Fight Anorexia–Eat Together

Last updated on: October 4, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

{I’m away this week, but will continue to do some (re)posts–this article originally appeared in the ‘Weight’ issue of catapult magazine} Years ago, I was idly leafing through one of the many church-supply catalogs that came to our house (a parsonage) and was amused to find featured a new product: a pre-filled disposable communion cup. Shaped like a single-serve coffee creamer, it had a double foil lid — peel back the first layer and there’s your communion wafer; the second... Read more

Eating Well as a College Student (for example)

Last updated on: October 3, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

A reader named Chelsea wrote: “I would love to live a more sustainable lifestyle and to eat healthier but I don’t know where to start. I feel I eat semi-healthy but now that I moved out and live on my own, I tend to gravitate towards the ultra-high processed foods. I convince myself it’s easier and portable to take to my night classes. So I was wondering if you had any suggestions for living healthy on a college budget, living... Read more

Chocolate Chiffon Pie in a Coconut-Chocolate Shell (Gluten Free!)

Last updated on: October 2, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

So I know I said yesterday that I would try and post a recipe for pain au chocolat today. And, dear readers, I tried. But I simply could not make time in my day to make a batch of pain au chocolat and take pictures of the process so that it would be clear. If you are dying to make your very own pain au chocolat, this recipe looks to be a very good one, but to be clear, it... Read more

My (Mis) Adventures in France

Last updated on: October 1, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

One of the major perks of the whole overseas Ph.D. thing was increased travel opportunities. There was even the opportunity for us to tag along with Tim to study French in Paris for a month with the bill largely footed by a grant! Sounds perfect, right? Perfect, it most certainly was not. In August of 2009, we Stones availed ourselves of this opportunity and booked what seemed like a reasonably decent apartment in the 2nd arrondissement. To tell the truth,... Read more

I’m 30! (30 things about a 30 year old on the 30th)

Last updated on: September 30, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

So, today’s my “golden” birthday, the birthday upon which you turn the same number as your birthdate. I remember when my best friend had her golden birthday–when she turned ten–and thinking, “gee, I’ll be ancient before my golden birthday ever rolls around!” Well, here it is, and I just got carded last week buying some cooking wine. The store owner (female, attractive, with a thick Eastern European accent): “you old enough for that, honey?” Me (pulling out ID): “I’m turning... Read more

Apples! And watermelon! And a distended belly! (and lots of adorable pictures)

Last updated on: September 29, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

This is such a weird time of year. It’s technically autumn, but the leaves haven’t yet turned and it’s warm and muggy most days. Our watermelons finally became ripe and ready, and yet it’s apple picking time. I find myself wanting to wear wool and hoodies, yet I’m still getting mosquito bites regularly. In fact, I can hardly focus on writing this post because of the brand new bite on my left arm. I find myself mentally drafting letters like... Read more

The Death of a Great Woman

Last updated on: September 28, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Have you ever heard of Wangari Maathai? She was a pretty awesome woman, and she died on Sunday night. Wangari Maathai was born in a small village in Kenya and went on to become “environmentalist, feminist, politician, professor, rabble-rouser, [!] human rights advocate and head of the Green Belt Movement, which she founded in 1977.” (New York Times) She was educated in the US at Mount St. Scholastica and the University of Pittsburg, and she earned a doctorate in veterinary...

Grace and a Steak Dinner

Last updated on: September 27, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Mr. S’s favorite food has always been steak. He’s a meat-and-potatoes kind of man. As in, pizza is, for him, “ethnic” food. His roots go down deep in New England-style cooking, and the rich influence of US immigration on American cuisine has done little to alter his palate. He’s always been a great eater, Mr. S. And Mrs. S was, in her day, a great cook. After their retirement, they ate in restaurants a lot, because Mr. S wanted to... Read more

The Last Last Meal

Last updated on: September 26, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Why abolishing the last meal is graceless. Last week, following the execution of Lawrence Russell Brewer, Texas State Senator John Whitmire (D) contacted the head of the state prison agency to demand that the practice of allowing a prisoner to choose a last meal be ended immediately. Texas executes more people than any other state, and their death row process has been under scrutiny. For example, in 2004, Texas executed Cameron Todd Willingham for the murder by arson of his...

How We Make Pizza Dough

Last updated on: September 25, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

We love our NY pizzeria pizza, but homemade pizza makes all kinds of sense. First, it’s inexpensive. Second, you can top it just the way you like it. Third, it’s fun. I’ve used various recipes for pizza doughs over the years, and many have worked well, but my favorite way to make pizza is with the recipe for pita bread from the Moosewood Cookbook. This is how to make it: Dissolve in 1 cup warm (about 110 degrees F) water:... Read more
