Sweet Treats For Sweet People
For friends who enjoy sweet vegan treats, Christmas stretches on and on for days. Below are my final gifts for giving, VCIYCJ‘s gorgeous caramel pecan bars… And sweet coconut and cashew dark chocolate bars, a kind of mistake that turned out quite delicious. The tower of sweetness, complete for Rocky Road cookie dividers, sat upon [...]
Vegan MoFo #21: It’s My Birthday: Feel the Food Love
Birthday Brunch Ambush! The Greek rang for spontaneous brunch action of my choosing in the hybrid chariot. So I had to dump the cereal I just poured soy milk on and let it dry on a baking sheet. Kickin’ in Depression-era!My coffee says “hi”.My choice: Organic Grill in the East Village for their tofu omelet. [...]
Z is for Zebra Cake
I don’t often bake whole cakes. My oven is situated right smack dab in the middle of the dramatic slope of my kitchen floor and my cakes come out of the oven slanted and enchanted, taking a heavy blow to presentation. But in light of fellow blogstress and dear friend CandyPenny‘s birthday, I was happily [...]
Vegan Mofo #11: Special People Club
That radiant hue is non-other than home-brewed kombucha! Yes, within this half gallon is billions of sea-monkeys ready to work their wonders within. I was surprised with this jug by a fellow foodie who has a long track record of communicating through food gifts. As a gesture of gratuity and in honor of the Month [...]

Last Days of Wangnoi: In, Out & About/Cast of Characters
Most of the adults in this town work in the many area factories. What a better treat then to be delivered to those factories, by law far from the main highway roads, via colorful tour buses with strobe lights and blasting music? Huge “disco” buses, often covered in unlicensed Western cartoon and comic book characters, [...]
Living Eulogy: Annie
Annie lives close to the middle of the country. An area I rarely am, as I’ve always been inclined to stay near bodies of water. Her state touches Utah, Arizona and New Mexico in a perfect x and y axis that impresses my sense of organization and placement. We met in the top, left corner [...]
Living Eulogy: Tracey
Tracey lived down the block from me when I was a young girl. She was loud and crass and intriguing. I spent grades 1-3 repressed and shy in Catholic school and had yet to encounter someone like Tracey. I’ll always remember our first encounter. My family had moved to a quiet court in the less-affluent [...]
Living Eulogy: Rick
I like sorting and organizing time. I have a need to translate all I experience into a communicative form. I use this past all the time. It serves a purpose in my present and my future. An all-encompassing spank-bank. Rick believes more in the present. He is not trying to control time by slicing it [...]
How Do Your Like Your Eggs?
A few days back I had lunch with an older female friend. I used to be her subordinate and, over the years of working together, we bonded: Her, the feminist free-thinker still coloring her bright orange, fashionable, smart, articulate- she belongs in a prescription drug commercial for osteoporosis. Me, the emotionally overly energetic, borderline neurotic, [...]
