The second episode of my wife’s new cooking show, Ligia’s Kitchen, is out. This time, it’s a traditional American holiday recipe, Spiced Apple Punch, which can be raw vegan if prepared at temperatures under 40 °C or 104 °F, using a slow cooker or a rice cooker.
Enjoy!

While in the States, my wife and I loved to bike up and down the C&O Canal (Chesapeake and Ohio Canal). The scenery is truly picturesque, particularly along the section from DC to Great Falls. I recorded these videos during the summer of 2008, on various of our biking trips.

I hope you enjoyed them!
My wife and I are raw vegans. We eat a 60-75% raw vegan diet, supplemented with some cooked foods. The recommended ratio is 75% raw / 25% cooked.
We’ve been planning these past several months to put together a raw vegan cooking show, which will show people how to change their diets and lifestyles so they can live longer, healthier, more peaceful lives. Today, I’m happy to say it’s become a reality. Ligia’s new show, entitled “Ligia’s Kitchen“, is live!
This summer, we renovated the spaces where we film the show, I built the new kitchen furniture (more on that later), and last week, we were finally able to start filming. Here’s the first episode, just released today.
We’re filming and releasing in HD, which should really help you see what Ligia’s doing as she prepares each recipe. Even though the show’s in Romanian, we’re providing English subtitles for everyone who speaks it (which should be a LOT of people). If there’s enough demand for another language, we’ll do our best to provide subtitles for it as well.
Enjoy!

During the summer of 2008, we had a fairly constant companion in a small tree right outside our building. It was a male mockingbird, who spent most of the month of June calling out for mates. He was loud, insistent, and didn’t scare easily. He sat in that tree day in, day out, exposing himself to danger from passing hawks and other predatory birds, braving all of that in order to propagate his genes.
I recorded his calls one sweltering afternoon, and only now got around to editing the video, 2½ years later.
Enjoy!
This is a video montage of our 2007 Christmas tree and ornaments. It sat in my “to-do” queue for over three years… but it’s finally edited!
The quality of my filming back then wasn’t quite up to snuff, but I tried to sweeten things up in editing — let me know how it came out.
Here are photos of some of the ornaments you saw in the video.
