hmmmmm... here i am.  this will be a short one since elmo's world is wrapping up which means DINNER TIME.  i have decided to cook vegan during the week for me & biscuit and only eat meat when daddy is home to cook it.  atleast through the summer when the veggies are so abundant.  last night we had a kind of crudite raw veggie plate with kidney beans and yummy vegan ranch (i mean it, it was actually yummy).  tonight we are having corn on the cob which came in the box today and a salad i made with: garbanzos, cucumber, green pepper, cilantro, basil, garlic, olive oil and seasoned rice vinegar.  it has been marinating through sesame street.  i am hungry.  woot.

bunny does great with the vegan stuff and the raw stuff, so hooray.  matt and i have been trying to eliminate our recycling pile in an attempt to de-polymer our life.  he has been making homemade hummus from dried garbanzos and bulk tahini, and making his own yogurt too, since we figured out that we were buying most of our plastic containers with those items.  so far, so good.  it is amazing how much of a relief it is to be making less trash.  everytime i look at the pacific i think of that floating plastic island... still so far to go, though, on that carbon imprint.

off i go.  dinner calls.
