I'm calling this holiday season "A Very Crafty Christmas." Sounds like a children's book. I am knitting/baking/printing/sewing all presents this year. Should be fun!

I will most likely be canceling my Netflix before the price hike. I understand that costs need to go up, but mine will jump from $10 to $16. I know that $6 isn't the end of the world, but I don't like the idea that there isn't an option to bundle the two (streaming + DVDs) together. Feels like Netflix execs (or those that provide the streaming conent) are getting greedy. I also love that there's no way to contact Netflix except to call. Not that I want to send them a crazy angry rant, but I would like to tell them I'm disappointed with these new charges in writing.

Yep. Awesome cocoa powder. i got pretty excited too when I discovered it.

Yes, I've been to The Meadow many times and it really is a gem of a store. The small jars of salt make great little unexpected gifts. It's also in an all-around great neighborhood (which I unfortunately don't live in).

pudding. I love pudding. In plastic cups with a foil peel-off lid, in a graham cracker crust and called pie... oh pudding.

I'm making a vegan cassoulet tomorrow, even though it suddenly warmed up here in Portland. And thanks for dedicating a week to vegan food! I don't think it's the right eating plan for all, but everyone could benefit from eating meals that are less meat-centric. And vegan cookies are amazing (but not to be confused with health food)!

Bring on the Aardvark! I moved to Portland recently and discovered the Secret Aardvark at a local breakfast joint. Now I'm addicted, but I also like Tapatio and rooster sauce. Can't stand Tabasco though.
