Lily and her lentils. What a lovely chef.

















Recovering from the annual Halloween hangover has never been so easy as it was this year. Our good friend, Miss Lily Herman, hosted an Autumnal Feast on All Saints Day that blew my socks off, vegan-style.

We started with lentil vegetable soup, followed by roasted apples, roasted butternut squash, and delicious guacamole with jalapenos, which was made by Lily's longtime friend and roommate Miss Chelsea Brown. (Though Chels claims her mom made it, I'm going to go ahead and give her the credit ;) ). Lily also made some amazing flax seed cookies for dessert. I think I had five.

Talk about a lovely meal. I believe when something is made by caring and deliberate hands, it just tastes better. You taste it in your soul. Yeah, that's cheesy but that's how I feel and oh boy, did I feel that way yesterday. It was cool out, typical for the season, nip in the air. The apartment was warm and smelled like earthy things. And I doubt very much that I'll forget that evening spent with friends and good food.

Thanks, Lil.
