IF USED CORRECTLY

One more for the night. I just came back to point out, in case you don’t hang on every change that might possibly affect me in some conceivable way (don’t you?), Abi added this fantastic new section to the HeatEatReview site called “Reader Letters.” It’s brand-new, so therefore sparse, but still amusing. My very favorite [...]

Tofurkey Day, revisited

In the past few weeks, many of you e-mailed to ask, with really sympathetic tones implied, “you’re not spending Thanksgiving alone are you?” For those of you I haven’t already told, I actually spent the day with a group of really cool archaeologists (and fellow med anthie Katie) from my cohort. There were several other vegans and veggies in [...]

Booked

That’s right, people. Mama’s comin’ home!!! I just booked my flight home for Christmas, and I’m so excited that I can *almost* overlook the fact that I have three term papers, two response papers, a lab, and a take-home final due in the next week and a half. Oh, and now that I have a shitload of [...]

Llama-talk is making me nostalgic (link to pics)

For those of you that I never got around to sending them to, the grainy Peru pics (also known as me appropriating indigenous intellectual property for my own amusement). Enjoy.

Vegan Recipe Monday: Banana “Macaroons”

Or more appropriately, let’s call these things “Cookies for those who love banana,” or perhaps “Desserts for the chronic dieter or those who were deprived as children.”
In my attempts to find some vegan desserty-type thing for a Hanukkah celebration, I ran across this recipe:
Coconut Macaroons
Adapted from “No Cholesterol Passover Recipes” by Debra Wasserman
Serves: 12
1 cup [...]

What’s in a name?

In my blogger slacking, I neglected to share the news that I finally went to see the Tucson Roller Derby a few weekends ago. I’m not sure that I can accurately pin down just what it is about the roller derby that I love. But love it I do, like no other sporty activity I’ve found yet. [...]

Seven days late and a dozen vegan cookies short

Whew, whatta week it’s been. I know I mentioned to a few of you that I was headed back to the east coast to see my dear friend Amy get married. The trip was such a welcome respite from grad student life, but it was incredibly hard to get on a plane last weekend and come back knowing [...]

Congratulations. And happy carpet-munching.

These may go down in history as being the oddest words a complete stranger has ever spoken to me. Last night, I ventured out with a girl from work and a few of her friends from Women’s Studies. After chatting for a while at Plush (love it!), I discovered that the girl sitting next to [...]

Games I play with my postman

For starters, I’m beginning to think my postman is a bit of a douchebag. For second, I do believe that douchebag is my favorite word of the day. There is a certain male individual in particular who has earned my ire today, and he shall henceforth be referred to only as “douchebag,” or “db” for [...]

iPod Etiquette

First things first…I must make a confession. Yes, yes, it’s true. I’m a capitalist sucker. Please observe, my newest petty bourgeouis luxury item:   Sadly, I can’t say I bought it because $10 of its purchase price is allegedly being donated to the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Because, honestly, I think $10 is a little insulting. But [...]
