Today when I was driving home from the bookstore listening to some song off State Songs by John Linnell I was thinking how awesome it must feel to be so incredibly talented and successful. It rained! I was so glad. We ran errands. I had to return The Veganomicon. Also, we got cat food from… Read More »
Last night when I was making tacos I got a drop of hot oil on the back of my middle finger on my left hand. It didn’t hurt that bad, but this morning when I woke up I found a blister right where the oil hit. It looks kind of like a wart. I have… Read More »
Last weekend my mom gave me three saint medals: St Margaret, St Kevin, and St William Arnaud. St Margaret was so serious that no one saw her smile or laugh. St Kevin was so chaste that he pushed an amorous woman into a patch of nettles. And St William was butchered while praising God (can’t… Read More »

I was just researching pumpkin soup recipes. This recipe for Curried Pumpkin Soup sounds really good. I would use vegan margarine instead of the butter–no prob. This one for Vegan Pumpkin Coconut Soup looks super easy–wonder if it’s any good. Anyway, today was the best mail day of recent memory. I got a surprise postcard… Read More »
This evening we made a new dish: it’s a Thai corn soup. I mean, it’s got coconut milk and Thai red curry paste in it, so it’s Thai influenced, at least–I don’t know if it’s actually eaten by people in Thailand. Oh, I just asked Erik, and he said the recipe-writer just made it up.… Read More »
Today after our walk we went to the dollar store. We got eggplants, lemons, asparagus (don’t know where asparagus is still growing, but I’ll take it), lightbulb tomatoes, plums, kiwi fruit, spinach…. I found some beautiful Arizona postcard books, bought one for me and one for my penpal who collects postcards in Idaho. For breakfast… Read More »
