• Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving! I am so excited for Vegan Turducken: Pumpsquash-o (Potato inside of a squash inside of a pumpkin). Thanksgiving food is by FAR my most favorite cuisine: gravy, pecan pie, yams, cranberries… gravy!!!
• For my student teaching, I am teaching a two week unit on The Crucible. So far, we have played a game called Witch Hunt! (a modified version of Mafia or Werewolf), I have lost my voice lecturing about Puritans for 5 hours, & we had a class discussion about capital punishment in Texas. Oh, and I’ve been wearing striped stockings and reproduction Victorian lace up boots everyday to teach. The students call me a witch, all in fun, of course.
• This week, I signed a petition for one of my students who wants to be cannonized as Patron St. of Chocolate Oatmeal, and another who wants to be patron St. of Pimp Daddies.
• I’m judging the Hello Kitty costume contest this Friday at Toy Joy! Louise Black will be joining me on the judges seat. I hear there will be booze & vegan cupcakes – my kind of heaven!
• Almond, poppy seed, saffron & cardamom soy lassi drinks
• Vegan Thanksgiving sandwich from Counter Culture … mmm boy!
• If you don’t “like” my embroidery on Facebook yet, why don’t you??

In the afternoons, it’s still warm enough for silk dresses.

When I die, I hope I step through a door containing this scene behind it.

It’s a terrible thing when puppies get hurt, but sleepy, medicated puppies with bandages are very, very cute. This is Seuss after his dewclaw got snagged during puppy play-fight.
