Seasonal Images
The Iced Whale ornament waited patiently for the Christmas tree, comforted by the whiff of the salty scent of the Atlantic that wafts to The Electrician‘s home. In protest to a premature holiday kick-off, he waited well-past Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber-Monday to adorn the tree. Aaaah, a Poinsettia in front of a frosted window. The gorgeous red and green leaves [...]
Stop! Turnover! {Part 3: Coconut Flakes}
Unsweetened coconut is like tomato paste. It should come in a smaller package. I think it’s been in my pantry since: this, a time when I had much more time to make cookies. Christmas cookies! So it’s about two years now. This time, I made gluten-free toasted coconut chocolate chip cookies. They’re hearty, made of [...]

Cookie Monster
I get sweet cravings on a daily basis. I need to balance my taste buds–two savory bite begets a need for one sweet bite. So as to not badger or settle for a less-than wholesome sweet fix, I whipped up a double-batch of chocolate chip cookies. This recipe is simple and the best. In light [...]
All the Food Groups In One Bite
Wanting to use up my potatoes, I tried something like this. I mashed up the boiled Yukon gold beauties with some veggie stock, soy milk, nutritional yeast and assorted spices. Bam! That’s the bowl on the left. I steamed up some spinach and Brussels sprouts for some added texture. Pictured is the deep green of [...]
√ To Do Monday
With the day off, the list of to-do’s was long and scroll-like, starting with two classes at the gym. I did the pilates stretch and alignment class. Given the early morning hour and Park avenue address, it was me and a studio filled with lively blossomed senior ladies. The instructor played Sinatra and lead us [...]
Vegan Butterscotch: A Quest
I’m on a quest to make vegan butterscotch cookies. This quest begins on the back of vegan attempts before me. First try is Have Cake, Will Travel‘s recipe for butterscotch pecan cookies. The beautiful blog’s posting makes claims of them achieving a caramel-like taste. After trying out the recipe I must report that they’re scrumptious, [...]
Bring on the winter.
I’ve been working on my layer of blubber, getting myself ready. Inadvertently. Here’s what’s anchoring me in for a long winter: Roasted zucchini sandwich with way too big a bun X’s 5 days a week. Huge tofu dosa from House of Dosas in Hicksville, Long Island. Vegan cheese whiz. What the heck am I going [...]
Here’s the Scoop
Listen Staples commericals and every Sunday newspaper circular: “It is still summer!” I cry out, grasping at every hour, every minute of my dwindling summer vacation. So while it is still appropriate, homemade ice cream! I headed home to Long Island to try out Wheeler‘s Vegan Scoop chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with my Mom’s [...]
Embrace the Place
After crashing hard from the evening before, morning had us ready to hit the road for reals. We had a loose destination, an eatery in Fort Worth, Texas about 3 hours or so north from Austin. But after that… the unknown… kinda. We were going to take it one day at a time, like alcoholics. [...]

Divvies / Allergen-stricken & Vegans Unite
I’m always on the hunt for new vegan items and brands! If they happen to be new vegan chocolate chip cookies, well even better. The story of Divvies is much like many of the allergen-free baking companies… someone wanting to make sure the allergen-stricken has satisfying and yummy treats. Being a vegan, I appreciate the [...]
