As I get older, I’m liking Thanksgiving more than Christmas. First of all, it’s all about the food, and I love food. Secondly, there’s no need to go broke on getting presents for everyone, or having that awkward moment of I didn’t know we were exchanging gifts… / I thought we were exchanging gifts? I [...]

WTF? of the day
I just saw this ad on the Huffington Post: (Yes, I was reading the article about the cancellation of “My Own Worst Enemy” a.k.a. “The show that makes me want to turn off the TV the second “Heroes” is over”) But what I want to talk about is what the hell is going on with [...]

Whip It Up #5: RAW Italian-Style Zucchini Pasta Pesto
I must be cruising for a bruising. I’m already doing all my WIU recipes as vegan, despite the fact that I’m the cheesiest cheese eater this side of ‘Sconnie. But this week, the challenge topic was “fresh produce” and I decided to pull out the raw food cookbook I bought during the week my friend [...]

I already made one snafu, I accidentally bought vanilla flavored rice milk, because the box looks deceptively like the enriched rice milk that I usually get. I’ve never liked the vanilla stuff to begin with, it’s too sugary. Oh well, I guess [...]

Did anyone else just see June fly by?
Sometimes you don’t realize that it’s the end of the month, and get caught off guard by the AM radio DJ’s as happened to me this morning. It’s especially pronounced on these silly 30-day months, I think. Anyway, I hope your June was as enjoyable as mine was. Especially this past weekend. On Saturday I [...]

5. Thai Spice!
I think I’ve caught a case of the death. I’ve narrowed it down to either that, allergies, severe lack-of-boyfriend prospects depression or Lyme disease. (You know how on House, MD they always think it’s Lupus? In the Hudson Valley, any unclear symptoms are Lyme disease.) Either way, I left work early on Friday and slept [...]

Quick update…
The weather report says only a scant chance of scattered rain, so I’m gearing up to bike to work again! So I’ll make this quick before I go. Firstly: I know you were all so very concerned about the other {Noelle Tannenbaum} who (accidentally) used my social security number in 2005 and caused me to [...]
