i can't keep my pants clean...when you bake me cakes  

ultimate laughing planet dinner with TyLea. our glittered eyes made us think we saw moths. underwear shopping at target, salty salty spicy jalapeno guac at the l.p. restaurant. tylea had a classic burrito with pinto beans, and secret sour cream tucked inside. i had my veggie burger with really melty hot soy cheez on top, the tastiest burger and best trip to laughing planet, at night right before quittin' time. stepped in deep puddles to and from. ANDY D! at rachael's cafe around midnight, playing golf with tylea.
danced
danced

leo birthday sweets.  


The round balls were made for Taylor, her 13th birthday. they are chocolate cake balls with my fudge cocoa frosting, a layer of caramel frosting, and rainbow sprinkees.
The white cake is a white cake for dad's birthday, happening today. he is 52 today.
The white cake recipe is from vegan cupcakes take over the world, and the frosting is a roux first, then sugar-butter mixture from the farm's cookbook.
butter & eggs flowers on top and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

"i love GAS!"-julia.  

Spent the night with julia the other night and we had luscious curry dinner-supper.
tons of veg from her fridge; mushrooms, baby corn, fresh basil from the windowsill, carrots, a whole onion!, fresh ginger, garlic i believe, cauliflower.
and thin ! thin! rice noodles.
and her economy packs of jarred coconut milk curry sauce.
mmm mmmm mmmmm. better the second time while watching mulholland dr. with toasted sourdough!

green dirty home dish  

my wheat spaghetti had meal worms. so i couldn't use it. i had mixed up wolffie's nutritional yeast cheez sauce and had the water boiling. all i had was green noodles from japan.
buckwheat green tea japanese noodles with vegan cheez sauce and curry ketchup. mmmm der-tee
it was good last night but not looking so good today. i think spaghetti makes me sick now, or was it too much honey with breakfast?

a sandwich for Old Rabies  

Came back into town on monday.
stopped at Bfoods. DADDY! bought me a bag of veggie booty and a grab n' go blackened tofu sandwich [my favourite flavoured sandwich]
daun and i have also discussed the amount of veggie booty in 1 bag, we agree that we would pay any amount of money for any amount in the bag, but agree that they need to double the amount [of powdered spinach-sugar snack] to about 8 oz. instead of a measly 2 serving 4 oz. bag when the back of the bag states there are 4 servings. bullshit.
