I just re-read all these love lists (I read them in my email as they come in) and man, you guys make me feel soooo happy and soooooo lucky. Love this community! I want to give a congrats to Joselle for getting her gorgeous wedding featured in VegNews, woo-hoo! You're a beautiful bride my dear, and that food sounds a-MAZING. Everybody, check it out! @ Minna - Yup, I love Vegansaurus! I retweet them more than any other site, haha. And I adore their new series with the vegan littles. Also, it makes me SO HAPPY to hear that you're feeling better. <3 @ sara thomas - YES! You can do it *now*, it's so true. And if you want fruit trees you can always plant them in giant pots so that you can take them with you when you do finally make it to your dream spot. Girl, I've got a lemon tree growing in my living room! @ Kate in SB - Oh yes, I know the glory of the Gem Sweater Gallery. ;-) @ Callie - I haven't posted a kimchi recipe, but I did post a sauerkraut recipe, and sauerkraut is just boring kimchi, haha. But really, kimchi is made the *exact* same way, just throw in some shredded carrots and crushed garlic and minced ginger and red pepper flakes and whatever else suits your fancy, and bam - you've got kimchi. To make it totally authentic sub the green cabbage out and replace it with napa cabbage. Also the video I link to in that post is a great resource for this sort of thing. Hope that helps! ~~~ Love to everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend!

I began with skepticism and I am left with “watch out for my body rolls” running through my head.

Love list:
1. I managed to prepare healthy meals all week long without neglecting the kidlets (3yr, 2yrs, and 2mos).
2. We walked over 6 miles in one stretch, just because the sun was out.
3. Our strawberry plants are blooming and we found two little green berries in the patch so far.

1. Having enough free time to read. It’s been waaaaaay too long since I’ve been able to sit down and read for hours.
2. Riding my bike everywhere.
3. Homemade vegan mac and “cheese” so good even my omni boyfriend can’t tell it’s not the real thing.

1. I am headed home! I’m in the airport at the moment, but by evening, I’ll be home, hugging my girlfriend and playing with my kid.

2. I won’t switch to high RAW for the MMM until tomorrow, but so far, my plan of bumping the amount of RAW food (and veggies in general) on my diet is coming along just fine.

3. Good food, good times, great company. There are awesome people here in Boston, and even though I missed my family a LOT, I had an awesome time.

My love list!
1. I thinkI say this every week, but my hubs. He’s the greatest :)
2. My free sewing machine! Our landlord came and said “is that your sewing machine? If not I’m throwing it out.” uh–NO! MINE! Hopefully it works!
3. Garden garden garden garden!

Ah, so I have a question. I feel like you posted a kimchi recipe on the site at some point, but I can’t find it. The more kimchi I eat the more I want (is it possible to get addicted to kimchi?!) and it’s starting to cost a bit. If you do have a recipe on the site already could you point me to it? And if not, I’d love to see one. In the mean time I’ll use teh interwebs to mash together my own kimchi recipe, and let you know how it goes.

LOVE LIST!
1. COOKING – been doing a cleanse(ish) for this MMM and it’s really punched up how much of my day I use to cook or prep food and how much I enjoy it. I had a nice busy day yesterday, but was pretty much finished with everything by 8:30 and was like, what do I do with my night now? Usually I’m cooking…
2. Springtime! – It’s warm again, finally and truly warm! And things are growing, and beautiful people are walking around in less clothes (sorry, pervy, but it’s true), yay.
3. Speaking of Pervy, Dan Savage is on my love list! I’ve been listening to his podcast a ton lately and just loving it!

Thanks for letting us babble at you!
