First, we have: Sunergia Soy Feta Cheese Alternative First of all, I’m sure for all you “non-vegans” out there, it’s impossible for you to even imagine eating any sort of vegan cheese. And now I’m talking about vegan FETA cheese! I read about this a few […] Read more…

Holiday Skating Party
Last night we had our company holiday party. Pretty good, I think, for a company who’s financial stress at the end of last year didn’t afford us a holiday party. Even better was the fact that this year the party included family members – including children! Topping that was that the party was held at […] Read more…

Meatless Monday – Vegetable Soup over Rice or Noodles
I’m in soup mode again. I apologize…I think. Considering my daughters and grandsons just devoured bowls of it, I think I should re-consider an apology.

I thought I knew everything about tree decorating. I mean, I did decorate no less than 4 trees in my home this year alone (all different themes). But these guys: Hunter, aka sweet smile and taught me something totally new the other evening. Before the ornament gets put onto the tree…. I now believe I […] Read more…
