I’m almost ready for Christmas, most of the shopping is done, packages shipped, decorations up, etc. Time to relax and enjoy the festivities! Miko agrees, he has a new reindeer squeaky toy thanks to my mom and is happy to enjoy the decorated fireplace. I enjoyed another vegan meetup this weekend at a new vegan […]
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 […]
Sweet Tahini Dressing
It’s been raining pretty good here for the last few days and that’s great, we need it! But Miko is not interested in the rain at all, he’d rather snuggle in his pile of blankets. I can’t blame him, I’m tempted to do the same instead of leaving the house for work on cold, dark, […]
Holiday Road
Happy Thanksgiving! We’re in Oxnard, CA visiting my dad and planning to have Thanksgiving on his boat. Lots of people crammed on a boat trying to prepare food in a tiny kitchen, should be fun! :-P Luckily there’s a Whole Foods near our hotel where I picked up a Tofurkey Vegan Roast, vegan gravy, and […]
Winter Squash & Random
Sorry, but this will be a pretty random post because it’s been a crazy week. Work is not slowing down and things always seem a little chaotic and crazy in November anyway, right? There’s preparing for Thanksgiving while reminders are everywhere that Christmas is just around the corner. Shopping and traffic around here already seem […]
On the Road
Whew, the last few days have been a whirlwind! But not bad and filled with interesting eats. I’m in the bay area for a few days attending a tech conference for work with a co-worker and it’s been an interesting experience so far! I’ll back up to lunch yesterday before we left because it was […]
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 […]
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 […]
