Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Boinked my funny bone this morning at 9:00 A.M. Now past two pm and still aching. Stupid nerves, don't they know that particular pain is not supposed to last more than 15 minutes?

Things not to do the week after having bronchitis: Take a group home full of developmentally disabled adults on a hike.

Not going into details about how bad an idea it was. It was a beautiful day, too gorgeous and mild to waste. We had to take advantage of it. And I so wanted it to work. It was my idea. Stupid weak bronchial tubes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just made some raw(ish) chocolate pudding. It's really good, and really easy, but I probably shouldn't make it too often, since this is a recipe that I most often see recommended for vegan toddlers who just switched from nursing to regular food and aren't gaining enough weight. (It's basically mashed avocado, cocoa powder, vanilla, and maple syrup. It doesn't taste like avocado at all, just like chocolate.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ooh, that sounds delicious. How strong is the maple flavor?

It's not very mapley. And you can use other sweeteners, too. I was inspired by this blog post [link] and the box of frozen avocado that I bought at TJ's a few weeks ago and hadn't yet figured out what to do with. (I didn't use the fancy raw cocoa powder that she uses.)

I am totally making that the next time I buy avocados.

That blog can be interesting. They've got five kids, ranging from toddler to preteen, whose diet is entirely vegan and mostly raw. It looks like they feed the little ones tons of avocado and nuts and flax to get enough fat into them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I thought a lot of the raw food movement was discredited, what with so many plants having natural defenses against being eaten which are only broken down by being cooked.
