My Cookbooks Are Here!

Little did I know yesterday, as I fought to pry the library's copy of Vegan with a Vengeance from my fingers, my copy had arrived along with The Garden of Vegan and La Dolce Vegan! If only I'd had the time to joyfully peruse them once I got home but it was not to be. Monday's tend to be long and hectic. Today is not looking much better, but I know they're here as soon as I have some time, probably Wednesday afternoon the way things are going.

I'll be throwing a quick vegetable soup together in the slow cooker, since I'll be out most of the day. I'm planning to give Ruthie's idea of using Russell's TVP sausage recipe in a cornbread crust to go with the soup.

Am's feeling better. The cough and the green boogies seem to be abating so we'll give school a try today.

As for the room changing, I've employed a slightly different technique for dealing with the inevitable unwanteds. In the past I've listed everything on our local ecycle sight. This time I'm being a little more choosy about what I list because I need the clutter eliminated more quickly. For example, I took a bag of books to the library yesterday to donate rather than list them and wait for responses. I'm taking a bag of clothes with me to donate today as well. In the past I've found that clothes and books linger when ecycling while household items do not.
