Sacred Cows
In the last installment of this series, I talked about the foyson diet- about freshness as a measurable biochemical state, about the biogenic amines that accumulate in food as it ages and how those compounds degrade the very essence that nonhuman peoples appear to seek, and about salt, that ancient ward, and the way it preserves cellular integrity at a level most of us never think about when we reach for the shaker. If you haven't read "The Foyson Diet" yet, I'd encourage you

The Foyson Diet: Faeries, Essence, and My Findings...
I'd like to introduce some perhaps leading edge science, nutrition and folklore connections, and I think a gentle, relatable way to do that might be by explaining how and why I discovered them. So.. My body runs on a very short list. Fresh red beef, cooked as little as I can get away with. Fresh eggs, fresh butter, fresh whole milk. Every single day, without fail, or things go wrong quickly and measurably. The beef has to be red and it has to be recent, not aged, not cured, n

What the Fluorescence?!: Nonhuman Encounters at the Grocery Store
My husband and I had just walked into Walmart, near the produce section, and I felt someone staring at me. Hard. I looked up, thinking I was imagining it, and locked eyes with a man I knew immediately was not human. Artemaeus was already gone. He was laser focused on getting his dinner ingredients, hellbent on alfredo, rushing towards dairy without a backward glance. The lights overhead were bright and cold. The A/C in Florida is legendary most of the year because of our

Paranormal Peach Tea
I was standing at my kitchen counter several years ago with two mixing bowls, a notebook full of failed ratios, and a problem I could not solve. The problem was powder. Specifically, the fine, chalky film that coats most commercially flavored teas when natural flavoring agents - particularly cream and butter elements - are introduced to loose leaf blends. Anyone who has ever brewed a cup of something lovely from a grocery store shelf and noticed that faint, unpleasant residue

Can't See The Forest For The Beings
Can't See the Forest for the Beings By Tillie Treadwell If you read my last post, you know I promised you a follow up. If you haven't read it yet, I'd encourage you to head back to "Leshy Forget..." before continuing here, because what I'm about to share is a direct continuation of that encounter, and it will make considerably more sense with the full context of who I met in that northern forest in September of 2016, and how that meeting changed the way I think about the wood

Leshy Forget...
As we move into the last phase of Autumn, I find myself in my annual, nostalgic state. Memories of months and years past fill my mind, and I'm grateful to have this online space, which allows me to write some of them down to share with you. Lately, I've been recalling fondly my experience with a person that research reveals would likely best be known in our society as the Leshy- have you heard of him? According to Russian, Appalachian and other folklore, the Leshy is a woodla

The Literal Ghost Town
My two favorites from this town were of Hank Williams, who played the opening of a hardware store in town, according to the plaque that accompanied the mural. I also learned on the spot that Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations was from Union Springs. While taking photos, someone emerged from my destination, funny enough.
