I posted about chicken soup

February 24, 2010 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

I wanted to see what it felt like to post over at my personal blog, so I did. It’s here.
It felt good to post there, and while I really dislike the idea of letting go of this place, I also relish the idea of putting all the parts of my life in one place. I [...]

Should I start a new blog?

February 23, 2010 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

The last couple weeks at home I’ve been reading so much, and cooking so much, and thinking so much, and my conclusions have been settling quietly in, like new family members.
I don’t plan on going vegan again, anytime soon. I feel badly about this, that it didn’t work for me, but I’ve been trying to [...]

A strained omnivory

February 10, 2010 by hollie Going Vegan

Thanks for all the recent comments. I’m not back to eating meat all the time, but I have been eating more eggs than usual, and some salmon. Since the last time I wrote, I believe I’ve had salmon a couple times, and last night I had some chicken.
I’ve been sleeping like a log, which is [...]

Assumptions I’m making as a vegetarian

February 3, 2010 by hollie Omnivory Pros and Cons

Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments and discussions! I’m so impressed with how everyone is both passionate and civil, and HELLO, if there’s going to be drinks later, you guys better invite me too.
I’ve been thinking a lot about my assumptions about food, and especially my assumptions as someone who has read 60+ [...]

Responding to comments about my meat eating

February 2, 2010 by hollie Going Vegan

Wow, and here I thought no one I didn’t know in person read my blog, and I just woke up to seven entire comments. Seven! That’s about five more than usual. And Rustin, you read this! I really like your writing, I’m flattered.
So first off I want to thank everyone who commented, but especially the [...]

I don’t know if I can be vegetarian.

February 1, 2010 by hollie Going Vegan

So it’s been over two months since I went veg. I sailed through the first 4 weeks. By week 5, I wasn’t feeling super great, but didn’t connect it to my diet. By week 6, I was noticing I really wasn’t feeling very good. Mostly I felt run down, and I wasn’t sleeping well. In [...]

“It’s uterUS, Marge, not uterYOU.”

January 28, 2010 by hollie Endometriosis

Hey folks! Sorry I’ve been gone for a week or so, it’s been a little stressful around here dealing with all the questions surrounding the endometriosis, cysts, and possible surgery. The above quote is a line from The Simpsons, in which Homer wants to have another child and Marge doesn’t want to, and Homer intones, [...]

I’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis

January 11, 2010 by hollie Endometriosis

I haven’t posted in the past week because I’ve been busy freaking the heck out. About a month ago, I went to the ER with pelvic pain so bad I was sure I’d ruptured a bowel, or been fed cheese in my sleep, or maybe implanted with a gut-bursting alien. An ultrasound revealed that I [...]

Dr. Oz suggests raw food

January 5, 2010 by hollie In The News

The Dr. Oz website has a whole section on raw foods, called The Raw Food Challenge, designed to help you transition to a raw foods diet. I’m floored. After the last few years of listening to mainstream news talk about how crazy those raw foodists are (It’s all an eating disorder! Enzymes aren’t necessary!), here’s [...]

Tofu tastes good! When you fry it, of course.

January 4, 2010 by hollie Recipes I Try From Books:

As we all know, everything is made better by frying, especially vegetables. Well, now I’ve discovered that it works on tofu, too. I just went into the kitchen hungry, and thought I’d try another Kind Diet recipe: Crispy Tofu Slices with Orange Dipping Sauce.
It’s delicious! Basically you dredge slices of marinated tofu in a [...]
