MOVING DAY!!!...Readers Take Note

I've decided to abandon this fabrical fanatical blog, and start anew.

I'm not feeling excited about blogging these days, and I'm hoping a more philosophical and expanded daily (almost) blather spot will get me going again.

No Wedding Bells, But Lotso Cake

Phoebe is the la-de-dah pooftah on her deck chaise. Don't you forget it. And don't even think about moving her off of her spot!


Well, yesterday was the big finale of my needle felting and cake making extravaganza.

I needle felted a cake topper that was a replica of his dog and her cat, both with leis (they spend lots of time in Hawaii).

The dog wore wire rimmed glasses (like Patrick), and the kitty wore a bride's veil (unlike Lillian).

The furry couple was quite a hit!





My dear friend from across the river, Lillian Halseth, married Patrick Taylor on her beautiful deck.


The day was clear, warm, and perfect for a wedding by the river.

Yikes! I'm Turning Into a Vegan!

So I tried another recipe from "Vegan with a Vengeance." It's called "Orange Ginger Baked Tofu," and is ever good.

I served it over Jasmine rice with baked mango on the side, and some steamed veggies. The tofu marinade is made with ginger, garlic, jalapeno, mangos, orange and lime juices, allspice, salt and pepper.

This vegan diet is darned good!

Blew Berries

This was a lazy Sunday.

I decided to use my new "Vegan with a Vengeance" cookbook to make blueberry pancakes for breakfast.











They were outstanding... made with soy milk, no eggs, and home grown blueberries. Luckily the recipe made only a small batch. If there had been more we'd still be out on the deck stuffing ourselves.

Yummmy!
