We celebrated spring by having a light lunch of shredded chicken/cucumber/soy sauce salad, cold sauteed eggplant with homemade black sesame/miso sauce, daikon in korean honey/grapefruit marmalade with vinegar and sauteed greens. My sister is home for spring break. My family is whole again and I’m happy.

Five Senses Friday – #2

I wasn’t allowed to have sugary cereals very often as a [...]

Weekend Walks
By Pinjing in Daily LifeOne constant at our house on weekends: A long afternoon hike or walk. Since we got an extra hour of light because of the time switch, it was especially nice today. I used to despise losing that one hour of sleep, but I’m really looking forward to longer days, warmer weather and spring. (These were [...]

Tasty Vegan Eats: Mother’s Market
By Pinjing in Daily Life, DinnerParents weren’t around for dinner tonight, so I happily drove myself to Mother’s Market for some vegan grub (the parentals don’t usually go for vegan fare).

I went to a cat show.

I’ve never had a pet before, so this cat show and the Eukanuba/AKC championship last December (which is coincidentally being shown this weekend on Animal Planet?) are my feeble attempts to make up for lost time. My favorites were [...]

Recent homemade eats
By Pinjing in Breakfast, Daily Life, LunchSo last year I made a resolution to try to do Project 365; but as you can see I failed miserably (though I was pretty good about it for the first half of the year. I guess life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans . . . (Lennon). This year I’m not [...]
