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.

Downsizing

This was my fabric stash once I sorted everything -- 22 full bins. I spent a day taking out and boxing up what I could part with, with the goal of trying to reduce it by half, so I'd have 11 bins. I was very strict with myself, and removed everything that for one reason or another I was sure I wouldn't be able to use. This is what I ended up with -- 12 bins of fabric that I'm keeping. It's not quite half, but close enough. Half of what I took out went to a local quilter friend, a school and Goodwill. These four tightly-packed bins will be going to the local quilting guild once I make arrangements with them for a drop-off place. I am relieved and a little sad and now determined to control my impulses to thrift more fabric. I don't want to do this again, so until I use up six bins, I can't for any reason bring any new fabric into the house.

In Progress

I promised myself I would show you the good, bad and ugly of my cleaning this year. This is what it looks like when you dump thirty years' worth of stashed fabric on the floor -- and oy, what a pain in the butt to pick up again! This is what it looks like after it's been sorted, folded and placed in containers, which took me about a week. Now the hard part is to downsize my stash by at least half, I think (that's my goal, anyway.) I've already e-mailed the president of the local quilting guild, a local friend who is a quilter, and a public school art teacher I know to see if I can donate some of the excess to them. The rest will go to Goodwill. Already I've reduced my vintage textiles from two bins to one, and my scraps from three bins to one. It's probably the hardest clean-out I've done, which is why I saved it until last. I know I have too much fabric, more than I can use in my lifetime -- but at the same time, I love it. So I have to

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.
