When Michael and I were dating, he had an incredible friend at work who suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - it was the actual diagnosis, not a joke. He was a germ-a-phob and a major health-nut, but he was a deep thinker. I credit him with a lot of important, good changes in Michael. In this friend’s quest for finding the perfectly balanced diet, he showed up to work one day with a bottle of kombucha in his hand. “This stuff is very good for your gut,” he said, “would you like to try some?” Michael agreed, grabbed a cup, and watched as his friend poured the clear, bubbling beverage. As he took a drink, it caught him by surprise - in a way it tasted like lemonade, but had the sensation of soda. He was so intrigued that for the next couple of weeks, he’d drive to the local health food shop to pick up a bottle of GT’s Original Kombucha. Michael would never drink the last swig from the bottle, though, because it contained the “mother,” a tiny bit of the symbiotic bacteria that ferments the drink (you may also see this in apple cider vinegar). Michael doesn’t handle funky textures very well, so I would drink the rest.

Several years ago we planted our first garden. It was a humble 4’x4’ raised bed with green onions, strawberries and, of course, tomatoes (the home gardener’s gateway plant). Our tomatoes grew and ripened faster than we could eat them, so I searched Pinterest for new recipes that my son with food allergies could eat. When I was a kid, my family religiously had pizza and movie night on Friday evenings. It was my favorite dinner-time tradition. My mom loved it because it gave her a break from cooking and dishes. It was a treat to ride with Daddy to pick up the pizzas (he didn’t think delivery was worth the extra cost) and come home with the hot boxes on my lap.
