As I share my jamventures with others, I hear over and over how intimidating jamming seems. It's a simple process, really. To demystify it, I offer a primer. Get to work peeling some fruit. Husband walks in the door. Use him to test market your clever "Jam On It" catch phrase. Now chop all the fruit. Fruit in a pot!

Dangerous Curves: 'Soup?
http://biggirlderby.blogspot.com/2014/11/soup.html
Derby, nutrition, depression, cooking, writing; it's complicated. Love You, Love You Not. Saturday, November 22, 2014. Whose idea was it to make soup out of cheese? For this person, I would like to start a church, sacrifice some virgin cows. What good would virgin cows be, otherwise? Everyone knows the first step on the road to cheese involves a knocked-up lady cow. Soups are my favorite way to pack a bunch of nutrient-dense vegetables into a meal without having to go to all the work of chewing them.

Dangerous Curves: In the Numbers
http://biggirlderby.blogspot.com/2014/12/in-numbers.html
Derby, nutrition, depression, cooking, writing; it's complicated. Love You, Love You Not. Monday, December 1, 2014. Dad’s breath grew erratic and ragged. He drew one last, long burst of air and pushed it out, exhausted and spent. That was it. This gentle, wry man—the one who showed me the numbers running throughout our entire lives—was gone. Axis and time over the x. The moment after Dad took his last breath, his empty shell lying on the bed, the numbers were silent. No equation could graph our pain.

Derby, nutrition, depression, cooking, writing; it's complicated. Love You, Love You Not. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. I didn't know it was so bad. You are my friend. I want to please you. What’s new with me, you ask? That’s the thing. Nothing’s new. Nothing. I spent my week watching episode after episode of a stupid show on Netflix, caring but not caring. Numb to the world around me, to my own feelings threatening to overwhelm me. Blink and you’ll miss it. Friday, July 18, 2014. Like what it's like to swim...

Climbing three flights of stairs to get home. Feeling tired- a lot. Getting out of bed in the morning, which shouldn't really be that hard.

Derby, nutrition, depression, cooking, writing; it's complicated. Love You, Love You Not. Wednesday, December 10, 2014. I look down at you in the bed with all that hardware—tubes and wires running around you, over you, through you. The machines have assimilated you, like the Borg—an entire species that now exists as a metaphor for how we’ve turned you over to the machines as caretakers, task makers (eat this, drink this, breathe now). Resistance is futile. I wish we had known each other longer, you croak.

Derby, nutrition, depression, cooking, writing; it's complicated. Love You, Love You Not. Monday, September 22, 2014. Dear Diet Coke, How Do I Miss You? Let Me Count the Ways). First thing in the morning,easing into the day,. The snappety pop of your lid, followed by your gentle fizz. Still haunts me as I sip my morning tea. Three in the afternoon,. When visited by doldrums. And lunch coma,. You ran over my lips,. Tickled my tongue,. Cold and tingly bubbles pushing their way. With lunch, with dinner,.
