I love what you're doing here. So creative and evocative. And lovely photography.

Your Tofu Burger recipe (with accompanying commentary) is hilarious and brilliant. I'd like to encourage you to copy/paste it to your own blog where others can delight in it as I did? I'm going to have to buy soft, silken tofu next time I brave the supermarket. . . def. want to give these burgers a go! (Thanks for the intro to Think. Stew, too. What a witty person and blog.). <br /><br />* You draw lizards? Wonderful. As far as other reptiles go (non-parthenogenic (sp?), have you known (m)any chameleons? (When I lived in Cape Town we had a species of dwarf chameleon in our garden - the only chameleons to give birth to live young - remarkable! My children and I used to look for them pretty much every day - we counted sixteen once. I have photos somewhere of my middle son with teensy tiny chameleons ambling across his face. Loooove them - love reptiles of any description, reallly. Say, have you heard about NZ's Tuatara? Apparently it's the only living creature that still has its pineal gland 'open to the cosmos'. . . It would be great to see some of your lizard drawings some time? <br /><br />Zooden indeed! ; )Claire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-79019545743244100592011-05-30T16:38:24.297+12:002011-05-30T16:38:24.297+12:00Thought process:

It so, 'tis yours. . . ' <br />Like you, I find stones/rocks/pebbles/beach glass irresistible.<br /><br />I'm curious. . . what is it about parthenogenesis that's throwing you off here? Whatever it is, I hope you land on fertile ground. ; )<br /><br />I didn't make the wee lizards, no - aren't they exquisite? I have three of them - two different friends brought them home from their travels - one from the East, and two from Edinburgh. They're origami-esque, in that they're created out of plaited grass. How anyone can work that finely on such a small scale is beyond me (they're approx. 4CMs in length). Reptiles are amongst our most endearing of critters, would you agree?Claire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-1382253276826475772011-05-30T15:04:19.071+12:002011-05-30T15:04:19.071+12:00Hi Steve - I was ever so happy to find you'd p...Hi Steve - I was ever so happy to find you'd posted a pic of an Indigo bunting on your blog. I saw my first of these whilst on my travels in the US - in Williamstown, Massachusetts, it was. AND I saw my first ever hummingbird, too. He/she was in Albany - each of these two sightings thrilled me.
