Thoughts on Veganism

Monster:
1. Misses turkey sandwiches
2. Misses cheese
3. Misses being able to order normal things from most restaurants
4. Despite these things, has noticed that most foods taste better

Infinite:
1. Misses cheese
2. Has also noticed that most food tastes better
3. Misses cheese
4. Will most likely end up being a halfway vegan

Monster Learns to Ride a Bike Step 1

Found an old school Sears bike on the side of the road headed for the garbage truck.

Spring

Two butterflies posing on the top of a beaver decapitated tree on our walk along the river, for sure signs of spring.

Making Monday: Flowerbed

We placed logs around the outside of our flowerbed to help contain it. We will continue to post pictures as the growth continues.

Everyday Photos

Pretzel Fail

We tried making vegan chocolate covered pretzels, and failed pretty epically. The theory is that we let them cool for too long and they got stale that way, but we really don't know how they ended up so stale. If anyone has any suggestions we are all ears.

Making Monday: i-pod Cases

We crocheted i-pod cases to sell at ArtiCulture using remnant sock yarn, they are now all on sale, for your i-pod cozying needs.

Co-Op Adventure

We are going to an orientation to become volunteers/members at the Hampden Co-Op. The plan is to volunteer for 6 hours a month and get 21% off organic fruits, and vegetables, when we go grocery shopping. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, we'll see how it goes.

Veganism Take Two

We have embarked on Vegan month take two. We have been vegan for 14 days. Above is a photo of a pizza luce pizza that has half soy free vegan cheese, and the other has rinotta, which is a vegan house specialty. Split in half the other direction has one half of fresh veggies, all of which was very tasty. The vegan thing has been much harder to transition into so far, then vegetarianism. A positive thing that has come out of all this has been that certain food tastes even better then it did before, a little food for thought as vegan moth continues.

Making Monday: Hankies!

We have once been plagued with the colds of the children we work with. And so...

We made more hankies, to keep up with the demands of our noses!
