Roasted chickpeas for the first time this afternoon (little olive oil, curry, cayenne and kosher) then through them in with all my new veggie bounty. Tomorrow’s lunch will be equally awesome.

Find of the weekend. I have happened upon a rather lovely reason to need a few extra drawers so while Mom was here this weekend we hit the road looking for something beautiful. Found it. $100 for a solid maple, refinished bureau with gorgeous details. Sold. HoneyCat is getting acquainted.

Why yes, it’s true — I haven’t been very active on the internet lately. I’ve been busy doing far more intellectual and important things… like gluing googly eyes onto Doritos.

I’d worry about your mental stability but I’m too busy giggling at the conversation between your snack crisps.

““Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice… It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else…””

Review of Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake

This has to be my favorite Kashi entrée yet. The amaranth polenta had a satisfyingly creamy texture, and the baked sweet potatoes and cooked kale made this meal seem homemade. The plantains were delicious, very sweet and soft, and they complemented the spicy ancho sauce so well. I loved the sprinkled pepitas (pumpkin seeds) on top that added a crunchy texture. This meal is warm and savory, perfect for a quick Winter meal. It’s also vegan, so it contains no cholesterol and is low in saturated fat. It’s pretty low in sodium too, which I was happy to see. The fiber content is not too shabby, but I would have thought it contained more protein since there were tons of black beans mixed in. Overall, I loved this Mayan Harvest Bake and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes bean and veggie dishes.

had this for lunch, & i couldn’t have said it better myself. definite recommend.

This is helpful. Much though I like to bring in leftovers, I resort to frozen at least one day a week. Keep it up!

Breathtaking. This is how you do a food shoot. Queenie highlighted this Hanukkah shoot from the December 2008 Gourmet. I missed it the first time and am floored by the beauty here.

Front cover, Bangor (Maine) Daily News, Wednesday, November 4, 2009.

There are people who celebrate keeping people who love each other apart. There are people who make it their pathetic life’s work to keep two people who belong together from not being together. There are people who revel in not letting others be genuinely happy, and making them feel like second-rate citizens in their own country, for the want of “preserving tradition.”

These people are assholes.
