Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
My recent beverage book tags made me nostalgic for alcohol. Hey! Alcohol! I used to drink that stuff! Finding Jasmine's Wine Book Tag made me miss the Good(ish) Old Days. I thought about creating prompts for riesling and moscato (my favorites), but that required a deep dive into wine culture I couldn't stomach. ENJOY THESE DRY,… Continue reading Wine Book Tag
Whenever someone catches me eating cheese, I call myself a "flexible vegan." Let's pretend I chose this faction on purpose. Let's pretend the label fits and never chafes against purists' expectations. Let's pretend I am immune to guilt. Giving up meat was easy. The rest has been harder. * Friday night dinners with my partner… Continue reading Flexible Vegan
This brunch train CANNOT BE STOPPED. In honor of Bacon, Eggs, & Kegs, I created an Omelette Book Tag. Here you'll find all (well, most) of your favorite omelette fillings, plus some oddballs thrown in for added variety. Cream cheese A weird story element that worked better than you expected Never thought sentient bread… Continue reading Omelette Book Tag
My dad found a bomb recipe for vegan pancakes. They're GOOD pancakes. Very koala-tea pancakes. I've seen this tag around. Alex's take @ The Paperbook Piano is my favorite so far. Let's get down to breakfast. I'm no fan of David Levithan's. I have been very open about this. I don't really "get" his… Continue reading Pancake Book Tag
I FOUND A TAG ABOUT ICE CREAM. I ate THE BEST plant-based rhubarb yogurt the other day. (Thanks for letting me switch with you, Nikita.) I have a coconut-chocolate Haagen Dasz layer concoction in my freezer. I'm getting hungry. Vanilla A book you wish had more flavor I don't understand...this book won AWARDS. The… Continue reading Ice Cream Book Tag
A million thanks for this tag go to Jenna, one of the most positive bloggers I've ever (virtually) met. Her book reviews will want to make you read whatever she's reading. If you haven't visited her blog before, go now. I'll wait. Welcome back. Here are the rules for this tag: Thank the person who gave… Continue reading The Versatile Blogger Award
Picture me checking ingredient labels in Safeway while wearing a wool sweater and leather boots. Picture me squeezing honey into my mug in lieu of vegan creamer. Picture me wolfing down a Caprese sandwich because the catered work lunch didn't offer vegan options. Hi. I'm an amateur vegan. * I'd like to say I do… Continue reading Amateur Vegan
I found an older post on Beth's blog chock-full of foods I've never heard of. The idea of a Christmas feast scares me (carrot casserole!?), but I couldn't resist the tag. Happy Christmas, Harry. Yule Log: A beautiful edition of a book that you won’t touch for fear of ruining it. I've almost purchased the… Continue reading Christmas Cuisine Book Tag
CARBS! CARBS! CARBS! CARBS! I made fettucine alfredo last night, so this tag I found at the always-great Nerdy Talks Book Blog felt fitting. There's a chance last night's fettucine put me in a carb coma. Guess how long I overslept this morning? Actually, don't guess. Macaroni and Cheese The most heartfelt work you… Continue reading Pasta Book Tag
Over plates of mediocre spaghetti, I hear a familiar discussion start. A fellow Christian (usually male, shaking his head sadly) puts his fork down and bellows, "The body of Christ is so FRACTURED!" The rest of the table pauses. I munch on a corner of garlic bread. "How can we have UNITY in the church," the… Continue reading Solving Spiritual Debates
