We're Back!
Well, there couldn't have been a better way to lift our spirits than to spend the weekend at the 2005 International Comics Convention in San Diego! We had such a fun time, met lots of cool people and made tons of great contacts. We even got to plug the book (the final proof is being shipped from the publisher as we speak!)
We've not been able to update the site for a while. We had a loss in the family and after much sadness and handling of details, we are now officially back... Thanks for the kind words. :-)
Enjoy some pictures from the con -> we'll try to post one or two a day!

Traffic-Crypt
I found this traffic exchange. I think the banner ad is really cool. So far it seems to be a pretty good one. Give it a try!

New Italian Charms ~ Rising Signs
We just expanded our Zodiac line of Italian charms with Rising Signs. It's a cool color symbol for each sign on an "Earthrise" background. http://search.ebay.com/_Charms-Charm-Bracelets_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ3835QQsassZabbeyrd73069
These are really cool. You can do a three-piece set of Sun, Moon and Rising to get your entire "big 3" on your bracelet.
I'm also finishing up creating a whole new Flower Faerie line. There will be 33 new Faerie charms added soon!!
Thanks to all of our customers for your support! I'll be doing FREE one-page birthcharts and personal hand-created astrological interpretations of your chart if you mention that you saw this on our site in your payment comments when you order 2 or more charms!!!

Wine Review: Dark Star Cellars
A couple of months ago, we had the fortune of doing a little wine tasting excursion while driving back from the Bay area. One of the wineries we stopped by was Dark Star Cellars.
We liked what we tasted there, and ended up taking home a couple of bottles. Night before last, we tried Celebration:
"A celebration of Harvest! To make this wine, we remove 100 gals of juice from each lot of grapes that comes to the winery during harvest. We place all the juice in one tank and slowly ferment it at forty degrees during the entire harvest, adding juice each time we harvest a vineyard. At the end of Harvest we celebrate by warming the tank and finishing the wine. This wine was fermented over a two month period."
This is a sweet blush. It's a great desert wine. We had it post pizza as I was craving something light and refreshing. We ended up downing the whole bottle and getting quite tipsy. Well, that was fun. :-) This wine is delicious ice cold. It is a lot like drinking a *very* refined wine cooler. Definitely worth a try.
Last night we indulged in the Ricordati:
"Ricordati (always remember) Is a complex Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (63%), Merlot (30%), and Cabernet Franc (7%). This wine in its ten year history has won 18 Gold Medals and a Best In Class at International Wine Competitions. Deep, Dark, Cherry, Plum, Raspberry, Maple. Excellent with Pastas, Red Sauces and Meats.
Only 750 cases produced."
Now this wine was deep and complex. It's a great red dinner wine. Very leggy and a bit spicy. Give it breathing room and sip it slowly. We're waiting to finish off the bottle with some pasta and crusty bread. At the winery, we were told that Ricordati was named to remember those that had lived before us. Very cool. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5 compared to my favorite reds.
A note to the Vegan Police: I had an email exchange with the winemaker and they do not use any animal products during any process. Most better wines don't these days. I checked for isinglass, etc. I routinely check and I want to encourage vegans and vegetarians to not forego wine due to the widespread notion in the vegan community that 99.9% of wines use animal products. It's just not true and you don't have to restrict yourself to something marked organic coming out of a soy field in some backcountry. Just do your research (and stay away from the boxed stuff :-))

Vegan Mozzarella for Pizza - NEW!!!
Ok, so this is the BEST vegan cheese alternative ever! I just had to say that. This tastes so good and it really does melt. Really.
This cheese was very moist and it grated very nicely. It took some coaxing to melt but it did melt. The best thing though is that it tastes incredible. Better than any other cheese alternative we've tried. I'm sold!
Incredible! Go to this website and see if you can find it near you: http://www.imearthkind.com/index.html I think you can also order online.
Here's our killer pizza tonight:
Awesome Pizza Crust from "Poolish" Recipe
Rich & Red Pizza Sauce
Shredded Vegan Mozarella from "Follow Your Heart" (Vegan Gourmet Cheese Alternative)
Yves Canadian Bacon (soy, vegan)
Mushrooms
Sliced red bell pepper
Marinated artichoke hearts
Sundried tomatoes
Capers
Sliced Pepperocini peppers (no sulfites)
Sliced Kalamata olives
Baked for 10 minutes at 450, then another 10 at 500.

Rich & Red Pizza Sauce
Here's a quick and awesome pizza sauce that goes wonderfully on top of the Vegan Pizza Dough from my earlier post.
2 Tbsp. Light Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
4-5 fresh basil leaaves, torn
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only (remove the leaves from the twigs)
1 Tbsp. fresh oregano
1 Tbsp. fresh thyme
1 6 oz. can organic tomato paste
6 oz. (use the can) water
sea salt (optional) to taste
2 Tbsp. red wine (optional)
crushed dried red chile pepper (optional) to taste
Heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and herbs and saute until the garlic is translucent and the herbs are wilted and slightly crunchy around the edges. (Go get fresh herbs. I see you reaching for the spice rack. I'm gonna reach out of this monitor and slap your hand away. Take your lazy butt to the store and get the real thing. It makes a 1000% difference. [aside: to the 0.002% of you who are about to write to me about the splendors of your spice garden and growing your own organic herbs, I'm not talking to you.])
Add the tomato paste and slowly stir in the water. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the salt, wine and pepper if desired and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. (It works out great if you start this while the pizza dough is on its last stage of rising).
This makes enough sauce for the 16" super pizza. I just scrape it all out of the saute pan and onto the dough then spread it out with the back of the wooden spoon that I used to stir it.
