Super Bowl Giveaway: 10-Pound Box of Pat LaFrieda Sliders

Does watching the Puppy Bowl with friends qualify as Super Bowl plans? I'm rooting for the Giants, but the pups, kitty halftime show, and piggy pep squad take precedence! We'll have lots of nibbles and hopefully some sliders.

The Vegan Experience Days 14, 15, and 16: The Wife Effect

I love Robyn's cartoon! Kenji, I have to say that I'm inspired by these posts on the vegan experience. I would like to try something similar, but I'm not sure I'm disciplined enough. Maybe even trying it for a week would be worthwhile. Anyway, I've enjoyed reading about your journey so far!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

I have a chef's knife that I think is Cuisinart that I like. It's still pretty sharp after a few years. I just keep thinking back about the knives my parents had. Can you imagine thinking that the only knives out there were the serrated ones in the knife block??
