I was pleasantly surprised. It is the kind of animal advocacy book that is well suited to a meat eating crowd because it touches on all aspects of animal cruelty. It doesn't ever feel like an attack on meat eaters like some animal advocacy and vegan literature can, but makes the reader aware of how things really are. It's also great because in addition to the sad truths, there are good stories as well as positive changes for the future. If you get a chance, I definitely recommend it.
This weekend we stopped at Skylight Books, where Derick bought me this. . .
I've been wanting to check this book out for quite a while. I started thumbing through it over the weekend, and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes.
It's mostly raw too!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend, and hoping the weather will be sunny. Last weekend was filled with fun projects, and I hope to get more gardening done this weekend.
These little dudes are much bigger now and are begging to be put into the ground soon.
The window herb garden is coming along nicely as well. . .
We also started some more seeds in our mini greenhouse last weekend too. A few tiny pots each of celery, watermelon, chamomile, onion, carrots, and anise.
I had seen a number of small greenhouse/seed starter kits in various stores, and figured I could do the same thing at home. We saved the big plastic box from the spinach and put all our little pots in it. I peeked in this morning, and the chamomile pots had lots of little green dots in them. So excited!!
This yummy stuff will be ready this weekend as well. . .

I made it myself! It was really easy too. We just soaked our nuts (teehee).
Then we put them in the food processor, which we soon found out was not the ideal tool for the job.
(This was just before the water went everywhere!!!)
Instead, we put the water and almonds in a tall container and hit it with the immersion blender. It worked beautifully.
Then we poured it all into the pitcher lined with a mesh bag. Like so. . .
Then lift the bag out and squeeze all the milk out of the pulp. It's pretty awesome as is, but we decided to add a small amount of vanilla extract for extra awesome.
Delish!
