I slept most of the day yesterday and am feeling much better today. I still have an annoying tickle in my throat, but otherwise things aren’t too bad. Thanks for the great advice Harmonia. I added an extra couple of cups to my day yesterday, and I truly believe that it helped a lot. Right now I have been on a green chai tea kick. It is one of my favorite. I prefer the loose leaf kind, but will take what I can get. I have posted some information on the Vegan Fashion Blog today, that may be of interest to some of you. The post is entitled Vegan Girl Talk.

I am making a huge pot of Native American Beans today. They have been simmering on the stove for about 4 hours now and smell so good. Nothing like some good old comfort food. Even though it has still been warm (in the upper 80s), the highs only remain for a short time and the quality of the air is different. Fall is definitely in the air, leaving me wanting apple pie. During fall, I love everything apple, apple pie, applesauce, apple juice, apple cider. I look forward to some holiday baking soon. This will be my first holiday season as a vegan. I have been a vegetarian through the holiday’s before, but never vegan, and as you all know, the two are very different in terms of baking. I look forward to adapting many of my favorite recipes this year.

I also look forward to pulling out my sweaters, and maybe picking up a new pair of boots or two for the season. I am a shoe person, and just don’t believe that a person can have too many pairs, unfortunately, my budget rarely agrees with me on that issue. Fall clothes are definitely some of my favorites. They are so warm and cozy, like a big hug.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
