local milk is a journal devoted to home cookery, travel, family, and slow living—to being present & finding sustenance of every kind. It’s about nesting abroad & finding the exotic in the everyday. Most of all it’s about the perfection of imperfections and seeing the beauty of everyday, mundane life.

After over 8 weeks locked in rooms alone during a After over 8 weeks locked in rooms alone during a global pandemic with nothing but a cell phone to keep me company, I decided to sit the screen down for a month and go outside. I wore cut off Levi’s and a white t-shirt and stumbled over boulders and down rocky embankments to waterfalls and swimming holes. Sometimes with a bottle or some beer. Sometimes not. Always with good company. No pretense. No perfectly styled picnics. No designer clothes. No fancy photos. It was country music with the windows down and pick up trucks. Greasy burgers and a pitcher by the river. Fried oysters and shrimp rolls too. It was the type of golden, soft-focus summer time I remember as a kid, riding on the backs of motorcycles and jet skis or perched shotgun in a little boat cutting through the river islands at sunset. Wading into the rain swollen creek barefoot in my underwear. Sucking the marrow out of life without worrying about perfection. It was the smell of sunscreen. The hot spatter of oil in a cast iron skillet for fried catfish & hush puppies. Watching a water snake wind through the reeds. Discovering a little Phoenix of a butterfly hidden in a pile of ashes. And what I learned from my four weeks away from this digital world I’ve called home for so long, is that I deeply prefer the real world. I don’t intend to stop my adventures in Tennessee or otherwise or stop sharing them, but I’ve learned how to be present. How to separate the art of living from the business of it. How to have boundaries and keep moments for myself. Whether it’s an afternoon swimming at the lake or hours spent laying on rocks in the sun as the water rushes around me. The very act of living is a creative act, each choice we make a line in our book. But not every chapter is meant to be shared in its every anatomical detail laid out like a dissected frog on the table for the world to see. I learned I don’t want my life to be my work. I don’t want my very existence to be some performance piece played out on this stage. Instead, I use this to share my work. Tell stories. But not all stories need to be told. They can simply be lived.
