Monday, November8

A little slow today. Must have been the crazy rain and wind this morning. (Luckily it has died down. The sun even made a brief debut.) A big thank you to Ms. Irene Pak for her daily interest in the blog!

NOTE: I was going to add a little piece of brownie to the lunch, but...well, looks like the Trader Joes chewy brownie mix CANNOT be veganized. I substituted soy butter for regular butter and Ener-G "egg" mix for the regular eggs. This works great for most recipes, but in this case, not so much. According to the box, the brownies were supposed to cook for 20 minutes. After about 10 minutes they looked like hot, scolding tar. Seriously, it looked like the surface of Venus. I took the pan out of the oven and the mixture sizzled and bubbled for another 5 minutes before cooling down to a hard rock formation. The middle part of the pan was slightly soft so I tried some. It actually tasted OK, but I didn't want to break any teeth, so the rest of the pan went into the trash. Oh well.


















• whole wheat pasta with shakey cheese
• wheat bread with soy butter
• lima beans
• grapes
• water
• morning snack: water, crackers (multi-grain crackers and these gorgonzola cheese things from Trader Joes -- both new to us. We'll have to see how E likes them. LOVE Trader Joes!)
