Friendly Reminder
It's a gorgeous weekend here, much like the one in the photo above, which was taken exactly a month ago. I haven't had a chance to enjoy today's beautiful weather because I've been taking care of E, who was officially diagnosed with the flu this morning. It's the first time she's ever had anything serious, so she has as little practice being sick as I do being a nurse (real meaning: we're driving each other crazy). She's going to be home from school with me for the next few days, so we'll both have time to improve our coping skills (real meaning: one of us will probably kill the other!)
Anyway, the reason I'm on the computer and not tending to my sick child is to remind you that the deadline for entering Vegetable Love is tonight at midnight Eastern time. The entries have been pouring in, so if you want yours included, be sure to get it posted today.
Even if you're not participating, you'll want to check in tomorrow to see all the entries and cast your vote for your favorite. Plus, look for a special surprise for one lucky reader (but that's all I'm saying about that!)
Here's E in healthier times. This photo was taken exactly a week after the first photo, which shows the changing nature of our weather here in Mississippi. Actually, this is only the second time we've seen snow since we moved here 7 years ago, which explains why my daughter ran straight from her bed out into the driveway without brushing her hair or changing out of her pajamas.

You have the most beautiful daughter. (I mean that in the least creepy way possible!) I hope she gets better soon!
Awww...I hope your daughter is feeling better soon--try not to kill her over the next few days!! Good luck!
Courtney
Bon rétablissement à E. ! I work in a school and can tell you flu is killing pupils and teachers as well in France.
Sorry, I forgot this year Vegetable Love, but will have a look at the other ones entries.
Read an article today that said there's a strain of flu going around this year that's mutated away from the strain this year's vaccine targets. Good luck to you and E, but don't tell her that going to school is like spending 6 hours in a flu incubator.
E: People with the flu get to want anything they want.
Don't worry, Courtney. I won't actually kill her!
The thing is, I was scared spitless when her fever spiked and she was dizzy and sleeping a lot. But the doctor gave her this Tamiflu stuff, and immediately she felt more energetic. Now I have to keep her home because she's contagious, but she's bored and restless and chatting constantly. I can't get anything done!
But I am glad she feels better (hope she stays that way!)
Hi there! I just want to delurk to tell you that I only found you recently but I absolutely love your blog, both the presentation and the FOOD! I just made your roasted cauliflower soup tonight and the first taste elicited that little moan that only the best tastes make you do (and that was before the nutmeg, pepper and salt went in). Your berbere spiced lentil soup had pretty much the same effect on me last week, and I think it's on the menu again for tomorrow.
Anyway. Thanks! I'm sure I'll be liberally trolling your archives in the weeks to come. And I hope your daughter feels better soon, for both your sakes. ;)
Ummm... make that "...eat anything they want."
Why can't my keyboard read my mind?
Oh, believe me, she's eating everything she wants! She's had a craving for biscuits, so tonight, after making our "regular" dinner (vegetable sambar) I'm making a special dinner of biscuits and Gimme Lean sausage just for her. She's had hash browns, spaghetti, Tofutti ice "cream" pops, basically all her favorites except Mac & Cheeze and Lasagna. She's planning to save those for tomorrow.
I love love love that picture of the tree. Wow.
Beautiful pictures. Is that the reservoir?
I was in Jackson until last year. Right now, one of my biggest regrets is that I might have passed by you at Rainbow and not recognized you! I only discovered your blog after the move.
Hi Nehaj--yes, it's the reservoir from the Overlook on the Trace. It's too bad you started reading the blog after you left; having another reader here would have increased my Jackson readership to 5 (including my husband)!
I'm glad your daughter's feeling a bit better already - I hope she's fully recovered soon!
Also, I've enjoyed looking at the vegetable-love posts that I came across on various blogs and I'm looking forward to seeing them all tomorrow :)
hope E gets better soon!
and please don't kill each other o_O
Sorry to hear your daughter is sick and hope she's better soon!
As I read the end of your post, I was thinking, "I didn't know they got snow in Mississippi," but of course you clarified that one. Really, you're welcome to some of ours ;).
Looking forward to the Vegetable Love!
Oh! E is so beautiful! What a great photo. Can't wait to see the outcome of the Valentines contest. We decided to go to our favourite local vegan restaraunt, you know, to avoid dishes for a night! ;)
I hope you and E are feeling better soon!
Pretty.
adorable picture! she looks to be about the same age as my DD! hope she's feeling better soon!
