See how easy it is to make your own homemade tofu jerky!

It had been my plan to carve a pumpkin the night of Halloween this year, but a combination of laziness and getting home later than normal prevented me from actually following through. After thinking about it for a bit I decided it would not be a bad thing if I carved a pumpkin a little later than everyone else, and so yesterday I grabbed a smallish one and today I took a stab at it.

I first learned about National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) about three or four years ago when a friend was vowing to participate. It sounded intriguing, so I decided to try my hand (or brain) at it, but stopped pretty much before I got started. The idea of trying to write a novel in a month (November, specifically) is still a great one to me, and I salute the book-lovers and word-smithers who came up with it.
