homemade general chow’s tofu, hummus, and pita bread. mmmm. even though i accidentally burned a tiny spot on my arm. also, who knows what possesses me to randomly cook a big batch of food on school nights, but my taste buds aren’t complaining.
tomorrow’s my one year veganiversary! woohoo! wish i had time to celebrate and make a bunch of vegan food.. oh well, i just enjoyed some vegan hot chocolate and it was delicious :)
here’s to many more years of cruelty-free eating and living! namaste.
ps. oh and i FINALLY sent in my check and waiver for RAGBRAI!!! aka i’m officially riding my bike across iowa for a week this july! i’m doing it as a fundraiser for sadhana forest. want to help me raise $1000? don’t be shy, any contribution would be greatly appreciated. it’s by far the most amazing place i’ve ever been, so you should at least look into it :)
figured i might try blogging again, just for kicks. but mostly to help me remember things. just for my own sake, since i know no one cares. it’s always fun for me to look back on. since i haven’t written an actual entry in several months, i’ll just try to recap some major themes of what’s been going on in recent memory.
let’s start with today. it’s the first day of classes for the spring semester. not looking forward to it really, with the exception of outdoor adventure skills (backpacking, rock climbing, and kayaking). i’m just ready to be done with school.
so winter break ended yesterday. it mainly consisted of:
- complaining the whole 2 weeks at home about wanting to be back in ithaca
- hanging out with nancy (including the first time i’d been to the eye in years), and zach (once)
- too much driving, spending too much time in martin’s and in newark, delaware (although i don’t mind newark)
- hating the weather
- a lack of motivation to do anything because of the weather
- a ton of great vegan food, some i made by myself but mostly with devon.. including: chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, delectable banana peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, bread, pesto, many delicious dinners (featuring a lot of curried/stir fried veggies, pasta, potatoes, and other wonderful deliciousness), and most recently.. fantastic, mouth-wateringly tasty deep dish PIZZA! check it:
with DAIYA (my favorite!!!) and amazing homemade crust!
- running with alexis (who made a resolution to run every day this year)
- staying up super late, sleeping in super late, and doing nothing all day
- scrubs and 30 rock
- crossword puzzles
- dance parties in devon’s living room (attendees: devon and me)
- wishing i was somewhere warm and sunny and mountainous
yeah. other than that life has been pretty typical.. school and such. i feel like this is one of those times when you reunite with an old friend who you haven’t talked to in so long there’s so much to catch up on it’s difficult to know what to talk about. or maybe i’m just awkward.
bright eyes - four winds
