Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and Nona Mac’s Southern Pastry, Vegan Style

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and Nona Mac’s Southern Pastry, Vegan Style

My plan was to write about rhubarb and share a healthy rhubarb pie recipe. That’s because rhubarb is low in calories and has an assortment of vitamins and minerals that are good for us. And, it’s in season.

Trouble is, most rhubarb recipes are loaded with sugar to cut its strong tart flavor. I asked several friends if they had a rhubarb pie recipe I could use and they all told me they don’t eat rhubarb anymore because they’re trying to avoid sugar.

Connie McCabe: “I don’t have any rhubarb recipes, sorry. I generally stew it with lots of sugar! But I’m off sugar these days, so don’t know what I’ll do!”

Bees - Adding a nucleus to a hive body.

Bees - Adding a nucleus to a hive body.

So I got back on the horse and ordered more bees.  I ordered a nucleus or "nuc" for short.  This is an established colony of bees with a queen that is already laying eggs.  It's more expensive, $130-150 presently, but a little less work when it comes to establishing a hive, at least for the hobby bee keeper.  I picked them up early in the morning and brought them home.  I placed them on top of the hive body I planned to use and let them out for a while to get used to their surroundings.  Later in the day I actually placed them in the hive.  Enjoy the video!

Finding SearchLove in Boston

Finding SearchLove in Boston

Dave, Katie and I were lucky enough to spend two information-packed days at SearchLove in Boston last week. It was a lot of fun. We learned some new SEO tricks, we met and hung out with some smart people, and (let’s be honest) we nerded out.

Movies: "Frances Ha"

Movies: "Frances Ha"

 

Tall, broad-shouldered and a little ungainly, Greta Gerwig plays Frances, and though she’s surrounded by friends and acquaintances throughout this movie, it’s practically a one-woman show.  (Gerwig also co-wrote the screenplay with her boyfriend, director Noah Baumbach.)

 

When we first meet her, Frances -- an understudy with a modern dance group -- is sharing a Brooklyn apartment with her best friend from Vassar, Sophie (Mickey Sumner, who happens to be Sting’s daughter) and dating a guy named Dan.  But both situations sputter out, leaving Frances with no place to stay and no boyfriend either.  Her dance prospects don’t look so hot either.
