Interspecies Peace

It's not vegan, but I just had to include this photo of a raccoon on our balcony eating cat throw-up. That's little Megan under the table keeping a close eye on coonhead and secretly laughing her furry head off. (I wasn't present while this picture was being taken).





I still haven't quite gotten into the rhythm of blogging; in fact, I'm still trying to make sense of it all, so my posts are very picture-oriented currently. However, I used to be an avid journalist, and I've written plays, short stories, poems, the beginnings of many novels, etc....I don't know where all my words have gone. Perhaps I just need to do some inner-coaching and just coax out a sentence here and there for a while. I feel as if I've been brain dead for the past 2 or 3 years, a sad sad state of human affairs. Anyway, keep coming back; quite possibly you and I both will find out I have something to say after all!





Lookie! I made another pizza. This one has a whole wheat crust, chipotle "cheese" spread, sauteed baby spinach and scallions, artichoke hearts, portabella shrooms, deeeelish farmer's market tomatoes, and FYH monterey jack. Another mouth-watering meal, accompanied with budget-friendly TJ's Charles Shaw Blend Merlot.

Just a few more pics to entice the tastebuds. I think I'm getting hungry...

I'm a boner-fido blogger now!

This is my first post, and I am just testing the waters right now without any explicit literary agenda...sooooooooooooo, I will just post a few pics of meals from the past month. I'm really not sure where this will all lead or what form my "blogging" will take, so I will just ride the wave of inspiration and hope to catch a few good ones! oh yeah, did I mention that I have a penchant for being corny (like, slathered-in-earth-balance-corny)?

I have many more pictures, but for some reason blogspot is being stubborn and not letting me post them. Maybe next time?
