I am the queen of buy­ing vast quan­ti­ties of veg­eta­bles and then com­pletely for­get­ting about them until it’s too late. Jim always gets on me about it, but I go into it with the best of intentions.

I noticed tonight that I had some broc­coli on it’s way out, along side some snow pea pods […]

book tour of portland

On February 18, 2009 By

Nope, not that kind of book tour. Not yet, at least. I took some time off of work last week and early this week to work on the book. I have a hard time focus­ing in the house, as I am eas­ily dis­tracted when there are other things to fid­dle with, so I fig­ured getting […]

something’s gone ari-se

On February 10, 2009 By

Whew! Tak­ing a breath now. Midterms are over. I have 4 weeks until finals (I hate quar­ters, I’m a semes­ter kind of gal). Ah, that’s better.

Two of the but­ton pack­ages were sent back to me because they were “too thick” and required more postage, so I will be resend­ing those tomor­row. I can’t imagine […]

signs of life…

On February 5, 2009 By

Hello there! Just a quick note that I am still alive, just swamped. I promise to have some yummy pic­tures up this week­end, as well as some food reviews.

When I was a kid, I loved canned peas. I know, it sounds really gross, but in my house we never ate any­thing fresh, not even frozen. It always came out of a can. When I was sick, my grand­mother used to make me “pea soup”, which con­sisted of a can of peas, some milk […]

Patri­o­tism is sup­port­ing your coun­try all the time, and your gov­ern­ment when it deserves it.” –Mark Twain

Mr. Samuel Clemens cer­tainly nailed it on the head with that quote. Isn’t this his­toric occa­sion quite the mix­ture of joy and relief? We have some hard times ahead of us, most cer­tainly, but to have some­one like Barack […]

a day in the life…*

On January 13, 2009 By

I’m sorry to do this. I know that veg­ans in Port­land always talk about all of the food and restau­rants that we have here and I’m sure it gets old, but I just have to.

When I first started at my job there wasn’t much of any­thing in the imme­di­ate area for a quick lunch […]
