I’ve been putting it off for as long as possible, but yesterday I finally had three old fillings redone at the dentist. Glad it’s over and I’ll hopefully never have to worry about them again, but it sucked. And so did the bill. My entire mouth had to be numbed, so I had a smoothie […]
Feeling Fall
As awesome as October can be, I’m glad it’s over because it was a month for me! It feels like I ran the Urban Cow 6 months ago, not one month ago! This year October was an emotional roller coaster of sadness losing Skipper and Shadow, celebration, lots of drama at work, and some adventure. […]
Autumn Squash Dressing
Thanks again for the kind words on Shadow, it’s been tough dealing with multiple losses this month. We’re thankful to have had the time we did with them and trying to focus on celebrating that. Miko, Leela, and Smokey have been so sweet to us as we’re dealing with everything, Miko has been extra cuddly […]
Shadow
I’m sad to report that Shadow passed away yesterday morning at home. He declined Sunday morning and was lethargic most of the day, hubby and I struggled to keep him comfortable, hydrated, and fed as much as possible as we decided what to do. By Sunday night he improved a little and was eating and […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge & Local Stew
It’s been a nice and relaxing weekend so far. The last few weeks have been so busy with work and outside of work that it’s nice to get a little down time at home to blast the house clean and catch up. Friday we sold Skipper’s dog house and I wasn’t looking to or planning […]
Protein Dijon Dressing
Hey, Friday is almost here! I’m ready, it’s been an odd week of drama and stress. Thank goodness for great family to talk to, a wonderful husband, and intense workouts to blow off a little steam. And we’re still kicking it here with Shadow, he’s eating and drinking. But not gaining any weight, very skinny, […]
Living It Up
Darn, another weekend disappeared too fast! It was a fun, but busy weekend! And a weekend full of rich eating, whew! It started on Friday when hubby and I went to Baagan for lunch to try this week’s trio plate. It was pretty amazing with scallion sweet potato pancakes, coconut chili brown rice, and orange […]
Scenes from San Francisco
Shadow is hanging in there, he’s been eating and roaming the house which is hopeful that he has a little more time. And I am finally done recapping last weekend after this post and what a weekend it was! After leaving the VegFest Saturday, we checked into our hotel near Union Square in San Francisco […]
San Francisco VegFest
We’re still going through tough times here, we got bad news from the vet on Shadow yesterday and may have to make a tough decision in a week or so due to complications from feline leukemia. The thought of losing Shadow so soon after Skipper breaks my heart, he’s been with us for over 14 […]
Scenes from Apple Hill
Thank you for the kind words on Skipper, I really appreciated the sweet comments and emails. It’s a tough time since Shadow, our sweet older kitty, is not doing well and losing more weight. Hoping for good news from the vet tomorrow. But I’m grateful to be able to share our lives with so many […]
