Hi Herbies! It's Andrea again :] Hope you're all staying safe! Last night, after we took a trip around the island to see all of St. Marteen, we came home and Lindsay made us a meal from her new cookbook. We'll have to call it Mango Noodles for now. Sorry to keep you all in suspense ;)

After dinner we went to Grand Case, part of the French side of the island, to hang out on the beach. There's bars …

Oops!I was too excited and too busy socializing with friends I guess!

**as a warning, these photos were taken with my phone, sorry about …

I was a speaker/demonstrator at Vegetarian Summerfest this year and wow--it was so much fun! Summerfest is like "camp" for adults--except totally veg! My cooking class "Low Fat Vegan: All the Flavor without the Fat!" was a huge success!
