flight cancelled....

So, we were going to head to to SLC this evening.....but our flight was CANCELED due to the left engine's de-icer breaking and the parts to fix it were in Minneapolis and they thought they might stick them on a plane into Fargo to get them there later and fix it and the flight would only be delayed a few hours.....but the weather in Mnpls was HORRIBLE so that didn't happen and there were no other flights leaving Fargo at all after "ours" so......we're flying out so SLC early Monday morning and they bumped us up to FIRST CLASS!!! wOOt! So.....we'll see you Sabins on Monday at 7:45 AM!

Mushroom Burgers! Delish!

We've been experimenting with various veggie burgers since turning vegan and I believe we've come to conclude that mushroom burgers are the best. Garbanzo bean burgers were OK, but not flavorful enough. We haven't made black bean burgers at home yet, but they've been good from restaurants/frozen. While in Winnipeg this October we stumbled across Boon Burger Cafe and have since been trying their different burgers to learn what the various innards taste like. The food has only been delicious and I wish it was located in Fargo :(.
We've been working on tweaking a mushroom burger recipe based off of this one from FoodNetwork. Look at the beautiful browning as it cooks!



Here's the mushroom burger on a pita with tomatoes and sesame fries (leftovers from Boon Burger Cafe....YUM!). I'm getting hungry just thinking about this.....looks like I know what we'll be eating for supper!

No Shave Nov-scratch that. No Shave Autumn

As I write this I am realizing just how ENORMOUS my jaw and face is... well these are the results from "No-Shave November" (and October, for me.) I decided that I can't quite pull off the beard yet, which is unfortunate. I've decided that I will just rock the baby face for the rest of the year. It's all gone now. Yes, I am starting a new ritual - if I can't grow a decent beard then I will have no facial hair at all for the rest of the year. It's all or nothing for me. Amen.

QueInteresante expands


The Sabin's home business is expanding! We now have a blog and a non Etsy website where people can purchase the labels with their credit cards and don't need to set up and Etsy/Paypal account. Luke has also been doing some great design work on the logos and banners, as you can see. So follow our OTHER blog if you like and spread the webpage around!

Morning Frost


As I (Charlene) threw my apple core into my compost bucket (my students one time called me a professional hippie.....and I can't really argue against that) I saw some lovely frost!
So I took some pictures.


The pictures above are the trees at the end of our driveway and the neighbors trees and the picture below is the lilac bush "fence" between us and our neighbors.
