A pictorial Thanksgiving

Pictorial is a weird word, right?  I’m not sure how I feel about it, but I decided to throw it in to switch things up a bit.  What I’m trying to say is, I have a lot of pictures.  So let’s get to it.
I managed to put together my vegan apple pie using a combination [...]

Mexican pizza, take two

It was better last time, sadly.  But, I did make my own crust this time, using an amazingly easy recipe out of this Sara Moulton cookbook.  She’s my hero.  Well, she was my hero before because I’d worship anyone who was or is or might be on the Food Network, but I like her even [...]

THIS IS VERY URGENT

Have I mentioned that Jack requires a lot of attention?  He is what you might call needy.  Basically, if he was a person, he would have no friends and any prospective girlfriends would dump him after the first date.
When I work from home, this is what he does for approximately six hours a day:
But as [...]

More eggs…

I have a carton of eggs to use up, as you can probably tell, so I decided to make this frittata for dinner.  For once in my life, I pretty much followed the recipe, except I left out the two extra egg whites because I didn’t have them.  I thought it turned out really well [...]

Jack’s birthday extravaganza

Chris was off work today, so I took him to my gym this morning since his is closer to his office than our apartment.  He has recently taken up boxing (not with other people, just a bag…I enjoy teeth on my men) so I put on some gloves and hit the gym’s bag with him.  [...]

Puppies and cookies

Seriously, what’s better?
I was a slacker with the photography this weekend, but Saturday night was a long one and I decided that we needed cookies yesterday:

I used this recipe but subbed chocolate chips for the raisins, and left out the walnuts and flax because we didn’t have any.  I also halved it so it only [...]

More peaches

I’m sorry.  This is boring, I know.  I will try to make something really fantastic and exciting for dinner.
Also, here’s a puppy:

Dogs are good for something

Dry cereal:

We’re out of milk.  I could, of course, go buy some.  I’m sure Chris would appreciate that.  But I don’t like to put Jack through the trauma of getting in his puppy prison just so I can run to the bodega for two minutes.  And I can’t take him to the bodega with me [...]

This is not about food.

So about a week ago, Jack and I were walking past a playground, and we heard this kid scream, “Look at that dog! What’s wrong with his ears? They’re so weird!”
Well, the poor pup was rather distraught about this, as you can imagine.  I had to spend the next few minutes patting his [...]

This is really a dog blog.

I was really busy all morning and therefore slightly stressed, so I decided to take Jack on a little mid-day walk and get some fresh air.
We stopped at a cafe and I had an iced coffee:

And I bought Jack a little bone biscuit:

He carried it in his mouth all the way home:

And then left half [...]
