recipes, pi & vi
So, i’ve been looking for some different things to cook lately… kind of bored with food and i love food. i’ve found a couple new things that are being veganized and added to the shopping list for this week.
Saag – making this for soup sunday (every sunday is soup day here at the parham palace).
Tortilla & Black Bean Pie - making this on friday evening (I don’t have a spring form pan, but i figure i can make do without one).
I’m looking for a couple ideas for next week and also a couple ideas for a tasty, but cheap dish that can feed a small army – please bombard me with recipes.
*don’t worry about whether or not your recipe is vegetarian/vegan, if things need to be altered to suit the taste of those eating it, i am quite capable of substituting things around.

still can’t find the gorram camera battery charger. i’d lose my fracking ass if it wasn’t attached. (wow! that was two sci-fi swear words back to back… i am so much the shazbot)

helped the kid put together a blog post for Pi day, yesterday. yeah, it’s a day late for you, if you haven’t already seen it, but it’s still cool. here it lives.
and on that note, Elijah and I both think you should check out the lovely and talented Vi Hart; her videos are amazing and a beautiful articulation of the shite running around in my head all day long, every day. enjoy.
happy v-day 2011
birthday week 2011 – day 7 (wind down & linky love)
Today is the last day of my birthday week. I’m winding down.
Going to clean up Legos off the floor so that the almost one year old that I kidsit for tomorrow doesn’t try to eat them.
I see that doing dishes are in my near future.
It’s another beautiful Winter day; currently it’s 38 degrees F and bright and sunny. Almost feels like early Spring.
Speaking of ‘Unschooling’, if you are looking for nuggets to strew or you are just looking for a new blog with cool things, try over here.
Desecration (remember, there’s roll-over text people)
Also, Thaddeus Russell’s book, A Renegade History of the United States, came up in a Facebook conversation. Open your mind, drop your white progressive liberal pc politics for a minute and read it.
And then, if you still want something else to read, but are looking for something not so serious, try: A Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant, and Vulgar Words: Used At the Present Day in the Streets of London (1860), by John Camden Hotten
And, last but definitely not least, go check out my Dear Other Half‘s Flickr sets.
birthday week 2011 – day 6 (glorious sunshine)
Slept in.
Went and fetched donuts and danishes while my Dear Other Half cooked breakfast.
Erika, from Green Circle Farm, stopped by to deliver our grocery order. She might come back by later tonight for a couple drinks with us.
I took some pictures of the glorious sunshine outside for you and I to enjoy. So, enjoy!

My week is almost over
Wonder what is waiting around the corner for me?
birthday week 2011 – day 5 (lunch date)
I went to eat lunch with my friend Rachel and her baby girl, Mabel.
We ate at a new vegan restaurant in Robinson; Loving Hut is the name.
They have their own TV station, Supreme Master TV.
Food is really good, prices are reasonable and atmosphere is interesting.
I highly recommend the fried wontons and pho.
Unfortunately, I spent the rest of the day/evening being ‘emo’ about all the bad/sad juju of last week – everything finally catching up to me (can’t keep up with keeping my I-am-okay-face on or pretending that things aren’t bothering me).
A good xkcd for you.
