I haven’t photographed or posted about the swaps I received because I’m usually too excited and tear into the packages and then start admiring the goodies I’m sent. And then I put them in a box for storage and open it and admire some more whenever I walk by said box. ;)
I photographed a [...]

I placed an online order with Moonalisa tonight. :) She has a great reputation online: customers love her products and services. I don’t think that I’ve bought any etailer bath and body goodies this year because I have so much for it… But I couldn’t resist her quarterly (?) update.
I was able to [...]

Every now and then, I lose the spark to craft. Right now, I’ve lost it. I have a ton of projects I can work on, but I’m so half-hearted about them. :(
My awesome scarf that I had planned is currently on the drawing board because the flannel I had purchased for the product [...]

POTATOES!

From Whole Foods, for Food Not Bombs. :D
I’ve been making mashed potatoes/variants thereof these past couple of Sundays. In my opinion, it is difficult to find a good potato recipe that will taste good, even if serving is an hour or two down the line from when it was made. Mashed potatoes [...]

Note to self: next [...]

Oh. My. God.
I had to take a quick break from work to post how amazing and DELICIOUS Whole Foods’ Mock Chicken Salad is. It is orgasmically tasty. So flavorful and so satisfying! Spectacular.
I want to learn how to make this so badly. What throws me off is making soy nuggets. [...]

Lately, I’ve been busying myself with the Food Not Bombs chapter in Houston. The people who go are awesome, intelligent, and compassionate, and I’m so glad to have met them! Also, I really enjoy talking with the people we serve — they have so many stories. As strange as this may sound, [...]
