How To Tell If Your Liberty is Being Threatened Or If You Have the Flu.

Last updated on: January 11, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m hearing that the flu is pretty bad this year in the US–ugh. That stinks. To those who are feeling awful: feel better and get Tamiflu if you can! To those who aren’t sick: please consider getting a flu vaccine. Yes, yes, I know, even people who have had the vaccine have come down with flu, but your risk of dying from flu is probably greater than the risk that the flu vaccine will do you harm. (Remember when I... Read more

What I Have Learned About Writing and Life from Lego (and my kids)

Last updated on: January 10, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Three and a half years ago, after my son Aidan broke his leg on the slippery floor of a Franprix supermarket in Paris, and after the initial shock and pain began to wear off, we had to figure out what on earth we were going to do with a suddenly immobile almost-4 year old. One can only watch so many movies, and I wasn’t at all sure I was ready to introduce him to video games. So I consulted my... Read more

Tiny Pancakes Have More Flavor.

Last updated on: January 9, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Will you help me settle a matter of ongoing debate in our family? First, confession: I do not really like pancakes. They are all right, I suppose, but unless they are dotted with chocolate chips, I can’t get excited about them. I know how that sounds: like I am a seven-year-old. So be it. Now, further confession: I do like the pancakes that are known on New York diner menus as “silver dollar” pancakes. I cannot really explain why this... Read more

If you liked “Call the Midwife,” you might enjoy…

Last updated on: January 7, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I devoured this novel a few weeks ago, in that great gulping way where you’re enjoying a book so much that you look forward to getting back home so you can get back to it and then realize that you have to slow down or it’s going to be over too soon. It has many of the pleasures of Jennifer Worth’s memoir Call the Midwife, but it’s a thoroughly American story, taking place in Depression-era Appalachia, and the midwife, Patience... Read more

Is Jesus the iPhone of Life?

Last updated on: January 3, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Probably because I now live in a land where the hunger season comes every year and where everyone over the age of 12 probably has some memory of something approaching actual famine, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the difference between what food meant when Jesus said, I am the bread of life and what it means in America these days. I feel like “I am the bread of life” has sort of become meaningless in America, where we... Read more

Resolve to Make Cinnamon Rolls

Last updated on: January 2, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’ve shared this recipe before. But so what? It’s worth sharing again, especially because I kicked off our New Year’s Day by serving cinnamon rolls made from a different recipe that were a total flop, partly because I forgot to put salt in the dough, thereby giving edible illustration to the whole “salt of the earth” metaphor. Sigh. While I can never resist trying new recipes for things, the rolls made from this, my old standby recipe, are good, and... Read more

Don’t Diet in 2013. Eat with Joy.

Last updated on: January 1, 2013 at 6:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

If you’re like many Americans, the time between Thanksgiving and today has been full of feasting that’s even more indulgent than the everyday feasting that’s pretty common on our shores. I’m not knocking that feasting, mind you. I love to feast. But if you’re like many Americans, that feasting gets to be a bit much. And so today is the day you start with a ‘clean slate’ and go on Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers or The Daniel Plan or... Read more

A Revolutionary Christmas Card from Me

Mary knows what Jesus’ birth is all about: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; ... Read more
