It is so satisfying and worth it, and working your oven will keep you nice and warm. Buy it and update your library! Anyway, we are in for a deep freeze this weekend so I thought I’d post a recipe that was a little more involved. Did you even know that there’s an updated Veganomicon? It’s like really nice with new recipes, old faves, photos by Kate Lewis and stuff. This recipe is actually on the site but we updated it in the last version of the book to use cashew cream. This is a Terry recipe from Veganomicon! Can you even tell when a recipe is mine or Terry’s? Hint: Terry is less lazy than me. Feeds around 8, takes about an hour and a half Photo By Kate Lewis It's one of the last small family owned beverage companies around, and it's fallen on some hard times.Īnnajane's "spring fever" begins with her attending the wedding of her ex-husband Mason to Celia, a beautiful, poised, smart, and manipulating woman. She works for the biggest employer in town, the Quixie beverage company-makers of a cherry cola that's been popular in the South for decades. There is a good balance between romance, comedy, and a strong woman figuring out what she wants in life.Īnnajane is in her mid-30's, divorced, and living in a small apartment in the tiny town of Passcoe. Spring Fever is kinda like chick-lit for women who have loved and lost, are out of their 20's, and have lived a little. This is the second Mary Kay Andrews novel I've read in the past year, and I remembered why I liked her writing that very first time I read Savannah Blues.

But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake, And the former was a lulu and the latter was a cake So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, For there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the bat. The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast They thought if only Casey could but get a whack at that- We'd put up even money now with Casey at the bat.
