The variety pack blog post

I’ve heard plenty of blogging experts say that you should never apologize for infrequent blog posts.  But, sheesh, my little corner of the internet has been languishing without an update for 60 days. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to say.  At least once a week I think, I should really write ab

An oil spill and my shrimp fried rice

I felt extraordinarily guilty all of the sudden while eating my shrimp fried rice from the neighborhood teriyaki joint. I got to thinking about all of the shrimp fisherman living near the Gulf of Mexico waiting for the BP oil spill situation to be resolved. The leak still hasn’t been plugged. BP is

Earth Day: Drink Local Beer

My artist mother taught me from a young age that it’s imperative that each of us support the arts. The simple act of choosing the slightly more expensive piece of art by an unknown local artist over a mass produced print by an old master is a way to take stand. It says, I support [...]

Fresh Box Adventures: Rhubarb, Kale, Mushrooms

You’d think this is a food blog considering the frequency with which I post about what I’m eating these days, but as of late, I am mildly obsessed with what I eat and where it comes from. One of the great things about this move to Seattle is eating local is now so easy. I [...]

Cooking with Chickpea Flour

I have a habit of ripping out the good recipes from Vegetarian Times each month and then waiting for months and months to actually get back to trying them. I was looking for something new to cook earlier this week, and sorting through my stack of papers stuffed into a cookbook, when I came across a

Starting New: The cross country move

We arrived in Seattle on Thursday, after 6-days in transit. It was a pretty great trip. My genius husband had the brilliant idea of procuring some Harry Potter audio books from the library to listen to on the 2500-mile drive, which made the 9-hour days in the car enjoyable. We count that we touched

Laura’s Carbon Footprint is moving

No, not the site — you’ll still be able to find it right here. My actual carbon footprint, along with the rest of me, is moving to Seattle on March 1. While I’m going to miss everyone I’ve met in Cincinnati over the last 4.5 years dearly, I’m really excited about the new adventure ahead. [...]

Being a vegetarian is a good thing

Being a vegetarian is a good thing. Despite adding some fish back to my diet after the vegetarian challenge, it’s clear that my time without meat made a lasting impact on the way I’ll eat forever. For those of you considering including more meatless meals in your life, here’s a great blog post from

I have no internet access at home these

I have no internet access at home these days, so unfortunately, blog posts will be short and sporadic for the near future. In good news though, Jon and I did make it a full month without eating any meat. We’ve now introduced some seafood into the diet, but I’m still eating primarily a vegetarian die
