...6 days until am.psych plays LIVE.

It's our first show of 2012. We said we were not going to do one until the album came out, but hell. This is for a really good reason.

Shameless self promotion, but hell, you gotta do what you can.

(I'll be posting this every day all week)

...ok can we talk about this?

Vegan whole grain lasagna just out of the oven

I haven't had lasagna in ages. It used to be one of my favorites. Thing is, it's a pain in the ass to make sometimes. Then, a couple years ago after going vegan, I just ruled out eating lasagna ever again...

...until tonight. Look at this. I made it. Whole wheat lasagna noodles, broccoli, corn, carrots, onions, garlic, mushrooms, sweet potato, tomatoes, tofu, spinach, cashews (more on that later), spices, and two jars of sauce later and we were in business.

On the plate

So, on the top of it is what looks like cheese, for those in the know with me, it's not. It's ground cashews. You put it on the top of the pan for the last 15 minutes. It gets a little toasty, but it doesn't smell burnt. It tasted like what I remember to be cheese.

 The tofu served as a type of ricotta in here. I used extra firm and just crumbled it up. Up at the top is a sweet potato mash that seemed to hold everything together. 

Next time, I think I need to make a bigger batch. All in all, this took about two and a half hours to get done. It was well worth it. I have leftovers for a while now.

Om nom nom nom.

I wanted more like NOW, but I know I'll just get over full.

Food and exercise log - 2/15/2012

Exercise: 1 hour on the glider today. I don't like the one I used today. It kept resetting in the middle of the run. I listened to a lot of good stuff to keep me going. Mudvayne, Prodigy, Combichrist. I need to get some other stuff in there too. But it was still an hour solid at least. I do need to find better shoes. My toes go numb after about 30 minutes because of my stride and my knees.

Food:

Breakfast - banana and yogurt
Lunch - Salad
Dinner - Pizza (had to use the last of the ingredients we had before they went bad)

...it's a great big universe and we're all really puny...

Don't know why, but this popped in to my head today.

Food and exercise log - 2/14/12

Exercise: no real intense exercise today. I did change up my work space so that I am always standing. So, I think that should count as some sort of exercise.

Food:

Breakfast - cereal and fruit
Lunch - small salad
Dinner - big salad

Tuesdays are school days so it I have to bring something with me. This day, I just packed an extra huge salad and portioned it.
