Mary Starts a Newsletter!Remember FIZZ? That was the paid subscription newsletter I once snail-mailed to many of you. This website followed, then my Etsy store, and a page on facebook. It’s getting too much for me to maintain all that while trying to write books and make art. So instead, I am making most of my work available on Etsy, and offering a free, “mostly monthly” newsletter. So check out my new comic strip newsletter for November. Please fill out the Opt In Form—I'm not allowed to just send it to everyone on my email list—so I can keep you up on my latest work.

A Running Start on my New Diet
My vegan lifestyle is beginning with a shopping trip and a report of what I ate today.
What fun! I went to four ethic groceries today—two Indian, one Asian, and a Mediterranean—and a health food store. I came home with quite a few interesting possibilities: two kinds of lentils (red and yellow), a spice mix, a small block of Thai-spiced baked tofu, L'a'rabars, a tub of Better Than Cream Cheese, tubs of green and Kalamata olives, quinoa (a grain I've never tried), whole wheat tortillas, and a box of protein powder.
What I ate today: Breakfast: Fabulous (vegetarian but not vegan) Pacific Roasted red pepper and tomato soup, 1 slice Arnold Natural Wheat Bread (the only kind of nationally available bread I like) with Better Than Cream Cheese and one sliced green olive. Lunch: Home-made "Nigerian Baked Beans" (recipe from World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey, p.57, a lot of work but very yummy), one slice Natural Wheat bread; Dinner: 1 microwaved sweet potato, cooked spinach with lemon, home-canned applesauce.
