Love the concept of sanity baking! And, these muffins sound fantastic with the grapefruit zest and juice.

This reminds me of a bento box salad! I served this with mixed greens, pumpkin seeds, sprinkle of feta and yes-grilled chicken. This will be my summer salad!!

Agree with your recommendations. If you’re in the market for spendy meal (maybe for a special occassion), Congress has a vegetarian tasting menu. Green Pastures always has a vegetarian main, often with tofu.

Nutritional yeast is every tofu scramble’s best friend.

Hi Natalie,

I stumbled upon your blog by complete accident. I really don’t know how it happened, actually, but I’m glad I’m here. We don’t really know each other, though we had three classes together, and we worked together on a project for Professor Cvetkovich. There was something about the environment of that class that made me feel close to everyone in that class while somehow knowing nearly nothing about them.

Anyway, I read this, and I was in a similar situation two years ago (near the end of my third year as well) and there’s something in me that really wants to reach out to you and encourage you to allow yourself the time and the space to heal and be happy. Perhaps this compulsion stems from my admiration of you as a student ever since you were that bold freshman in my gay lit class. When I was in your situation, I didn’t allow myself the time or the space to heal. I allowed myself the space to be really miserable and it just made my final year unpleasant. I allowed myself to cry while listening to “Have One On Me” and “On a Good Day” endlessly. I let myself wallow in Woolf. I let myself do so many things that didn’t help me. So I think it’s great that you’re taking a more positive approach to your situation and putting yourself first. For some strange reason, imagining the smiling girl behind the camera is reason for me to smile.

Forgive my scrambling, and I truly wish you the best.
