Not a creature was stirring? Well, in our house they certainly were.
At around 3 am last night, Teddy thought she heard Santa & as we crept downstairs, we spied a tiny hootenanny-soirée, hosted by the house mouse.

tamiapple Thank you! A cheezy tale indeed 😂🧀🐭👍 & regarding the Xmas market, I don’t think you missed anything by not going. I only went this year because I was in the neighborhood. It felt like a tourist trap, though it’s quite popular, with lines down the block on weekends. 1 likeReply

danielgl I think you may be right, not for me! Our tradition was to duck in and out of the hotel lobbies to see their gingerbread house contest entries replicating Chicago landmarks. 😊Reply

Kite Hill’s whipped Ricotta cheese has the subtle flavor & all the feels of Ricotta cheese only better, as it’s produced without any of the baggage that comes along with supporting factory farms & animal ‘products.’

tamiapple Thank you so much 😊 This cheese definitely adds a nice creaminess to sauces (I also had it yesterday with pasta - no tomato sauce though - just a quick wine sauce with oyster mushrooms, garlic & onion :) Reply
Flavor, protein, small biz, delish! Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Kaylee, the inimitable vegan founder of Zenblends, at the Taste of Plant Based Fest on the southside of Chicago in Calumet Park.

Sometimes, even the most comforting of meals cannot sate a core human desire to feel safe & nurtured.
Still, a girls gotta eat. And so, I pour the box of elbow noodles into the boiling water & wonder if Grama Mabel’s dish more

tamiapple Thanks so much, your words mean a lot. I seem to be vacillating between the various stages of grief, tho I’m mostly angry (& part of me will be for sometime), though as we know, we can repurpose our heartbreak into something better.

sanleeping Totally relate to this . My jaw and my heart dropped at the brexit result .
I do take great solace from this vegan movement and my friends here who understand .everyday we say no to cruelty and that is human progress . I like to think we are on an upward spiral however things appear to the contrary 💙🌀💚
Teddy for president !

We sent our mail-in ballots and had hope for a different outcome. I can't imagine what it feels like now, as the reality is very disturbing - so much so that I haven't slept well since the election. And hopefully there will be the chance to "correct" the course of history again in the near future.

tamiapple Thanks so much - I made two gigantic batches about a week apart and ate it for days (and days) 😂. I think comfort has come from conversations like this, with friends who get it. Thank you my friend, it means a lot. 💔

tamiapple Oh gosh no worries at all! And I truly hope you & Rose can make it there someday – your minds will be blown by the beauty of it all. And I highly recommend getting lunch in their restaurant - even though the vegan options were scant the last time I went (I veganized their beet salad) the room & the view overlooking Central Park (get a booth at a window) is not to be missed. 1 likeReply
