Jackfruit & Tofu Tikka Masala

We're doing our second round of Vegetarian Whole30, and we're super excited about it. Justin made a beautiful Jackfruit & Tofu Tikka Masala.  He used this recipe, except he didn't really follow it.  Instead of cream, he used cashew milk, and he omitted the butter...

Feeling Juicy!

Im feeling much better today. I didn't risk it by getting up unnecessarily early, of course; had coffee in bed and dreamed of fresh juice. I thought I'd drop into Benefit Juice Bar on my way ho me from yoga, but logistics disagreed.

My favorite.

I woke up this morning in my own bed, half slanted to the right and thinking about how we need to fix that bed leg that we broke before we left for California. I lifted myself out of bed to find myself in front of the bathroom mirror; my hair reflects relative...

Slash & Spread (Part Two)

I am so glad I tried this. Grading the pattern was fairly easy math, and I ended up developing a method that I really like. First I slashed the pattern in 3 parts, then held it together with some scotch tape. Then I used very wide masking tape to join the two pieces...

Slash & Spread (Part One)

It sounds more revolting than it is. I bought a lovely pattern book a few days ago. It is filled with beautiful, simple, feminine style. And why wouldn't it be? It's Japanese! Super great, right? Except all the patterns are drawn for Japanese women, which, if you...
