Well … the slow decline into middle-age has started. My eyes are going!
I keep finding myself holding menus farther and farther way and small print has become really really small!! Eeek. 🙁
I guess I gotta get my 42 year old eyeballs to an optometrist… the only thing that’s keeping me from being depressed about my ocular decline is all the rhinestone vintage frames I get to shop for now. 😉
I just added some new Earth’s Herbal Tea flavours to Sarah’s Place.
First is Yum Yum Sore Throat Tea. It is simply, Yummy! Drink hot or cold. As a hot tea is it great for the winter – sore throats or drink everyday, especially singers who want to “warm up”
Next is Tea for Sad People. All the herbs in this blend are calming to the nerves without making you sleepy. Uplifting to the spirit and mood.
And while it may feel like spring is around the corner … we still have a few cold nights ahead of us so why not cuddle up with a cup of Earth’s Herbal Hot Chocolate. There is Mint, Mexican Spice and my favourite Turkish Delight.
Check out all of the Earth’s Herbal products HERE. Hmmm. What to try first? 🙂
Day 164… Mummy. Can we go to the beach today?
I made a “Dexter needs a home” poster … It makes my heart heavy but it needs to be done.
We just gotta find sweet Dexter a new fur-ever home. 🙂
If you’re in the Victoria area … you can click on the poster (or click HERE for download version) to print out and post it in the appropriate places.
Cross your fingers everyone. 🙂
Day 163 … Fergus love balls! Poor Dexter never gets to play with them. 🙂
I could not love my new Heart Shaped Tea Strainer more! 🙂
Isn’t it pretty?

Woot! Beehive Kitchenware is back in stock!! 🙂 Not only am I carrying these fabulous measuring spoons.
And this boss Coffee Spoon…
But now I’m carrying this beautiful flour scoop (or in my case GF flour scoop).
And the Pièce de résistance is the loose tea strainer that is perfect for steeping a cup of Earth’s Herbal tea. 🙂
SPEAKING OF TEA!! You’ll be happy to hear that Rootbeer Tea is now back in stock! This particular flavour flies off the shelf… so don’t be tardy to the rootbeer pardy! 🙂
I was cleaning out my office the other day and found a cardboard box FULL of 2010 GoVegan calendars. Eeeep! So rather then toss the calenders I decided to reduce, reuse and get crafty with them.
Each journal has been hand-made/cut/bound by me in my kitchen and contains approx 100 blank pages (made with re-cycled paper). Also included in each journal is a recipe from the calendar (see HERE for details). Cover is card-stock. Journals are 6×9 inches.
100% of the proceeds from these journals will go to Dexter the dachshund who is a foster dog currently staying with us. Dexter came from a neglected house (you can read more about his circumstances HERE) and in an attempt to offset some of the costs of caring for Dexter I am selling these journals. 🙂

Want a recipe with easy to find ingredients that can be made in about 30 minutes?
How about the Cilantro Ginger Tempeh Noodle Toss from the 10th anniversary edition of How It All Vegan? 🙂
This delightful meal can be served over rice noodles or a grain of your choice.
In a food processor blend together the cilantro, tomato, hot peppers, ginger and lime juice. Set aside.
In a large saucepan on medium heat, saute the tempeh in sesame oil for 3-5 minutes or until tempeh starts to brown. Stir in the coconut milk, eggplant, broccoli, salt and turmeric and let simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until eggplant is cooked and sauce starts to reduce (stir occasionally). Turn off heat and stir in cilantro mixture and peas, cover with lid, and let sit 5 minutes.
While vegetables are cooking, in a large pot of salted water, boil the rice noodles. Drain, rinse with hot water, and return to pot. Toss noodles with a splash of dark sesame oil and set aside. Serve vegetables over rice noodles. Makes 2 large or 4 small servings.
This recipe is available in the 10th anniversary edition of How It All Vegan – available for sale HERE.
