*Okay, it’s a horrible pun. But I”m an English teacher. We’re genetically programmed to come up with groaners like that. [Sorry about the bad lighting. . . by the time I got this photo, the sun–and the HH’s car–were long gone.] Hope those of you who celebrated had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. And for the rest […]

A (Very) Belated Birthday for DDD: Musings on Three Years of Blogging* and Vegan MoFo Roundup #3
Another week of Vegan MoFo is over–and I’m still standing (or, to be more precise, sitting here at my desk). I can hardly believe how quickly the past three weeks have whizzed by!

Chocolate Nut Bark
According to the media, we should all be making homemade gifts this year, what with the economy as bad as it is.

Biscuits in Need of Therapy
[This little Biscuit hates its mother.] I’ve been spoiled rotten the past week with my friend Sterlin in town visiting from England.

SOS: Sweet or Savory Sweet Potato Spread
[Fantastically versatile, high fiber and low(er) fat. . . savory spread, here on a raw veggie cracker.] It was while lunching with a friend in New York last weekend that I first had the inspiration for collard rolls with sweet potato spread. Okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly while we were lunching, but more like a day […]
