Shunning The Sun for The Storm

March 5, 2017 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 1 Comment
Painting also kept me busy.

Four more days to go until I finally get in for my behavioral health appointment. It’s been a month of doing pretty much anything I could to keep my head above water. Knitting like crazy.

Adjusting

more blood work

Friday was my first full day on meds, thanks to winter finally arriving Thursday and trapping me at home.

Women's March on Washington sister rally in Hartford, Connecticut

You’ve probably noticed by now that I haven’t posted a single recipe since late November. The one lonely post that was delivered … [Read more…]

Book Review: The Handmaid’s Tale: Fiction or Not Too Distant Future?

December 17, 2016 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 1 Comment
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

I haven’t written a book review in a long time. For a while, I participated semi-regularly in From Left to Write, a virtual book club where we would read the same book and, instead of treading down that familiar path others take, we used the book as a jumping off point for a post. No … [Read more…]
