Those of you who keep up with this blog know that I have recently become a vegetarian. I have opened my eyes to so many new fruits, vegetables and other new things I have never tried before. Steven got my this great book for my birthday with 150 Quick-Fix Vegetarian recipes and I love cooking with it!
This is what I have learned in the past few weeks.
1. Tahini is a sesame paste used in a lot of vegetarian recipes, especially those with "asian" flavors.
2. Tamari is another vegetarian staple, a sort of soy sauce used in many dressings.
3. Tempeh (this soy grain stuff) can be poached. Unbelieveable.
4. I love Whole Foods, especially the produce section.
5. I learned how to pick & cut a pineapple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJJ-iQkbRNE
6. I tried a mango for the 1st time and learned how to cut it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLdPjpELyU

Another Year Older
This week has been crazy-busy.
April 6th was my 24th Birthday. I can't even believe that this will be my last birthday closer to 20 than 30--talk about crazy! I had a wonderful pre-birthday celebration at my in-laws on Sunday. My mother in law made my favorite cupcakes & everyone was so generous and gave such nice gifts.
Monday, we had cake at my mom and dad's which was delicious.
On my actual birthday (Tuesday), I ended up working & God gave me the greatest gift of all--a peaceful day at work where I actually got out on time...a miracle in my mind. That night we ordered pizza "spinach, feta, and wild mushroom wood grilled" from Bob & Timmy's. It was sooooo good.
Wednesday, I had the day off but spent most of the day running around & organzing my suprise for mom & dad's 25th anniversary party.
Thursday, I worked and went out with my friend Dawn to Friendly's for dinner.
Friday, I picked up the photo balloon arrangements and floral arrangement I planned as a suprise for mom and dad's 25th. Friday night 22 of us witnessed the renewal of their vows. It was so great. Then we had a nice dinner following. What a great and special night!
Today, Tom went with my dad to help him at the campground and I cleaned ALL DAY and ironed and did laundry. I managed to squeeze in a haircut and eyebrow wax and plan a trip to the spa for next Thursday. Amen!
I am looking forward to relaxing tonight and tomorrow with my hubby because we have barely seen each other all week. Finally time together. I really can't wait.
