Promo cards for the weekend, because MY BOOK IS COMING OUT SOON OMG IT’S REAL!!!



It’s here! It’s here! Oi my god, it’s finally time for Vida Vegan Con!!!

That’s right, the world’s first ever vegan bloggers conference is this weekend, right here in Portland Oregon, and it is going to be AMAZING! Already, 100s of bloggers have descended on the city. My Twitter feed is a fast and steady flow of excitement, chatter, camaraderie, Portland iconography, and of course, tons of food pics! It’s so fun to see all these enthusiastic folks storming the city, tweeting about all my favorite haunts and truly enjoying all that Portland has to offer. Makes me appreciate this place more, and mostly makes me SO HAPPY to be a part of such an awesome, energetic, and life-loving community. YAY VEGAN BLOGGERS!

I can’t wait to tell you all about the merriment, next week! In the mean time . . .


Le Love List


1. VIDA VEGAN CON!    Obvi. See above. Also, because I am facing my biggest fear, and sitting on a panel and speaking in front of people, and that is a monumental step in the direction of seizing my life for my own. And I’m gonna kill it – whether I freeze up or whether I’m eloquence embodied – I’m gonna kill it because I’m gonna DO IT. And that’s going to be amazing.


2. The bonzai Book Club!    Have you joined the discussion yet? What are you waiting for?! I’m having such a great time talking and thinking with all you incredible, intelligent folks. Love it. JOIN IN!



3. ^^ Those two. ^^    Need I say more? Don’t think so. Love those guys . . .


Also! Summer food, sunny nights, mini zinnias, my neighbor handing me enormous cucumbers over the fence, movies instead of working, peanut butter, almond butter, grunge fashion, girl’s night out, outdoor music, The Weepies, practicing for #2, beer in the bath, kicking coffee, did I mention peanut butter? I’ll stop now . . .

~~~

Alright guys, now it’s your turn – tell me what you’re loving this week!


My darlings, this happy little post will stay at the top of the page all weekend, so stop by any time to leave your Love List, ask a question, or offer some feedback! Or if you’re new, please introduce yourself and say ‘Oi!’! This is your community, so get involved!

Have a FANTASTIC weekend!

The Potato Tower Project, Redux

August 25th, 2011 - posted under: The Farm » Flora

A few years back, I grew potatoes in stacks of tires. It worked out all right for a first attempt, and come fall I had a modest harvest of magnificent taters. This project appealed to me on many levels. Of course, I just love to garden, period. But I also work with a pretty small [...]

What We Ate Wednesday: Munching On Lunches

August 23rd, 2011 - posted under: The Food » Food Styles

I’m back on the bandwagon! And happy to be here; I’ve missed our WIAW parties! This time, as promised, I’m following up on the breakfast bonanza with an entire weeks worth of “lunches”. I put that in quotes because really, Waits and I are grazers, and we tend to just snack all afternoon. So really, [...]

DIY Homemade “Green Powder”

August 22nd, 2011 - posted under: The Food » Recipes

Oh, you guys. You know that feeling when you stumble upon something so rad, so essentially, perfectly relevant, so flippin RAD-TASTIC that you actually go past the point of peeing-in-your-pants-excited and just sort of sit back and sigh and shake your head? Yeah. Like that. When most people think about food preservation, they’re focused on [...]
