Last week I interviewed the owners of O-Cha, soon to be Racha Noodle Bar, in Damariscotta. I talked to Job; his wife, Em; and his sister, Jib, about their new restaurant, and Em mentioned a dish she had developed that will be served at Racha: spaghetti curry with a green curry sauce.

Meeting Ruth Knowles: “There is a wonderful 90-year-old lady named Ruth Knowles who lives at The Lincoln Home and has written a children’s story about a family of snow shovels … intended for 3- to 4-year-olds,” wrote Damariscotta wildlife artist Julie Babb to me in a recent email.
Waste Watch
How about this January weather we’ve been having? One day you see snow, the next day it’s gone. One day it’s wind chill of negative 5 degrees, the next day it’s 50 degrees. At least our days are getting longer.
Food, Life, and Manhattans Custard pie: creamy, rich, buttery-textured, with a hint of nutmeg
I love custard pie. I think it’s my favorite dessert. At least today.
I’ve always loved plain old custard, too. Baked in little glass custard cups with a healthy dose of nutmeg sprinkled over the top, it’s a simple, somewhat decadent dessert.

Maine Arts Iditarod: “The Maine Arts Commission staff are braving the elements again this winter to present their 2019 Arts Iditarod to Portland, Bangor, Damariscotta, and Fort Kent in January and February,” read the intro to the event description on Facebook of the Maine Arts Iditarod I attended on Wednesday, Jan. 16 at River Arts in Damariscotta.
Round Pond Column
As I sit here in my office on this cloudy Monday morning, I can hear snow plows clunking by, snow blowers running, and a tractor up the road doing some snow removal.
Tails & Tales from Apifera Farm Be more donkey or goat or llama: the rewards of animals engaging with elder people
Animal therapy — bringing people together with animals — has many positive effects on people, including placing a person in the moment.
No Longer Lower Round Pond January stars
Decades ago, George Winston recorded a beautiful piano solo, “January Stars.” A few oft-repeated minor notes and its flowing chords seemed to bring forth a true vision of a star-pierced sky.

Tirdy Works’ wild ride: Hanging out with Mary Winchenbach – Somerville’s now widely famous “moose-poop lady” – is something akin to what I imagine it must have been like to spend time with the late comedian Robin Williams, known for his rapid-fire delivery of ad-libbed comedic lines.
Ponder and Stir
This is my Kansas in winter. Simple. Flat and white. Chilly days of longing for anything warm-toasty-snuggly-cuddly.
Food, Life, and Manhattans Biscuits, hot, with butter. Hello.
There are only two things that aren’t good about a hot biscuit with butter melting upon it.
Jefferson Column Manners
Is anyone else wondering what happened to old-fashioned manners? Probably many are just too mannerly to say so.

Go see the student art: I am a firm believer that it is a good thing for young students of the arts – music, theater, visual art, or otherwise – to have opportunities to display their creative endeavors to the wider public. Such things as recitals, school plays, and art exhibits in public places give kids a chance to see what it is like to be taken seriously as an artist, to feel what it is like to have a public response to what they have created.
Paws for Thought
“Good boy, Toby. Good boy.”
I have found myself saying that many times over the past two years.
