in the dungeon on a thursday
Lexy Perez I’m very proud of my advanced students for their independent projects. They’re pretty much on their own. Oh yes, here’s the butterfly update. Did not work today due to a doggie dentist appointment and a tamale cooking session.
Green Lemonade
While I am on the subject of ‘getting your greens’, here is a drink that feels and tastes like an elixir for youth and vitality. The recipe belongs to Natalia Rose, author of “The Raw Food Detox Diet“. This book is a great introductory read into the whys and hows of the raw food diet.Continue reading “Green Lemonade”
Viva La Green Smoothie!

I also realize that they were probably askingContinue reading “Chocolate Dipped Strawberries”
Baja Style Veggie Tacos
When we were in Baja with friends last year, we stopped for tacos in San Felipe one afternoon. Angie and Chris enjoyed the house specialty: fish fried in a delicate, crispy golden batter with the usual accoutrements: fresh radishes, salsa, slices of avocado, and crema on a corn tortilla. Ryan turned to me and said,Continue reading “Baja Style Veggie Tacos”
notes
Every time I see trees against the sky like this I want to mosaic it… And this burnt piece of tree looks like a good luck elephant, no?
