Dear Curiosity Journal,
I’ve covered the kitchen counters in canning projects and drying herbs because, as I mentioned, “Winter is coming”. In an effort to put away a few items in the pantry, I picked up a bottle of organic vodka while making a morning delivery to the Viroqua Food Co-op so I could process tinctures upon my return. I also decided to indulge in a slice of key lime pie. The woman in line behind me at the check out joked to her friend that they should have gotten what I was having for breakfast. I laughed and assured her I was making tinctures. “Sure, sure” she said, sending me a sly look. I had to admit, it appeared like I was starting Monday morning with a bang, but those days are behind me. I smirk to myself, considering my personal transformation from making mayhem to making medicine. If the woman behind me only knew…
