OK, so I just got off the phone with my mom - who had made a comment about how she didn't know what I was up to because I wasn't updating my blog.

Wow. Welcome to the 21st century, Molly. Not only does your mom read your blog, she expects regular updates. I don't know if I can live up to this kind of pressure (sarcasm).

So here's what I've been up to: not much!

Sausage - The Finale!


Yes, that rectangular stuff is deep fried tofu. How did I do it on my tiny stove? I have no idea...


I packed myself a lunch - an almond butter and honey (not vegan) sandwich with sliced apples!

I visited the guys' place for the first time in a long time (without VegAnn there to support me).

And I lived! (The sky was pretty that night)

And I spent Sunday March 13 peeling, grating, and frying potatoes!

Yum yum yum! Looks kinda like rice noodles!

I added some lemon juice (to keep it from turning brown), flax seed (to pretend it was healthy), 16 tablespoons of olive oil (to fry those babies), salt, and pepper.

So, maybe my pictures are a little blurry - but by this point, I had been working on them for several hours and my hands were tired....

I forgot to mention that on Saturday I baked my applesauce bread and added in some minced almonds - turned out amazing, and I gave two loaves away!

Delicious! My aunt in NYC would be proud!

So that is pretty much an update entirely made of pictures - but I can't say I'm inclined to do much more right now. Oh wait - here's a suggestion for those of you who like strange fruits and vegetables and end up buying them with no idea of what to do with them:

Melissa's Great Book of Produce: Everything You Need to Know about Fresh Fruits and Vegetables by Cathy Thomas

The pictures are fantastic, and the descriptions are dead-on when it comes to describing the taste, preparation, when the produce is commercially available, and serving suggestions. Many of the recipes looks amazing (and simple) too!

(and for those of you up at RIT, our library has it - but I've got it checked out)

Try not to eat too much fried food this week - even if those potatoes are calling your name!
