It's been a while since I've posted any of my kitchen forays, and this week, I've got a doozy for you. Work has been swamped the past few weeks. We've been steadily approaching the end of a grading period, which always adds to the normal day-to-day grading grind. On top of that, I've been knee... Continue Reading →
I Went to a Poetry Reading (And Stephen Hawking is Dead)
One thing you might not know about me if you're not a personal friend is that I'd like to think in a perfect world I could be a writer. Like, a real, published one. Some of my work was published in undergraduate journals in college. If you, for instance, perused the annals of the creative... Continue Reading →
Finding My Very Own “Chakra” Khan
Albeit unintentionally, the creation of this blog has taken me down a path of self-care this year that I am happy to have explored. The NIMH estimates that nearly 20% of adults in America struggle with anxiety, yet there are also estimates that say fewer than half of those that struggle seek any sort of... Continue Reading →
Library Book Sales: 10 for $10
In the world of e-readers, iPads, and Audible promotions that saturate nearly every social media platform, I often find myself yearning for the classic feel of a printed book. To me, there's no experience quite like picking up a used book to find solace in a different world for a bit. The soft, yellowed pages... Continue Reading →

Adult Coloring: Relief when Reality is the Leading Cause of Stress
This post should probably begin with a massive apology. I assured you I'd share my life with you three times each week, and I haven't done that. Already, in the second week of the year, I have failed that goal. Last week's Friday post was meant to be a fantastic adventure to my first ever... Continue Reading →

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Dick Cheney?
At the end of my fifth grade year, my family moved to a drop-in-the-bucket town in west Florida situated just an hour between Fort Myers Beach and Okeechobee. A place in the sort of land of the forgotten whose insect and snake population could carry off every human in the county. The kind of place... Continue Reading →
K, So…Pineapples and Queso? (Pineapple Chicken Quesadillas)
Want to avoid my lengthy diatribe? Jump straight to the recipe. Any teacher can tell you that the grief felt at the end of the yearly holiday break feels like the death of something special.
