Lunar Noodling – Heirloom Apple/Butternut Pasta & Sunflower Seed Butter Sauce
Happy Lunar New Year! This time of year marks that particular moment when many of us (myself included) choose to observe onset of a new full calendar reset – and in this case the Year of The Monkey. In honour of kindred primates worldwide, this seems more than an appropriate time to celebrate with the best possible food to fuel primates of all species (including humans): FRUIT! As it seems that ritual accompanies the onset of each new year, symbolism always plays an integral role in the way many of us are...

Happy Earth Week & a very warm WELCOME to the bevy of new subscribers who have recently found their way to this simple wee blog via Lorax Community events & related US Veg Week/Veg Pledge promotional activities! ❤ For me it’s difficult to believe that April is nearly over, and that we’ve already made it through an entire season of fasting, feasting, and (in the case of many, including myself) related spiritual reflection. After having failed (and how!) at my attempt to give up swearing for...
