comfort food

wonder | wander | women are not cooks by nature. Only learning to cook in our mid-thirties, when we had our own kitchens to putz around in or lord over. 

Growing up in our grand/mother's home, none of us learned to cook. When she was around, she did it all - quickly and distinctly her way. 

battered bible of basics

We love our food too much to not take an interest in it - even if we did not start out very hands on. We would collect cookbooks and pile them by our bedside to read through before bedtime.

Autumn in Kensington Gardens

 After living so long in the tropics, wonder | wander | women love the turn of the seasons. Of course summer is the season that feels like home to us, but autumn is so beautiful and appeals to our sense of poetry.

collective constituent change

On November 7 at 9:22 p.m. EST, Uranus returned to Taurus for the final chapter of his transit through the sign of the Bull. 

This transit’s final weeks and months are an invitation to wrap up loose ends and consolidate the changes that have taken place inwardly. During this time, we are being asked to realign with our true values and redefine stability and security. 

seven year cycle shift

Modern humans live in a Death Culture, removed from Nature. We are killing Mother Earth and doing nothing about it. Earth is our home, our safety and security.

dancing with paint

How do animators create such iconic characters as Bugs Bunny, Stitch, Pikachu or the Disney Princesses? There are a wealth of ideas that can emerge in the creative process but the hands have to be loose enough to create the greatest range of wild, out-there, crazy designs.

ber months are here

Our island home in Western Visayas, Philippines celebrate our ber months in honor of our local harvests., Markets acclaim the toiling growers who provide generous bounty and fresh produce for our home fare and community feasts. 

Food is central here in this agricultural culture and our lives center around it. Negros Island is famous for all its special and quality delicacies. Homemade, locally sourced, organically grown, and caringly tended. 


Our annual farmers fair is a crowd drawer - which usually starts locally at the end of September, going on monthly until December. Participants come from outlying provinces, towns and barangays of Negros to trade their goods.
