Links 'N' Things

Weather forecast for tonight: "Sleet and freezing rain this evening then becoming heavy at times late. Sleet accumulation 1 to 3 inches. Ice accumulation of up to one half inch. Near steady temperatures in the mid 20s. Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph becoming north. Gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of precipitation 100 percent." Unpleasant, no? Really, whoever heard of SLEET accumulation? This winter has been nothing but ice, and Dylan's always slipping and falling on her little noggin. That is, when she's not forcing me to take her joyriding on her trike in the freezing cold.

Aren't these quilts cool? I want all of them.

We watched Hot Fuzz last night. It was surprisingly clever and funny, if you like that sort of thing.

I am still enjoying a plunge into the world of vegan cooking and baking. I had great success with corn muffins yesterday, we had scrambled tofu for dinner, and I am working on a chocolate cake right now. The scrambled tofu is great because scrambled eggs are one of Dylan's favorite foods and I wanted a good substitute for it. She loved it, even though it doesn't really taste the same and is seasoned with thyme, paprika, garlic, and cumin. Unfortunately it takes like 25 minutes to make instead of the four that the real eggs do. I am still trying to find a yogurt replacement, because that is really her favorite food. All the soy yogurts either have milk or rice ingredients in them.

Any Survivorman fans? Check this out.

I'm better today, sort of. I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

Where's Dylan?

Have you talked with Maggie H. in our department yet? She knows about all things vegan.

She's the one who loaned me the cupcake book. If you see her, mention that she's created a monster.

Dave is a *huge* survivorman fan, but I think he would be dismayed to learn that when one finally gets to meet survivorman they are forced to get into a kayak and "pretend to paddle." Ouch. ;)

Did you notice where the quiltmaker's studio is? A ten minute walk from our house. Mi casa es su casa. Loving Aunt C.

Cool! We have a field trip for the next visit.

Gilly -- Maybe when survivorman holds events not at children's museums you are allowed to actually paddle? Let's hope.

Oh right, children's museum. That makes a lot more sense. I was so confused!
