Chocolate Zucchini Cake

I’ve been searching for a great cake/cupcake recipe for Liam’s birthday. In recent weeks I’ve tried a few, and although Liam thinks they’re great as long as they’re drowned in frosting, all previous cakes have gotten an ehh reaction from me. Not bad, but definitely not as good as “real cake.” But [...]

A couple days in the life

You know, it hardly seems fair to Liam that I only seem to blog about him throwing temper tantrums and refusing to eat. Ninety percent of the time, he’s super-ultra-cute boy, doing adorable things and utterly charming everyone he meets. So I thought I’d write about what a pleasure it has been to [...]

Burger Battles: the winner

I have been extremely lax in my posting on our vegan blog lately. I’ve been pretty busy, but that isn’t the reason. We also have not fallen off the vegan wagon. Instead, being vegan is no longer this new, unusual, slightly bizarre thing in our lives to write home about. [...]

Report Card Time – post 2

Report Card Time – post 1

Today when we dropped Liam off at school the teacher had his report card ready. Apparently the kids in the maternelle are given two report cards a year: one for the period September to January, one for February to June. I’m painstakingly (very painstakingly) translating his card for you and all of posterity. [...]
