Not only is it dairy-free and vegan, it's also incredibly tasty! Very coconut-y, of course, but it's made of coconut, so if you didn't anticipate that... then, well. Duh. This recipe involves taking a can of coconut milk and leaving it in the fridge for several hours, preferably overnight. You'll want full-fat coconut milk, as anything less tends to be a little runny (see: My coconut milk … [Read more...]
Newest addition to the Fox family
Finally, after years and years of bothering him, we gained a new addition to the family! Shiny, ain't she! My level of excitement went through the ROOF when it was delivered to me at work early last week, but I didn't have a lot of time to play with it. Only a couple days before we got it, Matt and I bought Nikon D5100 for Dummies, and I have yet to get through more than a few pages. … [Read more...]

So when I see or hear about these ads that accuse … [Read more...]
A Jewish Beginning
I don't frequent Twitter very often, which is kind of a shame -- I really should check it out more often. Each time someone adds my tweets to their feed, though, I get an email notification with their handle and information, which is rather neat. Recently, I was added by @ajwishbeginning. Since I had never heard of them before but was fascinated by their handle, I added 'em and checked out their … [Read more...]
NASA Goddard encourages and celebrates different faiths.
On the first of every month, my husband's employer (NASA Goddard) sends out an email with activities and events going on at the Center, including a list of all the celebrations for that month. One would absolutely expect nationally-recognized holidays to be on there, as well as Christian ones as they're the religious majority. Surprisingly, though, and this was pointed out to me by Matt when he … [Read more...]
