Of Pies and Men

Last updated on: July 14, 2022 at 9:42 am By Anne Kennedy

Spent most of yesterday making a small mountain of food, all from an old book called Pies and Pastries—one of those lovely tomes ennobled by clear, bright, perfect pictures of various pies and dumplings and tarts. The oldest child (now 20) thought we should attempt various confections we never have time or inclination to try. Those included an apricot tart (too sweet, I think), plum dumplings, palmiers, puff pastry squares surmounted with bacon and mushroom, a quiche, and—to stretch me... Read more

Try Not To Grow Weary In Doing Good

Last updated on: July 13, 2022 at 8:39 am By Anne Kennedy

It’s much easier to read if you prop some flowers on it. A clever online friend pointed out this week that it is totally fine to take a break from podcasting—and by implication blogging, I imagine—but the main thing is to let the loyal reader know, preferably in advance, that the break is forthcoming. ‘I’ll be offline next week,’ one might say, ‘but will be back with articles on the following subjects. See you then!’ This tried-and-true method has sometimes... Read more

There and Back Again Podcast and Links

Last updated on: July 11, 2022 at 9:36 am By Anne Kennedy

It is a bright, sunny, hot morning and, by a miracle of God, we have rousted ourselves to do quite a long podcast about our very recent trip to Spain and Portugal. Matt spends a long time talking about the prices of things, and I talk about toast and the cathedral in Cordoba. It’s really all you can possibly expect and I hope you’ll forgive us for taking such a long break. I don’t really have links because, though I... Read more

If Only

Last updated on: May 31, 2022 at 7:09 am By Anne Kennedy

Oh look, the blogging link still works! That’s a relief. Sorry I’ve been so scarce. I’ve been writing articles in a mad, desperate dash while the children finish up their finals. The method of this madness is the glittering, probably utopic dream that if we actually do the mountain of work that always sits there, instead of just sifting through the rubble and sand, in a week and a half we can go on the kind of holiday that doesn’t...

There are going to be a lot of spelling errors in this because Grammarly turned off suddenly and I don’t know how to turn it back on. I won’t have time to come back and correct anything, so just enjoy all the mistakes as my special gift to the universe. You’re welcome! Here I am, struggling into life, and all the lady lawyers have just arrived to begin another day on the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard extravaganza. They do... Read more

What my soul looks like when I’m scrolling through Twitter. Photo by Aedan Kennedy I’ve been too busy lately to catch up on what seems to be, for many people who are very online, as brilliant a time-suck as anything you could possibly desire. As far as I can make out (by scrolling around youtube) Johnny Depp (of Pirates of the Caribbean, if you haven’t heard of him before) is being sued by and also suing Amber Heard (of Aquaman)....

It seems to be totally random whether I can upload pictures or not. It is a humid, warm day here in Bing and I have a bunch of miles to go before I can collapse, but in spite of it all, we’ve done a shortish podcast about how people take off church for the summer, how Matt is reading a lot of history books, and how I’m reading Nate Collins’ All But Invisible. It ends up being all about sexual... Read more

If Only the Weather Wasn’t So Binary

Last updated on: May 13, 2022 at 9:39 am By Anne Kennedy

Everyone is too hot. Summer has come upon us suddenly, as a fury almost, skipping spring in the usual way, so that the temperatures have gone from like 20 to 80 in a matter of days. So instead of thinking about that, here is something else super unpleasant: ICYMI: 2 new WPC edits last night "Nancy Beach, First Female Teaching Pastor At Willow Creek, Embraces The Divine Feminine" Full video here: https://t.co/WwpGfDlW8jpic.twitter.com/UV6gpHn6ej — Woke Preacher Clips (@WokePreacherTV) May 13, 2022...

The new theme of this blog is turning into ‘Oh My Word I Don’t Have Time To Blog.’ It’s not a great theme, I admit, but it’s all I’ve got. Given that that is the case, here is what’s going on with goop (from E News): The goop founder sent the internet into quite a frenzy when her lifestyle brand debuted “The Diapér” in an Instagram post shared on May 11. However, Gwyneth has exclusively revealed to E! News’ Daily Pop the luxury item... Read more

The Reckless Curiosity of Spiritual Friendship

Last updated on: May 11, 2022 at 8:59 am By Anne Kennedy

No you don’t, I’m just kidding. I don’t have a lot of time to blog this morning, and of course, am horribly tempted by Hillary Duff’s “I too struggle to make peace with being unfathomably hot” (to quote someone named Kat Rosenfield) self-bragging (skip the humble) pictures of herself in Women’s Health. First of all, I love that a lot of people, glancing at “Women’s Health” thought it said “White House” and wondered why that auspicious institution needed to know... Read more
