| Happy Dinnertime! |
[26 Feb 2010|03:50pm] |
 We ate such a happy dinner last night! (It was mostly an accident, but once I realized it was making a face, I had to make it happen.) The ingredients of the face are as follows: Eyes: Papusas (recipe from Vegan Lunch Box Around the World), topped with cheese, chipotle salsa, and sour cream
Mouth: Frozen southwest veggie blend from Target
I think the vegan gods were punishing me for de-veganizing this recipe by making me mess up on the ingredients. I couldn't find anything labeled "masa harina" as the recipe demanded, so I bought fine corn meal. Alas, I made water mixed with corn meal! But I added seasoning, cooked it down, and made it work. Another score for Vegan Lunch Box Around the World! Posted via email from bottle-throwing melee mars city street scene </div>

This is the robot-transcribed content of a voicemail left on my Google Voice number by an overseas call center that is constantly trying to reach someone else: "Message horse, obviously. So Mitchell, Hi dude, there's Robert Half. Just call me back at87720968322. I repeat, the number is 8772 a night. 6832. This is disconcerting an important businessmatter. So do bye bye. If I have a nice day." Obviously, message horse. That goes without saying. Posted via email from bottle-throwing melee mars city street scene |

| My Lunch This Week! |
[23 Feb 2010|09:43am] |
 I'm on lunch and just ate some of this, so I thought I would share. I made a huge batch of pasta salad last night, inspired by a recipe from my aunt from years & years ago. I only vaguely remember what she included, but I know it was yummy and featured broccoli, mozzarella, and obviously, pasta. So, mine: 8oz (or so) rotini, cooked until al dente, drained, rinsed under cold water Fresh broccoli florets (I used a huge stalk) Grape tomatoes, chopped in half (about 2/3 package)
Mozzarella, cubed (about 1/2 a block) Lightlife Smart Deli "pepperoni" (about 1/2 a box) Asiago Balsamic vinaigrette (any Italian style dressing would do), to taste Mix. Enjoy! It's super-simple, but I never would've thought of mixing those ingredients on my own, so I thought I would share.

| Top Five Comedies of the 90's |
[18 Feb 2010|05:00pm] |
For some strange reason, our household just went off on a complete tangent and started the long process of making a Top Five Comedies of the 90's list. Here it is, in no particular order: Wayne's World The Big Lebowski* South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut Office Space Dumb & Dumber* (*NOTE: Not every member of our household voted for every movie on our list. You could probably guess who didn't vote for these two.) Posted via email from bottle-throwing melee mars city street scene |

| Homeade Stromboli! |
[18 Feb 2010|03:16pm] |
 Last night I made stromboli for the first time. It was based on the recipe from Vegan Lunch Box Around the World, but with different veggies (and with cheese). I made mine with zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and mozzarella. I thought it was going to explode in the oven, but it was still basically sealed up. I highly recommend Vegan Lunch Box Around the World (and veganlunchbox.blogspot.com)! Posted via email from bottle-throwing melee mars city street scene |

| Destination Destin! |
[12 Feb 2010|04:20am] |
 I actually get a week off for Spring Break this year! And I will be spending the majority of it on an actual vacation! At the beach! My mom and dad used to own a house in Destin, FL before I was born and shortly afterwards. My dad hasn't seen it since then, so he booked a condo and invited us to join them (him + stepmom). They'll get to escape the snow, and I'll get to spend the week in a part of FL I would never otherwise visit. Plus, Brian and I just bought the book Oddball Florida, and a lot of the attractions are up that way. It will be an interesting week!

 The thing on my head is the kercheif I made over the weekend with my birthday knitting needles. It was my first experience increasing stitches and using circular needles. I love the circular needles! They were especially useful to transport the project to Brian's parents' house (where they watched the Superbowl and I sat in an easy chair knitting like someone's grandmother). Now I need to find more excuses to use my new needles. Suggestions? Posted via email from bottle-throwing melee mars city street scene |

| Two Things |
[09 Feb 2010|05:57am] |
(The following is not a paid advertisement; simply a bit of nerdiness.) Pictured here are a couple of my favorite things this week: Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel & Badger Sleep Balm. I'm not an insomniac, but I do often have trouble telling my brain to settle down when it's sleepy time. The balm smells great and subtly nudges me to calm down. And no matter how much sleep I get, I've inherited a bit of the poofy/dark-circle-y eye syndrome, and the gel really seems to help with that. That's the end of today's (unpaid) product placement. Stay tuned for next time!
