Brrrr! Today is the first day it has really felt like Fall in Victoria. So much so that I immediately yanked out the slow cooker at 7 am this morning to warm my house with the scent of an all day stew. Yesterday I took the book, Sporkfed , out of the library. I’ve been perusing it, but [...]

Vegan MoFo, fo sho. (And tortillas)
On October - 1 - 2012
Whoah, October! What the heck are you doing here already? And what have you brought with you? Vegan MoFo 2012, the Victoria Marathon (8k) and Disneyland? Aaaaaiiiiiiiahhhh! Due to the sheer craziness of this month, I will be keeping my MoFo posts very short and sweet (and sometimes savoury) this year. Since transitioning to a [...]

On October - 12 - 2011

That means my tummy needs a hug on the inside and there is no better way to accomplish that feat than with warm stew and [...]

On October - 11 - 2011
