you're in Group 1 off. If you are in the back, sorry about it, but you get to wait until the rows ahead of you clear.
There are so many times that I'm on a flight and people from the back of the plane start stampeding towards the front. In one case, a family was going to miss a connection, so some people in front of us let them through as a courtesy and because they're human beings with beating hearts. But this caused the domino effect, and soon almost everyone from the back was trying to bypass us. I finally stood in the middle of the aisle to block the flow of traffic, let the people in front of me gather their belongings, and then exited myself. Is it that hard to wait your turn? Didn't wear learn these manners during our formative years?
|Just stop.
3. Asking for the window seat.
Just don't, unless you're offering a better option. (Which, in this case, would be an aisle seat towards the front of the plane of something in first class.) Chances are, the person you're asking paid extra money for the window, or got lucky. They want to stay there. If you ask to switch seats because you have a small child, I would understand, but only if that small child was separated from you originally.
I watched a woman ask a passenger to take her middle seat across the row so she could sit next to her friend, taking the window seat. The woman obliged begrudgingly — and I would too.
4. Hot foods.
I don't want to smell Schlotzky's or pulled pork for the duration of my flight.
5. Taking over the row.
If you're in the middle seat, you have to be observant of those beside you. Just because you're stuck in the middle doesn't give you the freedom sprawl out...
And with all of these commandments followed, flying should be friendly as can be.

The choice of an editor for your manuscript is extremely important. You've put a lot of time and effort into your work, and you need someone who will share your vision and help you polish your writing. Whether you've written an article, website content, a nonfiction book, or a novel, I've been where you are today. I have written and edited for almost every avenue of writing there is. My specialty is novels, but I've also edited many religious books, a true-life crime exposure, a huge variety of nonfiction books and articles, and even two cookbooks.
Below, you can read reviews from a few of my clients.
My edits are combination of content and line editing, meaning I help you get the overall structure/plot of the book developed well, while also improving your sentences and overall writing (versus just checking for grammar, spelling, and so forth). Click here to see sample pages of my edits.
I don't have a set fee. After a decade and a half, I know all manuscripts are not equal and do not take equal time. I won't overcharge you for a manuscript that needs minimal work, nor will I rush through one that needs major work. I want you to have the best end result possible. Therefore, I must see the manuscript in order to evaluate it and set my fee.
Although no one can guarantee the success of any book, I will do my best to help you elevate your writing into a work you will be proud to present to the world. When possible, if I know of a publisher looking for a book like yours, I'll put a bug in their ear to see if they'll look at your finished product.
While editing, I will put your manuscript into proper format for submission to publishers. I do not format manuscripts for self-publishing. You will need a designer for that.
If you have to ask how much "heat" I'm willing to edit, I am not the editor for you. You can keep your body parts in your pants, thank you. I also do not edit horror, and although I can edit fantasy, I'm not your best choice for that genre.
I have very limited slots available, so not every manuscript sent is accepted for editing.
If you think I may be the right editor for you, and we'll talk about your project.
Attention publishers:
I am also listed with
Creative Enterprises
(aka Books, Bach & Beyond, Inc.) and
Edit Resource
if you prefer to work through them.

Without Michelle Buckman, I can honestly say that I would not have a publishing contract. Her enthusiasm for my work encouraged me to make use of her contacts in the Catholic publishing world and get a book deal signed. Because she clearly explained all of her edits to my manuscript, Michelle has also helped me to become a better writer, and her no-nonsense way of calming my nerves has built my confidence. She was a true pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her!

It's Good to Be Here
Writing my first novel was more fun than I could have imagined, and then came the work of getting it from first draft to a book ready for publishing. I was fortunate to happen upon Michelle Buckman and I remain indebted to her not only providing her incredibly valuable editing services but also for being such an encouraging mentor. Her developmental editing was delivered in a thoughtful, patient, and encouraging way as she helped to enlighten and educate a new writer. If you are looking for an editor that knows what she is doing and is focused on pulling for your success as a writer, I would highly recommend Michelle, both as an editor and a person.

Michelle Buckman is an excellent content editor and writer's coach. Being an author herself, she knows how to restructure and make perfect sentences, paragraphs, pages, and entire chapters without losing the author's voice. This skill was very important to me as many editors know the mechanics of writing, but they often change the voice without knowing, which creates choppiness in the writing. The author often comes away with the feeling that the writing no longer even resembles their work. Michelle's skill can make a story flow ten- to one-hundred times better without changing the passion or voice of the author. She simplifies, organizes, teaches, and enhances the writing in ways that present your work in the most enjoyable way from the perspective of the reader.

I simply can't express how grateful I am to Jesus and Mary for leading me to you. Writing the book is one thing but having a skilled editor is worth gold.

Michelle Buckman edited my up-and-coming Eucharistic prayer journal. She was so helpful with all of the little technical details—the things that drive me crazy—and she caught some great typos, the ones you just know you'd never commit! I would definitely give her the name Eagle Eye. She corrected my writing to match the writing style most publishers use and she refreshed my memory of when and where to use ellipses, hyphens, and en and em dashes. Michelle also made suggestions to help my book become better and helped me to remain consistent throughout.

Michelle Buckman is a wonderful editor. She makes great suggestions for plot and characterization. She has a keen eye for reader level. She's honest and also affirming. Plus she goes beyond editing and works to help you get published. She genuinely cares about her writers and wants them to be successful. Five stars for Michelle.

Your favorite local grassroots forest defenders are ready for 2017!
In 1990, Mt. Hood National Forest adopted a Forest Plan that emphasized converting mature forests into managed plantations, and guess what? These 26-year-old rules direct the Forest Service to:
With your donation to Bark, we will stop these destructive practices.
Bark has stopped clearcutting old-growth forests in individual timber sales - but the rules have stayed the same. So long as these outdated rules are still in place, outdated practices are not only legal, but also expected.
In the coming year, Bark will organize, educate and advocate to improve the Forest Plan and give Mt. Hood National Forest a fighting chance to thrive in the face of mounting political and ecological crises.
Bark is taking bold action during this dire moment for public lands. Are you with us? Can we count on you for a contribution toward the future of our forests?
I'm ready for this. Bark is ready for this. We need you with us.
For the forest,
Brenna Bell, Bark Staff Attorney
P.S. Submit your comments right now to stop logging along Oregon's beloved Molalla River! Half of this proposed timber sale is mature forest, which is critical to preserve for carbon sequestration & storage, wildlife habitat and clean water. Click here to submit your comment by the December 29th deadline!

Ambivalence is the pull of multiple forces tugging you in different directions. Good tea deserves to be appreciated for its own sake. On the other hand, is there a meal that could not be enhanced with a fine tea? In the spirit of Louis Jordan reconciling beans and cornbread, I guess tea and good food can go hand-in-hand as well.
I recall my own experiments with Skittles and a medium-roasted tie guan yin. Then I became tickled at the puckery bite of kiwi with lapsang souchong. For each of us, there will be a similar delight in discovery.
Other tea drinkers have chimed in as well. Adagio gives suggestions for pairings with a handful of their teas. Our Home Tea provides a more thorough listing of food and tea combinations.

Standard procedure
That sort of amendment is standard procedure in the democratic decision making.
If she gets it into the bill, it will be up to the other side to get it struck out.
It's much easier to table an amendment to a bill than try and make another bill to oppose the first one.
