Made It

Phew! The work week has finally ended! I’m always glad to see Friday roll around. :D So, I ended up buying more storage space so that I can continue posting hassle free. To post what I did last night I had to delete a folder from Picasa. Unfortunately, the posts those picture’s were in are no longer visible. Grrr…

• 1 cup coffee
• 1/3 cup sunrise blend w/ quinoa
• Crofter’s ASIA preserves
• almond butter

This warmed me up against the cold, wet day we’re having. Fall in Ontario is here.

I got up to no good in the kitchen last night. I’ve been wanting to make Caroline’s vegan pumpkin bread for a while now and decided to just get on with it! Following the recipe I had all my dry ingredients combined in the bowl when I went to get my pumpkin. Turns out I had none left. WTF??? I ALWAYS have a can of that in the pantry and don’t remember using the last one. I scrambled around trying to find a substitute that at least had the same consistency as pumpkin and came up with a jar of apple butter. I figured what the hell, and went with it. The jar was 3/4 of a cup so I topped it off with applesauce. Moving on, I soon realized I was out of oil, too. DOH! I just decided to omit it all together, added a handful of currants and waited to see what happened. Aside from taking and extra 1/2 hour to cook, the bread came out wonderful! Here’s the piece I enjoyed at break time this morning;

It is a bit on the sweet side, but considering all the changes I ended up making, I think that’s a non issue!

Lunch was a massive egg “mcmuffin”;

This beast was a Stonehill English muffin with a LC wedge and a 1/4 of nuked egg whites. And it. was. good!

For my afternoon snack I grabbed a long piece of licorice from the office candy dish;

And enjoyed an Earl Grey tea with a cute quote.

Love that one!! Just before going home time, one of the ladies came around with a box of chocolate from a local candy shop. I choose a dark chocolate coconut piece.

Rich, sweet and just the right size.

Look who I caught sneaking a quick after school snack when I came home!

He was dipping Triscuits into the Crofter’s jam!

Hambone! We had a “grab whatever you feel like” kinda dinner tonight. I ended up with a serving of vegan chilli topped off with Fage (sorry about the flash…it’s dark out today!)

I nibbled on a handful of carob chips to cool my mouth off for a sweet end.

Just before I left to come home a co worker called me up to see if we had plans tonight. He had 4 Storm tickets up for grabs and wanted to know if we could use them. Ummm…YEAH! So, we’ll be off in just a few minutes to take in an unexpected, free game! Enjoy the evening, all!

Bye for now!!
