cookies, banoffee pie and vegenaise....

my computer always won't do things because of some message about cookies - urgh. thanks - i wasn't thinking about cookies... but i am now :|

today i made the banoffee pie. kids are WEIRD - they wouldn't touch it. this is very bad news because i love it to death and could it eat it whole... darned freaking weirdo kids hating fruit and stuff. who hates bananas????! it's like hating labrador puppies... it's inconceivable and just plain freakishly odd

i got 'the kind diet' by Alicia Silverstone today. bleck. i want to be a good vegetarian, i really really do (hence the book) but i just don't think i can shop at (A)whole foods and do yoga and eat tofu for EVERY SINGLE MEAL - every recipe seems to have tofu in it :| i'd rather eat a sweaty microwaved ziploc bag... oh that's the other thing, she recommends you give away the microwave. SOOOO not going to happen :)

one recipe is for seaweed burritos.... one for 'raw balls' based on a friend's own 'raw balls' :| another for "ridiculously rich chocolate brownies" (you SOOO know they aren't rich...) made with grain-sweeteneed carob chips... so you just know they will smell like hemp and have the consistency of fire logs. oh and if you think potatoes and peppers and tomatoes are vegetarian fare, she says not to eat those evil 'nightshade vegetables' because they are bad for your joints. yup, life without french fries swimming in tomato ketchup.... go ahead and kill me now :( next she'll be saying that watching 'teen mom' is unacceptable too.....

yadda yadda yadda... my heart's 100% vegetarian but i don't think my tummy really is yet... we'll see if i can find mochi and nut milk (do nuts even have breasts....?) and brown rice crispies and maple sugar and vegenaise at Albertson's - if not, i reserve the right to give up :)

PS Tarnya, i don't think there is such a thing as pre-boiled condensed milk in the USA... this being such a third world country and all. i should start my own company and call it T'N'T in your honor (and because i'd probably blow up the factory by falling asleep 2.75 hours into the process :)
