(if going vegan, find milk free, or can do unsweetened and add sugar )
3/4 cup non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened almond)
16 OZ silken tofu
Melt Chocolate in a double boiler and add the milk until incorporated. Take off heat and add tofu, blend with immersion blender or food processor until combined, with no lumps. Refrigerate for two hours, or as long as you can stand it!
I like mine topped with raspberries, Marc likes his on top of a graham cracker crust!
Today is Tuesday which means....YOU GUESSED IT! school!!!
I started out with English and tried not to fall asleep, got home at 9:30am and totally crashed until noon. I didn't wanna get out of bed this morning boo hoo!
I had to get myself up though because my other class downtown starts at 1pm. I ate a pb&j and booked it downtown. IT WAS SO COLD!! I have to walk about 5 blocks to college so I was frozen icicles by the time I got to class.
After school let out I went to the library and picked out these books:
That last one might be hard to see but it is a polish book with audio cd's that help you learn Polish. I really need to learn it because today I was getting ready for work at about 4pm, I'm blow drying my hair and watching TV in my little after shower dress thing like this big:
(trust me i know I don't look like this LOL)
and I see Nana's head poke through the doorway! TALK ABOUT SCARE ME TO DEATH! She was talking to me in polish and I kept saying i don't understand, I don't understand, until she finally told me she was looking for Aspirin and had a headache. poor thing. I gave her some Motrin and put her in bed. She's lucky she didn't get an eyeful if you know what I mean.
Well anyway back to the sequence of events:
The library is located across the street from The Milwaukee Public Museum and they have a beautiful butterfly exhibit! I got to see the butterflies flutter around in their room! I tried to take a picture but realized a little too late that my camera's SD card was in the laptop at home. Here's the butterfly wing!
I got home and was soo hungry so I made up a really yummy recipe! I also failed to take a picture of it :( because I left my camera in the car, and I was NOT going to go out and get it! COLD!
I named the recipe Bacon-y bok choy with sunny side egg
Are you grossed out? You shouldn't be it was sooo good!
3 slices chopped bacon 1 head of bok choy 1 clove of garlic, pressed or minced 1 egg
Cook the bacon until slightly starting to give off it's fat. Add all of the bok choy, stir continuously until the bacon is almost crisp and the bok choy has lost some of it's rawness. Add garlic and egg in the middle of the greens. cook until sunny side! Serve with greens around the egg. This would bee good with spinach, or swiss chard too! Eat your greens!
I also watched Dr. Phil's housewives (I'm so addicted to that show).
Now I am at work and watching the clock.. just an hour and a half left!
Gotta thank my daddy and Voluminous mascara for those lashes! I think it is good to look at the mirror and try to think of POSITIVE things about yourself..try it! Be like this cutie...
Today I was short on time so I just used this clip from Claire's and stuffed the rest of my hair in a messy bun.
I spent (most of my) time researching today. Scholarships, shoes, Christmas gifts, coupons..etc. I'm glad to feel semi accomplished and have even finished my essay for tomorrow! yay! Just have to print it off.
Here's the mess I made looking at recipes, goodies, etc. The kitchen table is pretty much my desk now. Even though I have a desk which sits in the closet. I hate my messiness but it's part of who I am (more on mess later)
For dinner I made Rachael Ray's recipe for Kale Walnut Pesto Pasta. It was soooo yummy, and rich which I didn't expect!
The pesto is made of
1 bunch kale, stems removed (boiled for 5 mins, then drained) 2 garlic cloves 1/2 cup roasted walnuts 1 cup Parmesan 1/2 cup olive oil
just blend the first 4 ingredients...
It should look like this
then it should come into a ball before you add in the oil a little at a time.
I did like the pros say and froze the rest of the sauce to use on meats and vegetables :)
When I get home from work I'm going to take it out of the ice trays and into a plastic bag.
This is also what is looking me in the face when I get home.
I cleaned out the sink and did the dishes from the pesto before I left, but oh lord I have some chores!
It gets WORSE!
Oh well, to take your mind off of my nasty house (your mind or my mind?)
Here's Frankie. He's been showing off his @$$hole tendencies lately. I have been bitten and scratched only when I've been petting his head gently. Jerk face. Here he is looking at me funny.
And here is his new cat nip toy, 20 minutes from the time I gave it to him.
He is a wicked wicked cat. BUT, I love him, and I love him on Catnip SOOOO FUNNY!
