Like many others, I have a love-hate relationship with Martha. I do have a love-love relationship with her recipes. While mine rarely look perfect straight out of the kitchen like her styled photos, they all taste good and are well written. I recently borrowed her new book, Meatless, from the library and I am very [...]

Since it’s Ta’anit Ester today, I guess it’s time to start Pesach/פסח/Passover planning. We sort of started last week when we discovered that our local supermarket had already started displaying the pesach items. I was sad because I was hoping for some super discounted Valentine chocolates not my choice of bulk matzoh! In any case, [...]

Another reason posting was sparse these past few months is beyond everything else going on, we remodeled the kitchen. Yes, we. E and I do almost all the work on the house. There are a few things we hire out for safety (gas lines are top of that list) and sanity (I don’t do ceilings), [...]
Hi. I'm Penny. I love penguins, books, yarn, stationary, and muddy trail running. Not necessarily in that order and not always every day. I keep a vegetarian, gluten-free, and kosher kitchen. Many of the meals I make are vegan but I won't hate you if you eat meat.
I post weekly about one of my interests and feature photos of my slightly neurotic but everso cuddly cat Shadow on Fridays. More random postings occur at penguingirl's tumbling thoughts.
