sticky food summer.  

I have made my specialty again! Cookie sandwiches!
This tyme they are unvegan, loaded with pasture salted butter and the middles are brimming with daun-made nutella frosting. open the plastic container it is being held in, and you smell the creme filling that is usually in hostess cupcakes.

mandi's yard sale was to-day and i delivered 2 cookie sandwiches to her and sal and bought some ballerina slippers.
the other tantalizing photo held by daun, is a bowl of our veri veri teriyaki udon veggie stir fry dish. really slurpy and sticky, outside on the porch we ate bowls of it with chopsticks and sweated mustaches.

since i got a j-o-b f-i-n-a-l-l-y down here, daun and i had lunch at laughing planet today!
she texted me "me so hungy" and i greeted her in the superman ice cave library.
we walked down the alley and saw leah! with her curly hair in pig tails and proceeded to buy a red, i thought was blue, superman ice cave kombucha drink beverage.

dauns ethiopian burrito was the sauce! it was full of randy lentils, rice, potatoes, tofu...

Biscuits & Nutella Cupcakes!  

Mandy came for the weekend! We walked our little legs off and played in a fountain. we spotted a black winged, green bodied dragonfly next to a woodsy creek. we sat at the coffee shop and ate vegan peanut butter-chocolate chip bars. the chocolate chips on top were goo because the shop was warm. we shared a berry smoothie. we watched vicky cristina barcelona & thelma and louise.
I successfully re-created daun's famous biscuit recipe for Monday morning biscuits! And we had a nice strawberry, frozen banana salad.
I got my hair cut today and bought a vintage $2 dress at cactus flower.
Daun & Chris had another Tuesdate and I had a date in bed with Rocky and some vegan hash. (gimme lean, potatoes, tofu)
We baked vctotw chocolate cupcakes for Benny's Mommy with nutella frosting (unvegan= butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, nutella, heavy cream) heavenly smell.

a study on pbj's.  


I stumbled onto a site called Serious Eats. I searched "peanut butter" of course, and found a study on the peanut butter & jelly sandwich. One of the most satisfying treats, a bite of salty & crunchy (i prefer the kroger brand crunchy natural), a bite of sweet & tangy (my favorite jam being blackberry) all between two slices of wheaty bread that is as soft as a down pillow (i love my P.B.J in between 2 slices of Rudi's organic bread, multigrain oat being the closest to white bread without actually having white flour). So serious eats had this study, a bread to pb to jam ratio.
Here is the diagram and ratio.
1 : 0.6 : 0.3 : 1
ratio of bread-to peanut butter-to jam-to bread.

Just ask my friend
Adree, I make the best damn peanut butter sandwich ever. She once asked me to make her a pbj because I always put so much peanut butter on it and it tasted divine.
If you are unsure, really, how to make a pbj, here are instructions and let's not forget the pictures too.

faerys & chocolate  


I am at Daun's for the summer! (my sisters place)
I have an attic upstairs, I call it my faery attic because it inspires me and reminds me of Elsie's upstairs room on Fairytale: a true story.
I have been watching Sex & the city and I finished Chocolat today. Then afterwards, I warmed up a bar of Endangered Species chocolate and am going to make some chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa powder.
I am listening to Faerie Radio, from the World of Froud site. I started a story today, the first story that I have written where the characters were so developed that I didn't have to really think about what they would say next.
I have decided to delve deeper into Faerie, and study more about it. I have forgotten my Faerie tarot set at home though, down in the country.
I have just found a book that seems of interest, "Little Big" by John Crowley.
I am contemplating a brian froud smashed faery tattoo someday, I do like this one. What do you think?
