Valentine's Day = Aphrodite's Feast

I know that many people hate Valentine's Day. Or at least, some very vocal folks complain about it throughout the internets. But I love it, and take it as a special time to honor Aphrodite. Look at it as a time to honor all kinds of love, not just romantic & sexual. A friend could always use a little heart-shaped card & a bit of chocolate. Aphrodite is also Lady of the Beasts, so take your doggie for TWO walks on 2/14. Get your kitty a feathery toy.

And there is everything good about self-love: Every time you masturbate, the Goddess finds a good home for a little kitten.

So let's open up Heart Day & make it into Aphrodite's Feast! I'm planning a fabulous menu for Tuesday. Let the festivities begin....

Just finished the Yule left-overs...collard green "purses" filled with faux ham, onions & mushrooms, mashed potatoes & chickpea gravy, a wickedly good chocolate mint mocha marzipan trifle. Feeling full of comfort & joy, (and just full, as in sated :) like these foxes and kitty...

Peace from The Wizardess

MmmmmmMidSummer

A fun, relaxing, nourishing MidSummer celebration:

Beans & Greens - bitter dandelion greens cooked with creamy white beans

Sauteed Summer Squash - phallic baby zukes & yellow squash suns

Balcony Herb Salad - cilantro, basil, chives, thyme, tossed with pea shoots, with a dollop of Veganaise

Coconut milk ice cream filled mochi - flavored with mango

Sparkling water

We cooked it, we ate it, it was vegan, it was delectable!

While we watched 7 Dwarves or 7 Zwerge. Get ahold of this one. It is a lovely re-telling of Snow White with dollops of other fairy tales thrown in. In German with English subtitles, but they are easy to follow. It is just a lovable, pretty, silly movie with fantastic sets & lots of weiner jokes. Do see!
