I get it, I get it, they have to be inventoried, ALL THE FRUIT MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE GREAT WORLD OF FRUITDOM, but geeeez, do you have any idea how long I spend pulling these stupid things off? Like minutes. These are valuable minutes I could be spending chastising a congressperson or something….
Black Bean Burgers and Cajun Home Fries: NOM NOM NOM
Oh Happy Herbivore, how I adore thee. After a year of giving up herbivorous ways and trying paleo (this was effective only in raising my cholesterol, increasing heart palpitations, and reminding me why I don’t like eating meat), I have finally gone back to plant-based eating, and look at the lovely cookbook that was awaiting…
Daily photo: Leeks, to become leek chips

My doctor, two years ago this month, said, “If you don’t start eating meat I’m going to prescribe it for…
Resolution #1 – No weigh-ins. Anyone wanna join me?
For years I’ve avoided resolutions, for the same reason everyone else does: they’re impossible to stick to and they just make you feel bad about yourself when you fail.
