But Before We Begin:
From a Baby Owl and a Freudian Slip, to all you ghosts and goblins out there . . .
Alright, now with that out of the way, I can finally say, “Auf Wiedersehen” to MoFo 2011, the 5th annual Vegan Month of Food. “You were fantastic and I loved you!“
For me, this MoFo brought some major successes (I actually blogged Every! Single! Day!) and some major FAILS (there are, at this moment, 441 messages in my Bonzai inbox. Oh, so screwed), but most of all it was majorly fun. On the 1st day of October I said “Willkommen!” to MoFo, and I made a list of topics I hoped to cover. Let’s see how I did:
- Recipes!
That tahini dip I’m addicted to?yup.Those pulp crackers I’m always on about.Uh-huh. xGFx sugar-free pumpkin muffins??? err, not yet . . . Photos from the Farmer’s Market(done and done)Photos from my garden & the 2011 micro-farm(check!)A series of essays explaining the food experiments I’ve been conducting on myself this year, as well as a discussion of self-experimentation in general, and potentially touching on disordered eating/orthorexia in the food blogging world.(off to a great start, and excited to continue!)- Answering your questions – so please ask them! Are you curious about anything vegan- or raw-related? Lay it on me, and I may just feature it in a post! (This didn’t really go as planned; no “question posts”)
Pictures of vegan kids enjoying vegan eats.(yes, lots and lots and birthdays even!)
Plus there was so much more! So now I’d love to hear from YOU! What did you think of MoFo? Which topics did you like best, and which were not your cup of tea? Did you enjoy the daily posting, or too much? Any complaints? Suggestions? Lay it on me!
I’m going to take it reeeal easy on blogging this week, as I try to catch my breath and work to tame this mountain of email. Oof . . . wish me luck!
. . . girls on the go . . . What a strange year it’s been in the pacific northwest! A late-start summer that never fully matured, cool weather, early rains and bursts of heat made for a confusing fall and a totally befuddled garden! Since my last update I’ve torn out most of the [...]
Vegan baking can initially seem intimidating, but really, it’s not so different from the standard procedure that you probably grew up on. For the most part it’s just a simple series of 1:1 substitutions, like plant milk for dairy milk and vegan butter for dairy butter. And eggs? What of them? In vegan cookbooks everywhere, [...]
Oi there, hello! It’s weekend time again! We had a lovely sunny week here, and Waits and I spent a lot of time outside, soaking up the last rays before they disappear for good. Right now there’s a storm moving in and it’s making me moody and broody and I guess that’s what winter’s all [...]
Counterclockwise is, easily and and hands down, one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Did you finish it?? SO GOOD RIGHT?! And just like last time, there are a million ideas and phrases and studies that I want to pull out . . . so much juicy brain food in here! [...]
