*sorry, it won’t let me imbed the video.

Yay, vegan baking!

Oh, and here is the recipe.

Happy New Year!

Did you cel­e­brate the New Year in any spe­cial way? Din­ner, fam­ily, friends? Jim and I were feel­ing a lit­tle under the weather (sadly a New Year’s tra­di­tion with one of us, usu­ally) so we laid low and watch reruns of Sein­feld on my lap­top. So exciting.

As cliched as it is, […]

I’m in love.

I adore Port­land. I love it so much that even thought Seat­tle has supe­rior Asian cui­sine and Mighty O Donuts, I am still always happy to see the Port­land sky­line when we arrive back in town, home of my beloved Blos­som­ing Lotus, Proper Eats, Black Sheep and many, many others.

holiday wrap up

On December 28, 2009 By

Oy.

I’m feel­ing the post-holiday impact. True, we still have New Year’s to ring in, but the giant feasts, present wrap­ping and fam­ily wran­gling are behind us. It always leaves me feel­ing simul­ta­ne­ously wist­ful and grateful.

You asked and so you shall receive.

Here is the rough recipe for the chick­pea tart that I made for Thanks­giv­ing. This was lit­er­ally “a lit­tle of this, a lit­tle of that”, so please know there is tons of room for interpretation.

thanksgiving wrap-up

On November 29, 2009 By

There are plenty of good things to be thank­ful for this time of year– an awe­some hus­band, good fur kids (even if we do mostly refer to them as “the jerks), a great new job, my health– but what I truly appre­ci­ate and am hum­bled by my husband’s family.

I know that the holidays […]
