another inspired vegan feast

for my birthday the potluck club made a version of the inspired vegan menu fete before fast, and it was incredible. it was a wonderful celebration, and a great start to a new year for me. friends brought many sweet gifts. the bertha planter featured in these photos was picked out by my dear little beedle. we were able to spend some time on the porch after hours; it was a beautiful night.

we ate:

gumbo zav

roasted winter vegetable jambalaya 

black beans with thick gravy and roasted garlic

vegan malt created by adam (this has been my dream dessert for the past six years!)

thank you, friends!

suki is finally sleeping through the night! however, she used to be much better about falling asleep, and now she seems to be afraid of the dark. she says things like "hello, is anyone out there?"- it breaks my heart. i now just wait with her until she falls asleep, but that is sometimes a long time. do you have any tips? were you  afraid of the dark as a child, if so what helped comfort you?

p.s. suki sleeps with many soft friends, pillow cases made by me, little auggie sheets and duvet, a rebe blanket, and a roberta roller rabbit blanket. she has three night lights.
