I haven't made any of the Forks Over Knives recipes yet. I love all of Isa Chandra Moscowitz's cookbooks, though I haven't cooked too much yet from Isa Does It. A lot of recipes from Appetite for Reduction are ones I make a lot. I also really like 30 Minute Vegan: Taste of Europe. I've also cooked a lot from Viva Vegan.

-t, I hadn't seen that yet, but now I want to get it!

I've also liked a lot of the recipes from fatfreevegan.com -- despite the name, the recipes aren't all fat-free, but they do tend to be on the healthier side. [link] does a lot of experimenting with stuff -- his creations don't always turn out right, but he'll post them and post what went wrong and how he thinks he can fix it, and it's a good "try it out" sort of resource.

Hm, that Christmas ice cream at Vegan Dad looks pretty good!

Ooh, I saw Isa do a demo/dinner last year. It was fantastic.

Do I want to thaw out the Pumpkin Bread Pudding (that I don't know why I bought it except I was buying All the Pumpkin Things) to have for breakfast tomorrow? I think I do.

Hey, I have one of those in my freezer too, or at least I did. Now it is thawing in my refrigerator. Excellent idea, especially since I decided I need to clear out my freezer.

I also cleaned out my linen closet today, which I have needed to do for a really long time.

For some odd reason, I have a huge number of pillow cases, and most of them don't match any of my sheets. Not sure what to do with them.

Buy more pillows? That's why I have a ton of plain white pillowcases, so I can have more than two pillows on my bed.

Or use them to dust if you really don't need them for pillows. Also can be handy for ad hoc cat containment - having claws inside the fabric and just a head poking out can be useful.

I actually had a voice in my head telling me to just go ahead and eat the pudding now (and/or the pumpkin ice cream that I bought at the same time) because my freezer is too full, but I'm not at all hungry. So it's a win for rational decision making, thawing it for breakfast.

I should be asleep, but my sinuses are being stupid and my ears are crackling and I don't like it. And all the medicine that I'm taking for it has made me feel kind of woozy, but not actually tired.

Ugh, do not like any of those alone and certainly not all together.

We were pretty reasonable on NYE but then had a blow out last night here in Reykjavik and now I'm more hungover than I've been in years. And today is going to be so long. Ugh! Bad decisions, self, really bad. At least the other 3 I'm traveling with made the same bad decisions as me so we're all feeling like hell on toast.

Oooh, what are you doing today, lisah? Exploring the back country? Steam prospecting? The blue lagoon is a little touristy, but it's great for a hangover.
