Sunday is the day I do my weekly shopping.  This week though, before I headed out to a well known supermarket (that clealy marks all own brands products as vegan where applicable) I thought I would see what was ready for picking in the garden. (more…)

When I became a vegan ice cream was far from my mind.  I literally got through one day at a time and tried to cover the basics – having three meals a day, finding some good snacks & make sure I had toothpaste & washing stuff. 

The first time that I had vegan ice cream was earlier this year at lula’s sweet apothecary in NYC.  After over 2 years of no ice cream – OMG omg it was AMAZING.  It was soooooo good that I went back another day to try a different flavour.  What?  Its for research……

Ooooooh carrots, picked early they are little, sweet & yummy.  Take me to a veggie patch NOW….  Handily I have one in my garden where there are an abundance of carrots growing.  Infact there are too many growing together which means that they all don’t have enough space to grow.

There are many reasons why I like my birthday.  Firstly its one day each year when I can justify any princess demands I might have that day.  No one can say no to me without tantrums & tears and who is going to do that to the birthday girl?!

“Hi, I am a vegan….”  You know how the rest of the  conversation.  ”What do you eat?  Salad?  Can you eat cheese?  No, what about goat’s cheese?”  ”You much be SO healthy” (more…)

Occasionally , having spent an evening updating blogs, the website and responding to emails, you wonder why you do all this stuff?  I have an occasional mini tantrum – stomping feet & toys thrown out of prams.  You know what I mean….

Then something lovely happens.  Like an email from all natural righteous salad dressing…. (more…)

Well isn’t the weather changing a lot at the moment; rain, shine, cold or warm – who knows?  Often its 4 seasons in one day and I just heard one of my cats sneeze!  The veggies growing in the garden are loving the warm/rain combination and in 2 short months my garden has gone from this…
