Happy Halloween?

Good thing I celebrated early this year (pre-Sandy)...

Yes, me the Vegan, photoed with bacon. Good times!

Veggie stir-fry. Quinoa with sautéed broccoli and mushrooms. Add red pepper, sesame oil, and teriyaki sauce to taste.

Black bean soup* doctored up with corn kernels, black beans, garlic salt, and a bit of cilantro. Heat everything in a pot on the stove top. Quick and easy comfort food.

*Soup from the carton. Find it at Trader Joes

Took a photo tour of Detroit, my hometown. This was my favorite shot.

Sandy, girl.

My interpretation of Sandy as she heads north.

Six down. 6 to go.

Half-Birthday. Where does this term even come from? Not sure, but I woke up today a little startled when I realized that today marks the half-way point of another year on Earth. My first thought, "How the hell can we make the second half-better??" Almost like a basketball coach of an underdog team or the play write of a sleeper hit, I just know there's a few more surprises in store as well as comeback finish to this year. All I can do is be ready and do my best to make it all come together over the course of the next 6 months. But for today, half-time is over. *House lights begin to flicker*
