- You’ve Got to Know Your Chicken A recent reading of the New York Times (go to bug me not for logins). I enjoy touching in on the Dining section to see what our weekly focus as a nation is to be. However, I felt leftout on this one: “Roasting a chicken at home may [...]
In an attempt to make chocolate last longer in our household, Sweets introduced this nice little trick that we’ve managed to teach to most of our chocolate bars. Instead of keeping your chocolate out in the open for anyone to see and want to devour, store your bar in a sealed container of coffee beans. [...]
The days this week have been long, sore (ahem, renewed committment to head to the gym, inspired by… well all sorts of things inspire these sorts of tendencies and this one is a bit long winded to explain), yet delightfully sunny in their duration. After Groundhog’s Day, the denziens of Eugene, Oregon became resigned to [...]

For New Year’s Day, Sweets and I took a train up to Portland and spent the morning at Powell’s Bookstore waking up. We were to meet our group of biker scum friends for Dim Sum in Chinatown in the late afternoon and we had quite a bit of time to spare. We decided to catch [...]
Thanks to Life Begins @ Thirty, I’ve been slapped with the music meme. However, I’m hoping to evolve it a bit… we’ll see if it gets transmitted. What is the total number of music files on your computer? The last CD you last bought? What is the song you last listened to before reading this [...]
The first Arful Vegan recipe I tried out is Yellow Finn Potato Gnocchi with Beet-Merlot Reduction, Roasted Beets, and Walnuts, p94. I had misjudged how time intensive this recipe is! Roasting beets, baking potatoes and reducing the sauce several times as well as letting the gnocchi freeze for an hour takes alot of time! I [...]
I have to admit, it was the title that caused my hands to leaf through The Artful Vegan. Artful-ness isn’t something that you see flaunted in a cookbook title everyday, and Millennium’s cookbook isn’t disappointing me.
