And then sometimes I think about all the things I've gotten really good at holding my tongue about...all the things I simply had pull off my chest and let go of...all the fights I never picked...

I guess it's pretty even, the over talking and the tongue biting.

Change is in the air...

"Change is in the air, especially with the moody Moon back in your productive sign; however, circumstances beyond your control still make you nervous. Of course you want to stabilize your feelings, but there's too many unrelated events happening simultaneously today. Instead of trying to do the impossible, take a deep breath and step back from the chaos. The energy will become more manageable once you give up the idea of being in charge of everything."

Lemon poppy seed

Last bite of the lemon poppy seed bread I made this week.

Lesson learned in this recipe? The reason you "zest" lemons with a grater is because simply chopping the rind creates hard, bitter chunks in your bread.

I need a new grater or an actual zester. The small hand held one I have is dull cheap crap and the stand up one I have was my mother's and is 30 years old...can it be sharpened I wonder?
