Vegan Recipe Monday: Curried Carrot Bisque

Today, ladies and gents, is further evidence of why I love Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the Post Punk Kitchen. Feeling homesick and forlorn (and since none of you has yet figured out how to freeze and ship Lorrie’s bisque to me), I ventured online to find my own vegan bisque recipe.   I happened, [...]

Why I’ll be voting yes on Prop 204

Yesterday, I finished my early ballot for the November election. I feel swell about it. Amongst the propositions under consideration here in Tucson is Proposition 204, the Humane Treatment of Farm Animals Act. I had barely even have heard of this proposition until I got the following flyer in the mail: To the geniuses [...]

Geez, easy targets

While there may be a shred of validity to the argument in the link below, it smacks of downright meanness. I mean, seriously, someone studied this? And has the nerve to suggest that highlighting this fact might be beneficial in fighting the nation’s problem with obesity? Christ. Weight gain means lower gas mileage But since we’re on the [...]

I have some things to say about Sarah Brown

Namely, that she’s ridiculously funny. So, funny, in fact, that I felt compelled to write a blog about her instead of reading the 100 pages I have to cover in the next three hours. Oh, and did I mention the paper I have to write before 3:30 PM Pacific Time? Anywho, check this woman out. [...]

Civil disobedience

Tonight was a very big night for me. Encouraged by my new friend Julie, I broke school policy. Julie and I had walked about fifteen minutes to the university gym, per our Thursday night custom. Only after we got there did I realize I had forgotten my student ID. The chick at the front [...]

Here I’ve been bitching and moaning all day about my stupid inconsequential iPod, and I just got home and learned that one of the girls I’ve [...]

Vegan Recipe Monday: Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Also known as my iPod is screwed and I’m so despondent I just ate two leftover pieces of Sarah’s birthday cake for dinner and it tasted so good, only now I’ve got a dead iPod and I feel a little sick to my stomach.
But I digress.
Here’s the remains of what has to be my favorite [...]

Feel the power within minutes

Gmail cracks me up. Does anyone else have Gmail? If you do, you’ll notice that Google plants a bunch of ’sponsored links’ on your left sidebar that, via some crazy-ass computer language, it thinks will be pertinent to you given the text it reads in your e-mail. A wee glance over at it tonight –based ostensibly [...]

Oh holy Jesus

Uh, right. So I was…uh…trying find a new-with-tags bathing suit on eBay. And I…uh…ran across this. And…um…right, I’ve lost my eyesight. And holy hell, it’s a wonder I can even type this now that I’ve been blinded. Green Pink Mesh Bikini On a related note, when did eBay start peddling soft porn? Ew, is all [...]

Vegan Recipe Monday: Katie’s (sorta) Endive and Walnut Salad

This Recipe Monday is actually a take-off on a lovely little something my girl Katie made for me the day I got back from Vancouver last spring. And no, I don’t have that fantastic of a memory. I just mark my life out by travel events and exquisite meals. Hence, Vancouver. And hence, this starter [...]
