A toast for amazing fathers and the time we get to spend with them in passing from energy to energy. Much love to you and yours.
Rest In Peace, Gentle Giant
Last month, my father passed away. Roderick Allen Soukup, 1935-2012 There are no words to capture just how painful it is to lose a parent- I am not even going to try. I will leave that to poetry and music. Initially, I never considered writing publicly on this subject-- if you have been follo...
Those images reminde me of the restaurant in The Nut Tree...and many a childhood memory. The row of giant sawhorses and the puppet shop...huge overly decorated lollypops that I never ate but insisted on having, just so I could look at one for a full year. Finally in high school, the place changed, closed...and the memories shifted to the paintings..and collaborated with the newness of learning depth in poetry...Tiger Tiger burning bright watching me with cateyes in the night...
Tropical Fever
If you've looked in my shop lately, you've seen that I have become obsessed with bright tropical prints. My hunger for colors has never felt more insatiable- next thing I am going to want to decorate my room with inflatable palm trees and lawn flamingos like I used to have it in 1986 when I was ...
I was blessed to see her live in Tahoe with my parents in the 80s.

Valentina's Home Brewed

I am sure we were once silent film stars together!
The Artist
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I went to film school. For many years after getting my degree, I was so snobby about cinema that I couldn't even bear to watch silly summer blockbusters. Since moving to the country, where there is a lot less to do on a Saturday night, I have regained my chil...
Like some other folks here, can't stand regular mayo, but veganaise is amazing! Also, check out Wild Wood, Aioli Spread, Garlic, Vegan...WOW!
Kitchen Magic Trick: Vegenaise and Raw Sauerkraut
I owe this kitchen trick to two people: first, my friend Manu, who came up for a camping trip on the Yuba river with us last summer and brought a giant bag of yummy food, including this specific brand of vegan mayonnaise; secondly, my hunny Chris, who discovered the magic of combining the vegena...
