I just received “readings”, a publication of The Connecticut Center of the Book. The cover story is a feature article on graphic novels in the book market which I was interviewed for entitled “Holy Hartford Batman! We’re Literature! The Graphic Novel Comes Into It’s Own.” by Kurt Opprecht. It isn’t online, but you can probably get a copy by contacting The Connecticut Center of the Book.
Dolltopia was name-dropped on Pop Candy, Whitney Matheson’s fun pop culture blog for USA Today. Cool!
I was interviewed by John Magin at NY Comicon. Check it out here at youtube!
A did an interview with Friends of Lulu about being the 2007 Lulu of the Year. Check it out!
I was just interviewed for this cool site grrrlzines.net, run by some amazing women in Europe, it’s a comprehensive guide to feminist zines worldwide. This interview is different than previous ones since it focuses more on the self-published zines I’ve done over the years and also feminism, which hasn’t cropped up in many of my interviews. Enjoy!
A nice article about Tough Love (and myself) is running in this week’s Dallas voice. Check it out!
This blog was linked by the excellent comics and pop culture site The Beat today. If you haven’t checked The Beat out yet please do! In other news I made my first Shepherd’s pie which is perfect for the winter time.
It also happened to be my first time making mashed potatoes from scratch. Luckily it was a success. Here’s the recipe, I used Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Grillers Recipe Crumbles for the meat part.
Veggie Shepherd’s Pie aka Shepherdess Pie (serves 3-4)
Ingredients
• 3 tablespoons olive (or vegetable) oil
• 2 stalks celery, cut into small dice, about 1/2 cup
• 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into small dice, about 1 cup
• 4 small carrots, peeled and cut into small dice, about 1 cup
• chopped mushrooms could be a good optional addition
• salt and garlic salt
• 1 bag Morningstar Farms® Meal Starters™ Grillers® Recipe Crumbles™ (or other ground beef substitute or cooked ground beef )
• 1 8oz can tomato sauce
Potato Topping:
• 6 Idaho Potatoes peeled and cut into large pieces
• 1/2 cup milk (or chicken or veggie broth)
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
DIRECTIONS:
1 Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Boil the potatoes until fork tender. Drain the water and mash the potatoes until free of lumps. Add the butter and milk or broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set aside.
2 Preheat the oven to 350o.
3 Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add the oil and celery, onion, carrots and garlic salt. Cook the vegetables until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Add frozen veggie crumble and stir until cooked. Add tomato sauce. Stir to blend while cooking for approximately 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has evaporated.
4 Spread the crumble and vegetable mixture in the bottom of a 3-quart casserole. Spread the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture in the casserole. Place the Shepherd’s Pie in the preheated oven to heat through and brown for approximately 15 minutes, or place under the broiler just to glaze the top.
