Don’t Criticize Notorious Leader Donald Miller

Last updated on: June 18, 2013 at 8:46 am By Rachel Marie Stone

A few weeks ago, Donald Miller (who’s a New York Times bestselling author and a popular blogger) wrote a post about how, as an introvert, he must order his life so that he can get his writing done. One of the things he does is “make sure [he has] until 5 each day completely free to write,” which is, of course, historically and globally, an exceptional privilege; one that almost no one can replicate. True, Donald did not present his routine as... Read more

What do Foodies Have to do With Faith & Feminism?

Last updated on: June 17, 2013 at 12:06 pm By Rachel Marie Stone

I have a new post up at Christianity Today on Michael Pollan’s new book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation: “Lord, bless this food, and bless the hands that prepared it… As far back as I can remember, whenever I heard this particular cliché in a mealtime prayer, I’d involuntarily picture a pair of magically disembodied hands, white and fluffy like Mickey and Minnie’s gloves, hovering over the kitchen counter, chopping carrots, lifting pot covers, and sweeping minced onions into...

Rhubarb Soda

Last updated on: June 12, 2013 at 9:30 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’ve got some rhubarb growing in the garden. I hate to admit to being such a lightweight, but I really do not like to make pie crust without my food processor, which is in NY. Nor do I particularly like rhubarb without strawberries. Except in this recipe for rhubarb soda. A few good things about making your own soda: it’s not as cheap as buying it you can make it much, much less sweet than commercial soda if you only... Read more

I Sketch Germs Because I Can’t Eliminate Them

Last updated on: June 10, 2013 at 9:30 am By Rachel Marie Stone

A few weeks ago I was so taken with the photograph of salmonella in my boys’ encyclopedia that I joined them as they painted something else entirely and made my own salmonella: And then last week, the common cold laid some of us low (which is continuing into this week) so, again, as the kids painted something else entirely I decided to create a version of rhinovirus (the one responsible for what ails us): I can’t explain what I enjoy...

Immodesty All Over The Map

Last updated on: June 6, 2013 at 9:02 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I have a new post up at Christianity Today: “A North American evangelical woman walking the streets of Zomba, Malawi—where I live—might assume that women here are immodest. Spend any length of time talking to a woman with a baby of nursing age, and you’re almost certain to see her take her entire breast out of her shirt and offer it to her baby. I’ve seen women walk along the street like that, a cloth snugly holding the baby in... Read more

Sweet-Tarts in their Resurrection Bodies

Last updated on: June 5, 2013 at 9:45 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m not even going to pretend to write a new recipe for today’s Wednesday Recipe. Because it’s June 5, 2013, and if you missed the recipe I posted on June 6, 2012, you need to not miss it now. When we decided to try and grow some strawberries in the yard, I kind of assumed that the most we’d get would be a few berries for noshing on while weeding or whatever. I was not thinking we’d be in ‘please... Read more

Expansive, holistic, humble, humane…

Last updated on: June 4, 2013 at 9:45 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Karen Swallow Prior has a review of my book up at Flourish, an online magazine that I began writing for ‘way back when, edited by Rusty Pritchard, who edited my first-ever published piece in Creation Care magazine. My most recent contribution to Flourish (which, gee, is no longer very ‘recent’) is a piece on goats giving birth. Here’s a bit of Karen’s review: I don’t read a lot of “how-to” books. I read even fewer “foodie” books. Too formulaic, too... Read more
