If you ...Ricki,<br />Posture and yoga — must keep at it!<br />If you think the ribs look scary in the photo, you should have seen them glistening on the counter — almost too scary to eat. Not to mention that they are evil gluten.<br /><br />Mihl,<br />Thanks, Mihl. <br /><br />I should try a recipe I didn't test, but I keep wanting to make the ones I already know. I think I might make the salted caramel treats for an upcoming bake sale; they were so good.<br /><br />SArah,<br />Thanks for your comment.

Yoga seems to be helping a lot so I'll keep doing that.<br /><br />Abby,<br />It's loaded with recipes!<br /><br />River,<br />Now that I look at it, it seems like something you would design. You're very clever at depicting animals!<br /><br />Well, who doesn't love starch with a side of salt and olive oil? :D I'm telling you, though, the fries were GOOD! I will rest and crochet.<br /><br />Melody,<br />Thank you. It's much better than it was. The Israeli salad is definitely something I'd expect on your blog — very fresh and colorful.<br /><br />Michelle,<br />The book I recommend — not so sure about the bones. :D<br /><br />Kiersten,<br />My back is on the mend — I just have to limit my computer time, which is so hard.<br /><br />The blog world is amazing, I agree, but it's pretty handy to have so much information in one little book. It would be a big help for new vegans, for sure. <br /><br />Gauri,<br />Thanks so much for your comment. The seitan and broccoli really is one of our favorites!<br /><br />Courtney,<br />It looks like there are plenty of recipes to keep us busy for a while!<br /><br />I used to go to the chiropractor, but the last time I went, I had a bad experience, and I've been a little afraid to try again, especially in a new city where I don't know any of them.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-40677788494023097302011-01-25T16:37:00.583-08:002011-01-25T16:37:00.583-08:00I got my copy in the mail recently too--I was/am s...I got my copy in the mail recently too--I was/am so excited!

Still, it's awesome to have everything in one place, just in case. :D<br /><br />Claire,<br />I actually had to get a new desk at work because of pain from using a bad set up. It was an amazing desk with adjustable height and a separate keyboard tray that was adjustable in height and slant. Very expensive, and I'd love to have it now. I took a class on ergonomics and learned a lot about how not to get injured sitting at a computer all day. You know you can get a hook-on keyboard tray with adjustable heights. I had one at home in Madison. <br /><br />Rose,<br />Not all the recipes I posted are standards at our house, mainly because we're always forgetting about what we've cooked. The seitan and broccoli, however, happens a lot!<br /><br />Thanks for the back vibes. I need them.<br /><br />Jenny,<br />My back is getting better every day. I just have to limit my computer time. But I'm not finished with the design project! Darn computers.<br /><br />Bitt,<br />Creepy, I know. I don't think it would fool a carnivore, and the taro cooked up a little too soft for dog bones. Joni used pieces of food-safe wood for her bones.<br /><br />Posture is very important to back health, as well as to computer work. I'll look up the workshop.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-46706485693414891412011-01-23T19:23:04.769-08:002011-01-23T19:23:04.769-08:00Fake bones!

I mean a real winner, and the fact that so many of the recipes are standards in your house tells me it must be good stuff! <br /><br />I kind of agree with the "bones" for the ribz being ever so slightly creepy...I think I'd give them a miss, but taro root sounds good though; I think I'd serve some on the side or someting and just call it taro root and not "bones". : )<br /><br />All the food looks awesome Andrea.<br /><br />I hope your back gets back to 100% v. soon!

Now I have the craziest setup ever, but it helps. #1 was to get a new computer - because I couldn't change the height of my desk. The iMac has a wireless keyboard I put on my lap. Then I sit in an old office chair with two pillows on it to be higher, have my feet up, the keyboard on my lap, and in general look like someone's grandmother.... but it helps my aching neck!<br /><br />You sure have been busy with the testing. I think I have enough cookbooks... usually... until I see one with such a glowing review as the one you have just written. Especially when it comes to seitan, A's favorite food. I may just have to get that book!!!wingraclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097504486955858205noreply@blogger.com
