You don’t know how much I’d love to have photos of the sushi I made with these soy wrappers—it was super fabulous—but someone left the camera on after pulling photos off it so the battery died. I found these soy wrappers at an Asian market and forgot about them until today. They’re narrow, good for about [...]

new year’s boozin’
Posted in general, tagged vegan liquor on December 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
If ’tis the season to find cruelty-free bubbly, then here’s another list for ya. Thanks to Barnivore (the new name for Taste Better’s vegan liquor guide), Animal Aid Shop, Smithfield Wine, and Vegan Wine Guide, I’ve been able to copy & paste a possibly useful bunch of information without doing a lick of investigating. I do have [...]

I just saw this story on The Raw Story and was taken aback, which is rare. (And as with all the other animal abuse videos, I don’t think watching it is going to help me.) Rhinestones on sunglasses and crappy economic policies aren’t the only things that came back from the 80s. Apparently so has the need to fight [...]

Due to the storm (yes, Portland, I’ll give it to ya, we had a storm), I’ve now been off work for a full week. And due to the fact that I work for a college, I have the next week off. Most of these days have been pretty empty. The week off for the storm [...]

We’re working on setting up our new computer (Microsoft should take everyone involved with Vista out back and shoot them), so I’m just jumping on to say I’ll catch up in a day or two. Until then, I give you the xmas card we would have sent if we sent xmas cards.

Due to the “severe” winter weather, Tom and I both got to stay home from work yesterday. Look how treacherous these roads were! Good thing almost every car out on the road has chained tires. (Sorry, having been brought up in Chicago, I have no respect for a 34°, no-wind, fluffy snow storm. And I [...]

Posted in general, tagged indoor garden on December 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I took this picture today. Today. Today, December 14. The same day we had a “severe winter storm.” These are probably the last little tomatoes I’ll get this year from my indoor garden, which you’ve seen a bunch before. They’re pretty tiny, but still. Friday I went to a holiday lunch for work. No, it [...]
not so hot
Posted in crafty, eatin' out/in, tagged pizza on December 8, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Looks pretty good for something headed to the oven, eh? Unfortunately, this is how the Hotlips Pizza vegan “foccacia” (I prefer focaccia) showed up, expecting to be eaten as is. You’ll have to imagine the undercooked crust (dough) underneath the vegetables. Tom called to order and had two questions. Easy questions. What comes on it? And are there nuts [...]
