nobody@vox.com(Singing Horse) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:29:55 -0400

I cannot believe I'm still up at this hour working. It seems like all of my posts recently have started with "I cannot believe...", so maybe it's time for me to realize that I should just believe it. This month's Daring Cooks' challenge is very...

Last time I baked with Bread Baking Babes was in May. Then I got completely swamped by busy work and keeping up with the Daring Kitchen. I have never felt right about this, because I love baking bread. So I am really glad this time I got to st...

VeganMoFo 2009 Day #2: Simplicity Brings Yumminess

nobody@vox.com(Singing Horse) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:50:43 -0400

I have made so many different versions of tofu scramble. For a vegan, tofu scramble is definitely a staple food, something that I can simply whip up when I am feel really lazy. It is the ultimate comfort food with the benefit of fast food. You...

My schedule has been getting worse and worse. I simply don't have time to cook or bake much now. I cannot believe my eyes when I just spotted on the calendar that it is the 27th of the month again! I totally forgot I'm supposed to post my Dari...
