Odd. . . my Google Reader seemed to be filling up at an alarming rate, sort of like the rising waterline in The Poseidon Adventure. Then I remembered: Not only is October the official World Vegetarian Month, it’s also the Vegan MOFO (Month of Food)! This is the 31-day period in which vegan food bloggers worldwide pledge to blog […]

Pre-Blog Entry Blog Entry
Just poking my head in now that I finally see an end to all this work. I wish I could tell you I’ve been away so long because I’ve been galavanting in Europe, or galavanting in Australia, or even galavanting in the Muskokas–but nay. Sadly, I’ve just been entangled by a monstrous pile of assignments to […]
Hi–and Hiatus
For those of you who drop by DDD regularly, you may have noticed that the frequency of my posts has slowed down considerably of late. Well, once again, it’s that time of the semester when I’m deep into a marking blitz and consequently feel as if I’m neglecting this blog. That, paired with an impromptu visit from […]
Ten Photo Meme
I must say, I never expected my little apple butter sauce to cause such a stir (no pun intended–oh, all right, pun intended). It always amazes me which blog entries elicit a strong reaction while others, like Andy Garcia, might be on par with their (more popular) contemporaries, but for some reason still don’t garner the recognition I think they deserve. […]
Zucchini and Pineapple Mini Loaves
You know, there are days when I just marvel at how much my life has been enriched by joining the world of blogging. I’m amazed at how many positive experiences this little outlet for self-expression, culinary creativity and the occasional star-struck reference to my favorite soap opera has brought my way. At the forefront, of course, is […]
Important Matters. . . and Gratitude
As much as I love modern technology, I still believe there are times when good old fashioned paper-and-pen are in order. For instance, I always buy a “real” card (versus an e-card) for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions (graduation, etc.), even if I send along an e-card as well. I make an effort to write […]
How I Spent My Spring Vacation*
*Or, It’s a Long Road “Back” *Or, Things You Think About While Lying Flat on Your Back for Ten Days Well, I may not be completely “back” just yet, but I am at least vertical once again–if only for a couple of hours a day. YIPPEE! Talk about an ordeal. I wouldn’t wish that kind […]
The Best Laid Plans
Well, as they say, the best laid plans of rodents and humans. . . or something like that. Despite my own best laid plans for quinoa today, I am myself laid up. . . with a pulled back. And though I’ve had a bad back for years and thought I was used to the inconvenience […]
Weekend Update
I thought I’d take a few minutes before heading out for a long trail-walk with The Girls (it’s a long weekend over here, and they’re thrilled to have us both at home–ALL DAY!!) to post a few newsy notes. So, if you drop in only for the recipes or the witty repartee (I suppose that […]
