Many years ago I attended a lecture by an anthropologist who had grown up in Cochiti Pueblo.

When he was a kid, his family lived in a traditional extended family home. Because the only heat in the small adobe house was a wood stove in the kitchen, the family gathered around the kitchen table in the evenings. The kids did their homework and his grandparents told stories. In this way they Read More

It is ironic that in our world, while just about anyone can send information from one side of the planet to the other at the speed of light, we still so desperately lack in actual communication.

We may technically speak the same language, but we interpret things so differently that the intended message is often lost in translation. This is a tragedy that can be seen in every aspect of society; from our governments to our own households, even within the Church.

When we hear about “Pentecost” today, the reference is usually to the first Pentecost after the resurrection Read More

Dino Kale Chips

Kale chips are easy and inexpensive to make, and fun to eat. The kale that tastes best as a chip is Lacinato kale, also referred to as “Dino kale” or “Tuscan kale.” Lacinato kale was cultivated in Italy in the 18th century, and grown in Thomas Jefferson’s garden in 1777. 

To assure crisp, delicious chips, just observe a few pointers: make sure the kale leaves are dry before oiling. Use very little oil and salt and bake the leaves in a single layer on the baking pan. Store them in an airtight container only after Read More

How The Hen House Turns: Roosters In Danger

How the Hen House Turns

Roosters In Danger

After growing up well defended from crows, Peeper took on a masterful air that defied assault. He would watch with indifference as the crows landed within the chicken pen and took a few grains of leftover corn. They were nearly as tall as the hens, but were shaped more like bullets than pears, which made for a strange assortment of silhouettes strutting about the pen.

Eventually, the crows would sidle up to one of the hens and try a few quick swipes with their beaks before the master of the yard, now a handsome game cock, flew Read More
