For This Year’s Brighid Poetry Festival

Let the candles flameSoft against the cutting coldIce and mounting snow. For the fire wakesSoon, and leaps into the sky.Ice will melt; sap, flow.

Chestnut House: Sinful Lettuce?

Last updated on: January 25, 2011 at 6:04 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I am a woman who loves to eat. This weekend, I had just about the same reaction to salad I used to have to Double Chocolate Mega Death Cake–oddly enough. Here’s why. (I still eat chocolate, by the way. You know… in case you had some to spare, and were wondering if I’d eat it.)

Sinful Lettuce?

Last updated on: January 25, 2011 at 5:59 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

Can lettuce be sinful? What if you eat it at a Quaker retreat? I was at Woolman Hill this past weekend, a beautiful antique farmhouse and outbuildings operated by local Quakers for various retreats. They’re quite eco-conscious, with many reminders about conserving heat and electricity, and carefully planned low-waste meals with vegetarian options on everything. It was a wonderful retreat. (In between spiritual challenges, I even got in a bit of snowshoeing with friends in the sub-zero cold.) And as... Read more

Put Some Woods On It

Last updated on: January 18, 2011 at 11:06 am By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I’m starting to feel like the character of the Greek father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding–the one who recommends Windex as a miracle cure. “Put some Windex on it!” he recommends, for everything from warts to blemishes. My drug of choice, however, is the woods. It has snowed here recently–a lot. I’m not sure how much is on the ground at the moment… something between 12″ and 24″ at a guess. And I’ve been grateful for my mom’s gift... Read more

Bad Quaker Bible Blog: Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters

Last updated on: January 16, 2011 at 7:59 am By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I am an occasional contributor at the Bad Quaker Bible Blog, a site for the exploration of how Biblical passages can speak to us individually. For me, that book sometimes can speak with the voice of poetry, or through the lives of faithfulness it has inspired. This set of reflections is on how the famous lines from Amos, alluded to by Dr. Martin Luther King in his Letter From a Birmingham Jail, echoes through my struggles to uphold the rights... Read more

And In My Other Life, I Am a Tree-Hugging Dirt Worshipper…

Last updated on: January 7, 2011 at 4:35 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

Over the past few years, I’ve become more and more concerned about the way I am part of a huge problem: the disrespect with which we humans treat the only home we’ll ever have: the earth. Starting this past June, first alone, and then very soon after joined by Peter, I’ve been attempting to live a life as free from plastic waste as I can. Plastic is not my only concern, but it was the initial spark–along with buying a... Read more

Ugly Carrots

Last updated on: January 4, 2011 at 7:11 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

I posted recently about some of our efforts to continue to eat locally over the winter. We bought shares in a local organic winter CSA in the fall, and I made one last stop at a farmstand, and brought home: eight pounds of beets two or three pounds of turnips, leeks, and rutabagas sixty pounds of potatoes twenty pounds of onions fifteen or so pounds of butternut squash, and thirty pounds of carrots. We had to work hard and think... Read more

Our 1 lb, 3 oz Holiday for Six

Last updated on: January 1, 2011 at 9:20 pm By Cat Chapin-Bishop

The New Year’s Eve festivities are over, the last of the apple and pumpkin pies have been eaten, and the in-laws have headed home to Ohio again. My daughter and her fiance will depart tomorrow morning, and on the next day, Peter and I will head back to work. Over the last nine days, six people have feasted, laughed, given and received gifts, and generally enjoyed ourselves in a pretty typical American holiday. (Though technically, Peter and I are Pagan,... Read more

The Learning Curve

Last updated on: December 24, 2010 at 3:01 am By Cat Chapin-Bishop

Our salad garden in October Tally of new plastic waste since our last report: 11 oz. So, a few weeks ago, I posted very optimistically about the possibility of subsisting through the winter on salads from greens I grew myself, on my windowsill. And a glance at this picture will explain why. With our excellent southern exposure and a couple of self-watering planters, I had big dreams for green leafies. Now, I’m a little wary of any “earth-friendly” project that... Read more
