VTD: Always Tasting: About Christine

http://veggietestdrive.blogspot.com/p/about-christine_20.html

It's been more than five years since I went vegetarian. Again. Instead, I'm building a repertoire of vegetarian recipes that my (still) carnivorous husband and I can happily share for dinner. George is starting to enjoy his vegetables, something he avoided at all costs. (When I met him, he ate packaged salads drenched in ranch and the occasional side potato that flanked his steak. Mmmm.). It's been a weird, potholed road, but we're still riding it. You're welcome to tag along. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Christine Reads: Review: Creative, Inc.

http://reviewsbychristine.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-creative-inc.html

Thursday, November 18, 2010. Review: Creative, Inc. When my sister and I run the world, all college students, no matter their chosen field, will take a basic business course as part of the mandatory freshman curriculum. Having zero business skills is a good way to invalidate any degree. In the freelance world, there’s much more to staying financially afloat than having all the necessary skills to pull off excellent work. Offers everything else you’ll need to begin freelancing full time. I'm Currently Rea...

Christine Reads: Review: The Handmade Marketplace

http://reviewsbychristine.blogspot.com/2011/03/review-handmade-marketplace.html

Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Review: The Handmade Marketplace. Crafters are a genial bunch, helpful at the core. So who better to ask for business advice than several dozen of your crafting peers? Is a commonsense guide to beginning a craft business given in an organized, start-to-finish format with pop-in tidbits from more than 20 craft-friendly neighbors. A few years ago, I launched a knitting business, selling hand-knit wares at craft shows and one brick-and-mortar store, which swiftly folded. If I'd...

Christine Reads: Conversationally Speaking

http://reviewsbychristine.blogspot.com/2011/03/conversationally-speaking.html

Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Ah, you’re back. I know, I know. My caffeine high wore off and I couldn’t focus properly on your fuzzy green sweater anymore. I wonder where you go when I’m not paying attention to you…. Oh, but I don’t mean to interrupt. You’re leaning forward like you want to ask me something, tucking that wayward strand of reddish hair behind your ear as you frame your question. Where do you find the time to read? I shrug. Took me one week to blow through The Help. What about audio books?

Monday, January 24, 2011. Review: The Vegetarian Option. Laid out a bit like your grandmother’s holiday table — everything in its carefully doilied place —,.

Christine Reads: Review: A Fistful of Lentils

http://reviewsbychristine.blogspot.com/2010/01/review-fistful-of-lentils.html

Tuesday, January 5, 2010. Review: A Fistful of Lentils. A curious legacy of Syrian and Jewish recipes, riddled with photos and a meandering family history, A Fistful of Lentils. Is much more than a simple cookbook. It's part memoir, the family memories wrapped up in food as so many good things are, and part how-to, divulging the secrets of Abadi's childhood Syrian-Jewish cuisine. Showcases the balance and singular palate of the Syrian cuisine. View book at Barnes and Noble. The Shore by Sara Taylor.
