I haven’t even bothered unpacking from Dallas last week, because I’m turning right around and flying to New York this week. A day in New York City to have a 3-hour lunch with my editor (it’s our annual lunch, so there’s always a lot to catch up on–even though we just talked two weeks [...]
I think you should try to tackle Tim Green. Seriously! That would be a lot of fun for everyone to watch.
I just talked to someone yesterday who’s superpsyched that Tim Green will be there. I’m going to try a kibbying move on him–hoping you’ll tell me what to do, P.
Can’t make it to either, alas, but you’re speaking in Michigan at some point between April 15 and April 17, yes??? I will lure you there with vegan chocolate zucchini bread if I must!
And, as a Michigan girl born, bred, tried to get out, failed, and expecting the next job to be with the Greater Antarctica Public Library, I can give you lessons in how to live with 50 degrees and rain.
Elizabeth, I will happily take you up on both offers: Yes to the vegan chocolate zucchini bread (I hope you’re serious!) and yes to hints about how to dress, which means really how to pack. I want to do this whole thing in a carryon bag, and it’s sounding more and more like I need bulky winter clothes! Will plastic bags do instead?
Robin, the one thing I haven’t solved in making the chocolate zucchini bread entirely vegan is the eggs. I just haven’t found an egg substitute for baking that doesn’t give me mad texture issues. Do you have a preferred brand?
The good thing about MLA-Spring Insitite is that it’s all youth services librarians, who tend to be (in my experience) more casual than your typical librarians. No shushing here, in fact, first night of SI is always a mad karaoke party (for me, strictly a spectator sport). My favorite conference gear tends to be nice khakis with button-down shirts and my tennis shoes and cute socks if I have to be dressy, but at SI, jeans with library t-shirts and hoodies would probably go unnoticed. Except maybe that bit where they’ll make you eat up on a platform in front of people since you won an award.
The best egg substitute for regular baking is Ener-G. You can get it at places like Whole Foods. It’s a potato starch, of all things, and you add an appropriate amount of water (like 3 T for one “egg”) and no one will every know the difference. I make cookies with that all the time–see earlier posts re too many cookies–and no one ever knows they’re eggless.
Thanks for the clothing tip. I’ll work it out!
I know. The Cookie Gods know.
AS long as you can live with that karma.
