Dog Day: Wuff is in the Air
“Hmmm. . . I know there was something special happening today. . . but what? Maybe if I sleep with my head on Elsie’s pillow I’ll think of it . . . “. “Mum, I appreciate that you turned on this doggie television for me, but that’s not it. . . hmmm. . . .special day. . […]
Dog Day: Tricks for Treats
“Elsie, what’s this I hear about Hallowed Eats today?” “No, silly, it’s Halloween. Which means Mum might play trick for treat! Just follow my lead. . . .” “Oooooh, YEAH! I’m READY!” “Okay, so here’s a trick Mum likes: ‘Say Please.’” “Well, I can give my paw! Here, Dad! Now where’s my treat?” “That’s nothing! […]
Déjà Vu Blondies
Look! It’s Ricki at the Vegetarian Food Fair again! Nope, I didn’t take a spin in the Time Tunnel. Nope, I don’t have a twin sister who demonstrated a recipe at another Veg Food Fair this weekend. Nope, I haven’t figured out how to implement Einstein’s theory of relativity and traveled back in time. And nope, […]
Someone Must Have Been Pretty Bored. . .
Yes, I’ve been gone for quite some time. . . but sorry to say, my blog absence wasn’t voluntary. In fact, it had nothing to do with me at all. Some of you may have noticed that my regular blog page disappeared for a few days. Sadly, someone hacked into my blog and “hijacked” it. Seriously, who […]
ACD Update: A Return to Sweetness
[Recent ACD-friendly dinner: Gena’s Raw Cream of Zucchini Soup]. It’s now been over ten years since I began this round of the ACD. These days, I no longer even think about my food as “different,” and never worry about what I can or can’t eat. But it wasn’t always that way. It took a series […]
Lucky Comestible 5 (1): Fresh & Spicy Cilantro Sauce
[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days. For this fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]
Über Healthy Kale and Seaweed Salad*
* Or, It’s a Privilege to Eat You (thanks, Whole Foods). Happy “Celebrating Our Country’s Freedom Day” to both Canadians and Americans (and anyone else who’d like to take part in the party!).** And before I forget (because I’m at that age when I do forget), let me also say “THANK YOU” to everyone for your […]
Sweet (Freedom) Giveaway–and Blog News!
First, the blog news: Welcome to the new home of DDD! We’re almost there–I’m about 95% moved in and unpacked so far. . . we’ve still got to add a virtual top coat of paint, rearrange some html furniture and hang some digital pictures before the rest is up and running over the next week or so, but […]
A Bowl Lotta Love
[Thanks to everyone who left such sweet comments and encouragement for the hellish week of marking! (And I know I still owe some of you emails. . . coming soon!) Some of you who are students noted that you’d be doing as much work on the other side of the red pen. Whether students, parents, […]
