life in my color

Long weekend ending (well, actually it was just two days, but I haven't had two days off in a row forever. It's amazing how long it feels), wine poured, hummus and naan on the table and this on the ITunes. Perfection.

Amazed

I've discovered a lot of pictures from my parents before they were parents and I am so completely in love with them. They were this cute, stylish couple. I've never met those people because the world wore them down and responsibility took over. But back in the day they gazed at each other and were just so fabulous. I'm in awe. I'm verging on obsessed. But seriously, check out this pair. They couldn't get any better:

Tofu Pie

Yes, Tofu pie. And it's amazing. I'm always looking for new desserts to make since being diagnosed and I swear I will never live down Scotty's first birthday cake. It was a great lemon English tea cake ... for breakfast ... in England ... with tea. But I iced it and attempted to serve it to our friends. Not OK. I still get grief for it.

But now I have it. The best pie ever and I will continue to make it for every event. I'm stoked!

I package Tofu (I used Silken Firm and it came out fudge-like consistency. I'm going soft next for more of a mousse)
Semi sweet chocolate chips
Coconut Milk (although Almond or Soy works)
Salt
Vanilla Extract (I also added Rum extract)
Agave nectar (I'll leave this out next time for less sweet)
Melt the chocolate. Blend it in a blender. Pour in a pie crust. I found an unbleached wheat flour chocolate pie crust at the Farmers Market. It was ridiculous.

Best. Healthy. Dessert. Ever.

Love, love, love

I love, love my new Mark & Estell top. I couldn't feel cuter, happier, more comfortable and stylish all at the same time. And with the door propped open, the weather stunning and a littler Mayer on the IPod - this is a perfect moment. I haven't had a lot of those lately and when I do, I'm too busy to notice. So since I'm having this moment right here. Right now. I'm enjoying it. A lot.

And it all started with my new top.

It's a Cult

Well, maybe not a cult, per se. But everyone wears the same colors, chants at the same time, sways together, sings songs and only does this when the "Leader" tells them. They're silent when supposed to be silent, they're loud when supposed to be loud and they "Whoop!" But, you know, maybe that's not quite a cult.

It is a team that kicked our ass. We had a shot in the beginning and completely threw it away. I suppose with threw it to the other team - twice - but figuratively that's pretty much throwing the game away.

This weekend will be better. Lots better. And I can't wait to play at home and experience the entire thing. It's been TOO long!
