Rabbit Food In the newspaper

Had a nice surprise to find my book and author event mentioned by Chris Peterson in the local Corvallis Newspaper food section on Wednesday!

Blog Book Tour for Rabbit Food Cookbook - day three!

Day three of the blog book tour! My friend Agnes Barton-Sabo came over a couple weekends ago for a tofu pot pie baking extravaganza! We had lots of fun making two pot pies. Agnes wrote all about it for her friend's blog bake and destroy! They're even giving away a copy of my book!

Rabbit Food Cookbook - new Sasquatch Books edition!

Sasquatch edition of Rabbit Food Cookbook

In less than a month, the new edition of Rabbit Food Cookbook will hit the real and virtual bookshelves! On my own, I produced 230 copies of micro-editions 1-4 and 1000 of the 5th edition in 2007. This will be the first Sasquatch edition, but the 6th version of this little book, now a more standard 5.5x7.5 inch size. This time around, the book will be nationally distributed and available in all sorts of stores and websites, and I don't have to do any of that distribution work myself. Phew!

As you can see, it still has wire-o binding this time around, since the practical matter of using a cookbook in the kitchen is always an important detail to me!

Also new for this Sasquatch edition: I added some new details in the food timeline! There's a new reference section on dry beans and grains and how best to cook them! A new pattern for making mesh produce bags! Tips and drawings of essential kitchen equipment, that I recommend! Bigger margins around the recipes so you can more easily pencil in your notes! 12 new recipes and a few tweaks to and better descriptions for several others! And of course, some new illustrations to go with all of that!

Aren't you excited!!? Tell your friends!

2011 Card

It has been a while, since the year began now, but it's not too late to enjoy my card illustration. I know it's the year of the rabbit, but I ended up being in the mood for cats. :)

Chinese New Year - Year of the Rabbit!

Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the rabbit this time around. How auspicious!

My annual New Year's cards to friends and family aren't in the mail quite yet...they usually coincide better with the Chinese New Year more often than not, though if I planned for that intentionally I suspect they'd not go out until April!

Studio Remodel

I have lots of plans for 2011, but first, my studio is undergoing an inconvenient but very necessary remodel....which is throwing some chaos and distraction into my creative activities.
I couldn't put this off any longer, though. The 1960s discolored pressed paper tile ceiling, wood paneling, stinky deteriorating fiberglass insulation, and color-bleeding red linoleum tile floor were all mid-century retro, but only in a bad kind of way. We found mud wasp nests and a bird's nest in the ceiling when we pulled down the tiles. Nice. We'll be adding numerous ceiling lights to replace the currently zero ceiling lights. This will be good - I just wish it would magically remodel itself in 2 weeks, not several months.
