Today we have a guest post from my friend Karen for her awesome vegan ‘egg’ salad sandwich. She made this delightful lunch last week for our weekly date. She has written a lovely preface for the recipe. Thanks, Karen! Katie and I have been getting together weekly, which has been a wonderful treat for me. She’s […]

Handmade Corn Tortillas
When my mom and I were in Baltimore visiting my sister, Lucy made enchiladas with handmade corn tortillas. I’ll be posting a recreation of the recipe for the enchiladas soon, but in the meantime, here is the corn tortilla recipe. I make corn tortillas in phases–meaning I make them a bunch of times in a […]
Baltimore- Visionary arts, tasty food and a little inspiration
Happy Friday! Last Friday at this time, my mother and I were on our way down to Baltimore from Pittsburgh to visit my sister and her girlfriend. I had never been to Baltimore before and it was so exciting to see where my sister’s living and bop around the city a little bit. We arrived […]
Understanding Anarchism
You may or may not have heard about the May Day events here in Seattle yesterday. May Day is a global day of action and solidarity for worker and immigration rights and there were events planned around the world to peacefully demonstrate in the spirit of social justice. Media coverage, of course, has not focused on the peaceful demonstrations or the politics surrounding labor and […]
Cold Sesame Noodles
This is a recipe from my mom, Anne, who made these a lot when we were growing up. This is a very simple recipe. The dish is served cold and would be a great addition as a main or side to a summer meal. The noodles you want to use might say something like “Japanese Style Noodles” or […]

I can’t wait to share the amazing farro salad recipe from my mom with you, but for now here is the red lentil stew, which is one of Eric’s and my favorite go-to meals […]
Twittering on the Edge
Here I am, twittering on the edge. I’ve finally signed up for a Serenity in the Storm Twitter account. I have never used Twitter before and have generally been resistant to engaging whole heartedly in these social media/networking sites. I do have a Facebook account for Serenity in the Storm, but thus far I have […]
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
We’re coming up on strawberry season and there are few foods that are as enticing or as pretty as chocolate covered strawberries. We dipped about 75 strawberries for the vegan baby shower we just hosted and they were a hit. The best thing about chocolate covered strawberries is that they are extremely EASY to make. The only […]
A Vegan Baby Shower
These past few weeks, Eric and I have been preparing for a baby shower for our dear friends/mentors, Maria Elena and Tony. I met Maria Elena when I first got to the UW and she is the reason I’m working on animal ethics/studies. She is an amazing advocate for animals in the academy and has […]
