Finding June Before It’s Too Late — Weekend Meditation

Finding June Before It's Too Late

Green was the silence, wet was the light,

the month of June trembled like a butterfly. 

~Pablo Neruda

Did you notice that it’s almost over, this first month of the summer? It’s not too late, but you must act quickly!  Head outside because June is something best felt on the skin: the sun, the warm afternoon breezes, the lake water that’s still almost too cold. It’s the height of the solstice and the evening light is like a good friend lingering long at your dinner table, welcomed and fascinating. Lean into it and soak in all you can.  Ask your most secret questions and be ready for whatever it offers in return.

Mixing You Grains: 5 Delicious Ways to Use Millet, Amaranth and Quinoa

If you bake with whole grain flours, you know that mixing them for purposes of flavor and desired texture is a common occurrence.
