'democracy' as a civic religion -- 5/25/23 May 25, 2023

John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer; Walt Whitman (1819-1892) an American poet, essayist, and journalist. Both hoped for a thoroughly secular "democracy" as a civic religion displacing conventional religion: "Whitman and Dewey were among the prophets of [an American] […]

Minnesota Munchkins, c. 1895 March 23, 2023
This despondent looking crew are the drawn from the various Scandanavian, German, and Irish families settled in or near Wadena, Minnesota during the late 1800s. Wadena, located in the west-central part of the state, was (and is) a pretty small town, so some of these kids probably had an epic daily commute, by foot, from […]

Now I'm Satisfied May 27, 2023
In reply to Dirt Farmer: 1942: We get a pleasant nostalgic smile from this photo, but it's almost impossible to overstate what rural electrification meant to America after 1936 -- and particularly to farm women. Not only electric lighting and labor-saving appliances, but equally important, the ability to pump water into homes, eliminating back-breaking work […]

Cauliflower Growing Tip April 12, 2023
I’ve been growing cauliflower for years, but only recently did I learn this cauliflower growing tip from a farmer friend of mine.

Hydroponic Towers Made Easy July 22, 2022
Hydroponic Towers Made Easy will chronicle my journey into the hydroponic gardening world. At first, I was intimidated by the mere thought of growing food in hydroponic towers. I thought, that’s WAY too much work and involves way too many aspects I know nothing about. Chemicals, pH balance, water pumps, special sprouting trays… UGH. Just […]

Honey Fried Chicken and Waffles May 20, 2023
Super crispy fried chicken, drizzled with a warm honey glaze, served with the fluffiest buttermilk waffles! There’s a few steps involved in this, but my goodness is it a labor of love (of 45 minutes of course). And the end result is so worth it. With the crispiest chicken (breasts or thighs can be used here) […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]

Goodbye, Toronto May 10, 2022
I’m saying my goodbyes to Toronto. I’ve seen my last Hot Docs Festival film, and I’m just back from my last author program. I’ve probably had my last roti, checked out my last book at my local branch library, gone to my last art workshop. Horror of horrors, I’ve even watched my last play. The thing […]
