Happy Monday, everyone! Before we all trudge forward into the beginning of a new week, let’s take a moment for the weekly Meatless Monday recipe! Today’s feature is one that’s quickly becoming a staple in my household; I’ve actually got a batch in the oven as I type this up to bring with me to…

No, no, I didn’t forget about my attempt to get a weekly Meatless Monday post out; I’m just a little bit slow in getting it up today, enjoying a lazy morning after digging my car out from the snowstorm that hit us all yesterday (okay, well, my boyfriend sneaked out at night to dig most…

It’s finally starting to feel like winter here in the Chicago area; we’re getting those inevitably bitter cold winds and I have a great view outside my window of the prettiest snow falling over the Berwyn bungalows.

You know what would be really nice? If the world could just stop when we’re about to put a new book out, so that we can get everything done nice and neat and on schedule. Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Unfortunately, that’s not at all how the world works, and it’s going to be when you…

Contrary to popular belief, “Cat Puddles” does not refer to my felines having an issue containing their bladder until they get to the litter box. “Cat Puddles” is a phrase I coined when the brutal summer last year left my cats flopped over and “puddled” about the cool hardwood floor of the apartment, managing to…

Rather unexpectedly, I’m finding myself actually able to make it to Anime Central in Rosemont this year. While C2E2 is definitely my preferred Chicago-area convention, I wasn’t able to make it this year, so the impromtpu chance to hit up ACen was a nice surprise. ACen was actually my first con, so it has a…
