It's been an inexplicably long time since I've prepared mofongo, and my first time ever making it vegan. I was happy with how it came out. Served with habichuelas (stewed kidney beans). Oyster mushrooms was the stand-in for meat.

I was going through my personal photo archive to find something to accompany an article I'm working on, and legit laughed out loud in the office when I came across this. Because I still share a sense of humor with 12-year-old-me.

Yes, I keed, but seriously, this is a dangerous man and if you're still wavering on who to vote for after bearing witness to almost a decade of Trumpism, then I really don't have much else to say to you.

Cauliflower, potato and white bean soup. Perfect for this windy, chilly* weather we've been having. I even received a rare 10 out of 10 rating for this one. She was dishing out a second bowl while I was barely halfway through my first.

This is my POV almost every day when I leave work. My workplace shares a parking lot with an auto shop. The auto shop has a shop cat. Girly (the shop cat) just *loves* my car for some reason. So, anyway, Girly owns the car now and I'm cool with that.

My first attempt at Chana Masala, and I can't say I'm disappointed in how it turned out. Nice amount of heat, and a lovely mix of flavors and aromas.
