bleating hearts

Posted in crafty, on your person, tagged , , on November 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I just received my order from Bleating Hearts Soap & Candle Co., a friend’s Etsy store. Everything is so pretty and yummy-smelling. Pictured above are French clay-tea tree oil soap, candy cane peppermint soap, cranberry bliss soap, and fresh spruce and black amber soy candles in coffee mugs. They all came lovingly wrapped and ready [...]

hold the…and the…and the…

This is the saddest-looking cat in the world. This is also the only photo that turned out from Thanksgiving at my friend Yoko’s house. Out of the five of us there, only one was an allergy-free omnivore. Three were vegan, one was allergic to gluten, and one was allergic to nuts. We decided to all [...]

chicago 2009: fall edition

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged on November 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Well, another surprise trip to Chicago means more food and photos. I forgot to take a photo before getting to the very dark club, so please forgive the flash. Yes, it’s what it looks like. I made these mini cupcakes for the benefit show put on for my cancer-boy friend, Jim. I ended up making [...]

so veggiething’s dead

Posted in general on November 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

After being handed off from content editor to content editor, then not hearing anything until sending an e-mail for a heads-up, I’ve learned today that VeggieThing is dead. Don’t worry, though. Citysearch is more than happy to keep all that content we gave them. So in the spirit of burning bridges, I say suck it, [...]

i heart gama-go

Posted in on your person on November 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I’ve had my wallet since New York…at least six years. It still works but I’ll be the first to admit it looks like hell. So when we needed to put together a Gama-Go order for my brother-in-law’s birthday, we decided to throw some wallets on there. Tom’s (on the left) was crazy on sale. Mine wasn’t…but it’s [...]

soup

Posted in general, tagged on November 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I made it through the bowl, but I probably won’t be doing it again. Tom, on the other hand, thought it was great. So he’s got a bunch of soup with his name on it (literally, if you get the right alphabet pasta). I couldn’t get over the mushy beany feel and the sediment in [...]

oatmeal: it’s a staple for a reason

Posted in general, tagged on November 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Not just because it’s awesome in muffins and cookies, but oatmeal can also be used in an old-timey, no-nonsense breakfast treat. If you know me and my eating habits/quirks, then you might be surprised by my love of oatmeal. Granted, I love MY oatmeal and am too afraid to order it out. (Although one day [...]

blah, blah, blah, cancer, blah, blah, blah

Posted in crafty, general on November 5, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I know, whenever I break from vegan food, clothing, sundries, and issues, it’s like I’m always harping on about cancer. Sorry, I just really don’t care for the stuff. It’s one of the 80 reasons I went vegan, and it sucks that for many of us cancer seems a when, not an if. Well, right [...]

trial and error: peanut noodles

Posted in general, tagged , on November 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve expressed my love for Red and Black Cafe’s Black Dragon Noodles, but I can’t tell you just how often I eat them. Cheap, filling, and really close to home, these noodles are a gimme when I’m short on time and energy and my tummy starts making growly noises that make my cat run away and [...]
