NaNo & Vegan Pizza

Made this yesterday:

Much happier now. Onto the food thing: I prefer to make my own pizza, but sometimes it just isn't practical -- like tonight, when I was on my own for dinner. So I tried Daiya's frozen vegan pepperoni pizza:

It's a little larger for one person (I could only manage to eat half) and the crust is on the thin and crunchy side. But the sauce and the meatless pepperoni slices tasted pretty good, and I thought there was a decent amount of vegan mozzarella on it:

The product has a lot of sodium in it, and a little more saturated fat that I'd like. But as quick-to-fix dinners for one go, this is a fair option for vegans.

I'm wondering if the fat content is to make the flavor better. Have you tried the cauliflower crust ones? I'm still eating fat flour crusted pizza, but I just wondered for a change if they're any good.

I haven't tried the cauliflower variety because the market carries only the ones with dairy cheese, which I've given up along with milk. I'll keep an eye out for a vegan option at the health food store, which I'm planning to shop at this week.

Fell Off the Wagon

I did cut up that plastic dollar tote to make into something stronger, but got caught up with work and set it aside. Then last night some hand-dyed silk and pretty threads called my name, and, well . . . Felt SO good to do some handwork, except my neck began hurting about an hour into it. I tried changing the way I sit and work, but it's pretty obvious that the doc is right.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

T-minus Day

This was our little Thanksgiving dinner last year, when it was just the three of us. Time keeps whittling down my favorite holiday; this year it will be just me and my guy, and we likely won't even have a turkey.* That will be a first in 35 years. I feel about Thanksgiving the way other people do about Christmas, and while it's a lot of work it's my favorite holiday. Of all the Thanksgivings I've had in the past sixty years, only three were truly terrible: one when I was a kid that I don't talk about (#1 most miserable); the time I roasted two turkeys together and hosted fifteen people whom I cooked for and served with zero help (the largest and #2 most miserable); and the one I spent in basic training (the #3 most miserable.) I have no pictures of any of those, thank heavens. In addition to doing all the cooking I'm the one who takes all the pictures, washes all the dishes and puts away all the leftovers. I suppose no one else cares because to them it...
