This has been a relaxing, casual weekend where I caught up on stuff around the house and worked a little on my goals for 2015. So this will be a bit of a random post. It was especially relaxing for the pups, they kept warm by the fire while Smokey took in her favorite show. […]
Curry Kabocha Squash
Today was the California International Marathon and while I didn’t run it, I did head into Sacramento to celebrate with the Team Veg members that did. It was an adventure getting into midtown Sacramento with all the finish line activity at the capitol, there were a lot of tired and slow pedestrians with medals hobbling […]
Random Eats and Hair

Friday we stepped out to another new That restaurant that was a cute little hole-in-wall and I got this nicely spicy eggplant tofu dish. […]
Fall Stir Fry & Hot Pink 10K

Simple Fried Green Tomatoes

But I’ve never tried fried green tomatoes, […]
Wasabi Sweet Potato Fries
Awhile back I splurged on a pricy item at Whole Foods, actual wasabi powder and it wasn’t cheap! Since the real stuff is expensive to produce, most of the wasabi in the US is actually a blend of horseradish and mustard. That’s not a bad thing, but I wanted to see if the real stuff […]
