Smug, Righteous, & Crunchy!
In this episode, I recommend some excellent vegan and knitting podcasts, share my adventures at the Wooley Ewe in Plano, TX, with my Mom and Amanda from Craftlife, review Knitscene Accessories as well as The United States of Arugula, recount my dinners at La Toque and French Laundry a decade ago, discuss my use of Google+ along with my podcaster hangout experience, share SEO strategies with Quora, and of course share what’s on the needles!

Below is a pic of the dishtowel I was suspiciously inspired to start knitting just before I went to visit my family (I know it was you, Grandma G.!):
The pattern is from the Pints & Purls book I reviewed in an earlier podcast.
Below is a pic of the finished Damson – woohoo!
…and here’s the pic of me, Mom, and my sister at my wedding:

I stumbled upon your cast using Stitcher Radio for the first time and I really like it.
I’m not a vegan but I have lots of friends who are and my Dad eats vegetarian except for fish. I really enjoy hearing about your life choices and was happy to hear about The Enchanted Brocolli Forest which is my favourite cookbook. It seems like a blog to me, what do you think?
I’m also a knitting and that’s how I found your cast, you came next after the knitmore girls.
I’m also a New Zealander and therefore know the correct pronunciation of the Aotearoa Beret as Aotearoa is the indigenous name for New Zealand. Its aww-ah-teh-ah-raw-ah. Its more like Japanese pronunciation than English. The Maori indigenous language was standardised into a written language but colonists not by the Maori themselves so the written vowels are not pronounced like the English vowels.
Thanks for your cast and sharing your life and your stories.

I’d love to see more discussion about “The Enchanted Broccoli Forest” and other Moosewood cookbooks. They were my introduction to healthy cooking decades ago – I’m happy to see listeners recognize and use them!
Thank you for correcting my awful pronunciation and explaining what that word meant. I honestly thought it was like a Jaberwocky term
like trillig or slithy! In the future, I will do more research even though I will most certainly still botch the pronunciation.
Glad to hear you found me on Stitcher! Wasn’t sure how that service would pan out, but it appears a few listeners have found me over there – welcome!
