I wish there were an everyday ritual that was a more norma part of our society for something like this. All I know is that I will be lighting a candle for these trees tonight, and I wish it was expected of me.

Kate O'Shaughnessy @kloshaughnessy.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Maybe what I'm feeling is that there is a vast lack of proper honor, gratitude, and ritual in modern society when it comes to this kind of thing: felling a tree, slaughtering an animal for meat, mining stone and fuel. I wish we were all more thoughtful about it.

Kate O'Shaughnessy @kloshaughnessy.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

I know they weren't safe to keep. I know they endangered my children, especially during the (increasingly) stormy season. Still, I feel so off. I have always felt that cutting down a tree is a kind of sacred act.

Kate O'Shaughnessy @kloshaughnessy.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

We have two redwood trees right in front of our house. Over the past few years, they have proven hazardous: they have dropped huge leaders and branches that have caused extensive damage to both our and our neighbor's houses. Today we cut them down. I have felt such a sense of grief all day.

And then finally, the newest addition to the mix is this corn pudding. It's so simple and easy to make but seems more complex in taste. A friend made it at a dinner party and after one bite I immediately asked for the recipe. www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/corn-souffle/

Mashed potatoes are a must, but it always feels so arduous to have to boil a giant pot of water, strain them, yadda yadda. This recipe is a stroke of genius: you ROAST the potatoes dry, and then scoop out their innards. This makes it soooo much easier. www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/crea...

Next we have these brown glazed sweet potatoes. They are a slightly more elevated version of the classic marshmallow casserole. They are basically dessert and they're always the first thing to go. We never do them with the nuts. www.epicurious.com/recipes/food...
