I saw this house yesterday and fell so deep in love. I love it's forest setting, it's long front porch, it's windows... everything. If only I could have seen the inside. And what you can't see is that right behind it runs a gorgeous teal ribbon of Santiam River. Sigh.
salem sunsets
2.23.2011
Yes, I'm going there: sunsets. A good sunset makes me almost as happy as a golden full moon that looks so close I may be able to reach out and touch it. Ok, so these aren't filling the entire sky with brilliant color, but I think their reserve in keeping the brilliance focused close to home is perfection.
like vegenaise?

I was looking for a homemade vegan mayonnaise recipe online a couple of days ago and found this great recipe on a blog called Vegan Epicurean that is supposed to taste a lot like Vegenaise, which I love. I thought I'd try it since it looked pretty simple and I only had to pick up a couple of items to make it. I just made some this evening and it's quite good. I did change the recipe some, using more dry mustard and lemon juice than called for, sea salt instead of kosher, and then adding a little bit of Nature's Seasons seasoning blend. I had some for dinner on the above rosemary bread with roasted veggies - yum. Definitely will make this again.
