vegan revolution

Life is really kinda funny. My life doubly so. January is a really busy month for me.

  The last couple years I made a solemn pledge to support small businesses, bonus points if they are local, and extra super ultra bonus points if the items are handmade. I also make an effort to avoid buying anything new. I try to reuse and re-gift where possible (and appropriate). In an attempt to . . . → Read More: Join the Revolution! Buy Handmade This Christmas!

With all the harvesting going on in our kitchen, we have had a lot of fruit flies hanging about. I have had a homemade recipe that I have used successfully for years that is really effective.

I am ecstatic to harvest, eat and can much of what is in the garden (especially at the prospect of pickled stuff). Homegrown veggies and fruit . . . → Read More: Striving for Independence!

The Joys of Having a Garden

Delicious strawberries!

This morning I was padding around The Fortune Cookie trying to decide what I wanted for breakfast. Honestly, it was slim pickins in my cupboards as I have not gone grocery shopping in awhile. Most of my produce on hand was vegetables of one sort or another, and zucchini or squash for . . . → Read More: The Joys of Having a Garden

Finders, Keepers

I love moments of random, weird luck. You know, those moments where a light bulb goes on in your head when you can take advantage of it. I had one of those moments the other day. Kim decided to treat me to indian food (one of our favorites). I had yet to eat indian cuisine . . . → Read More: Finders, Keepers

Tiny Garden in My Tiny House

View of the garden from my front door.

So, I have never had much of a green thumb. Most of that is because I have never put in a huge effort into gardening. Prior to buying a house I lived in apartments and assumed that because of my small space, I couldn’t. Once I . . . → Read More: Tiny Garden in My Tiny House
