I’ve mentioned before that Remedy Teas is one of my all-time favorite spots for tea, lunch, toast and general hanging out. Well, it still is! And one of my favorite things on their menu is their TNT Detox drink. It’s made with turmeric, lemon, ginger, and cayenne and it’s very spicy and delicious. You can order it […]

Book Reviews Galore!
Today, our dear friend Karen has her first book review over at Our Hen House. She reviewed What the Animals Taught Me: Stories of Love and Healing from a Farm Animal Sanctuary by Stephanie Marohn. I haven’t read the book, but I’m interested in doing so after reading Karen’s review. On a similar topic, I […]
Smoky Spiced Lentils and Rice
Happy Friday! I don’t know about you all, but it’s been a long, tiring week and I’m looking forward to the weekend. If you’re feeling a little weary, like I am, this is a great comforting and nourishing dish that is packed with flavor and so easy to make. Plus, the cooking time is 50 minutes, which […]
Adventures in Tandoori Roasted Cauliflower
First, thank you so much to all who voted for Pigs Peace. They will be awarded $10,000 thanks to all of your votes. Woohoo! Secondly, I woke up yesterday morning and this recipe popped up in my Google Reader as I was eating breakfast—Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Mint Chutney and I was like, wait… WHAT?! I […]
Gearing up for Teaching & Understanding Doublethink
School starts on Monday and I’m excited to say that I’m going to be teaching the course, ‘Animals, Ethics, and Food: Deconstructing Dominant Discourses’ again. I’ve tweaked the syllabus from last time and I hope it’s an improvement. Last winter’s teaching adventure was one of the best experiences I’ve had at the University of Washington and […]

Sitting Quietly at a ‘Cull Market’ Auction
Every now and then, I’m deeply ashamed to be part of the human species. Last Wednesday was one of those days. I went to a cull market auction with my friend Tish, who kindly agreed to go with me and who, afterward, wrote a very nice post about buddy system research on her blog. We arrived […]
Strawberry Banana “Softserve”
For my birthday, my sweet sister sent me this nifty softserve ice cream maker. Thanks, Lucy! When we were kids, my uncle was a raw foodist and, when we would visit, he would use his Champion juicer to make this amazing ‘ice cream’ out of only frozen bananas. This has been an amazing treat in the raw […]
Awesome Arugula Salad
The salad that went along with yesterday’s soup is a little crazy how good it is, considering how easy it is to make. Trying to recreate the nectarine soup and this salad was a fun challenge. I really had no idea how they were made, but in the end I think both recipes really get the […]
Roasted Nectarine Coconut Soup with Cardamom
When my mom was here visiting, she took us out for an absolutely amazing meal at Sutra in Wallingford. I’ve blogged about Sutra before. This, though, was by far the tastiest meal we’ve had there to date. The first course was a cardamom grilled nectarine coconut soup with an arugula salad on the side. Oh man, was […]
