GOOD NEWS
Probably one of the coolest things about a Wii is getting to make your own avatar...notice the similarities between the man below and the man above?

bah.
Oh well, I don't really feel bad about it. They were delicious.
This week is VBS week at the Friends Church and I'm helping out every day by taking pictures and documenting the fun for a daily slide show. I'm not quite sure how I got roped into this because, believe it or not, I am camera savy, but NOT tech savy...AT ALL. So today was a complete disaster in uploading pictures and making this slideshow. Tomorrow, I have high hopes that things will go much smoother. :)
Anywho, after VBS, I was terribly worn out from running all over the church and trying to get kids to make goofy faces...so I scarfed down a Sonic burger (mmm) and headed home....then later we went to lunch/dinner and I had a cheeseburger (and a milkshake!) from 59 Diner. Whoops!
BUT! Here's the plan, folks. Wil and I went to Whole Foods Market today (which is a whole other blog anyway...Whole Foods Market shoppers make me cringe.) to get some goods for the upcoming week. I'm so stoked about our menu choices this week. You wanna hear 'em? Get excited and get ready for some snerious awesome vegan meals. Some of these are recycled from the past, some are taken from various websites (you can see links on the side menu of my blog):
-"B"LTA ("bacon" (tempeh), lettuce, tomato, and avacado) sandwiches with some fruit on the side
-Black bean burgers
-Tomato soup and grilled cheez
-Lentil tacos
-broccoli cheez soup
But I saved the best for last:
LOOK at this baby! Okay, we already have the red mixer, but look what is attached! (Can you see it?)
It is none other than an ICE CREAM MIXER ATTACHMENT!
That's right, vegan ice cream to help cool me off for the summer. I am SO STOKED.
Hope your week is going fabulously.

Vegan Waffles...a little nutmeggy...but oh-so-delicious!
I find that these, like other banana-based waffles, need a slightly longer cook time so they’re not “mushy” in the center–but they’re still very tasty. Using a potato masher to mash the bananas very well seems to help, and the oats help to provide additional structure and binding.

Mix together the mashed banana and water. Add dry ingredients and mix, leaving lumps in the batter. Cook on a waffle iron, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The batter also works well for pancakes, and is especially tasty when you add small berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.) to the mix. To make pancakes, pour 1/2 cup of batter into a hot, lightly oiled frying pan. When bubbles rise through the middle of the pancake and break on the top, flip the pancake and cook until browned underneath. (Note: Test the pan before cooking the pancakes by throwing a few drops of water onto it. If the water jumps around and then disappears, the pan is at the correct temperature.)
Top with margarine, syrup, fruits, or preserves.

Weird baby dreams?
At the same time there was a little tiny baby, like the size of a fetus, except fully developed, floating around and talking to me too. Trying to get the two of them to behave in my arms was quite a task.

vegan breakfast and a not-so-vegan mother's day
Up close on the tofu scramble bit. You can find a link to it here.
