Austin participated in the Worldwide Vegan Bakesale last Saturday at Monkey Wrench Books. All the proceeds were donated to Food Not Bombs and Austin Pets Alive. Thanks to Leslie for organizing the event. Austin has so many talented bakers. Click here for more pics of the massive spread.

Hiatus
I'm heading a little farther down the road to live in Austin, so this blog is on hold until I have a new kitchen to call home. I've been ejected from my cozy cubicle due to "these economic times", so I'm taking the opportunity to try something new. If anyone would like to pay me to dice veggies or sift flour, let me know.
In the meantime, I'm going for a bike ride. See y'all around.
