CAMERA RESOLVED....

Hello all! I had a snow day today!! Just thought I'd awkwardly throw that in there.

I have a new camera. We will not talk much about this. Its the same kind as before, only in blue :) Heres a recap of my camera mishaps if you care/are bored.

1. Red camera is dying

2. New camera #1!

3. The camera cord is gone

4. Found it. Joy.

5. So now the camera is gone.

6. And found again.

7. The camera died.

For the sake of my sanity and lack of sleep, I'll let you consume (no pun intended) these photos without much explanation.

Roasted red pepper hummus. Nom.

Barley casserole with tahini dressing from The Kind Diet.

Peanut butter/agave rice krispie treats (some w/chocolate) from The Kind Diet. Nomnomnom.

Another form of art: A painting I did on a deconstructed shoe shelf!!

A weird abstract painting.


Vegan ice cream! Almond dream. With coconut and almonds and a strawbery. Nomz.

Well, before I sign off...a recent dillemma (sp?). I had some soymilk in cereal the other day, like I normally do, (almond most of the time, but there was a sale on soy) and felt somewhat nauseous the whole day. I thought it was just a little cold, and didn't think much of it. The next day, I had some tofu at dinner, and for the rest of the night, was in excruciating pain!!! The day after that, I had a small sprinkle of soy sauce on lentils. As soon as I finished eating, the thing came back.

I'm going to give up all soy for a while. Vegan, no soy. Haha right. But as I decided upon giving up soy for a while, it occured to me that maybe I should just give up some other stuff too. All white sugar? All white flour? Should I go macro again? (didn't really talk about it, but it did happen haha.) I'm just confused about what I should do.

I gotta clean a little and go to bed, but I'll see you guys tomorrow :)

A quick update

Hello blog world, I am alive.
And working on the whole camera situation as well! Other than that, there has been lots of baking and cooking going on. I made banana butter yesterday, as well as orange scones and lemon poppyseed muffins from Vegan with a Vengeance. I made lentil soup from a new cookbook the other day, which has just been devine! Yeah, a lot of cooking has been going on. But also cleaning-I cleaned out the entire fridge and freezer of failed experiments, questionable looking things, etc. Our fridge is soo empty! I think a trip to whole foods is needed fairly soon...
But off the topic of food, the last theater production I was in just ended. It was so much fun-I barely had time to even do a little update though on the blog!! I've decided against doing the spring musical, as much as I want to, my schedule is changing a lot for school and I want to try something different.
I was also thinking that this spring, something fun to do would be to pursue my baking more, but maybe start a mini-business with it. My sister had asked me if I baked something for her once a week, she would pay for the ingredients or some portion of the money. That kind of sparked the idea, maybe just having friends email me about asking for baked goods. But I'm not starting some huge business or anything...keep in mind I am in high school!! Any thoughts or tips on that?
This week is going to be crazy, I may not have the chance to update so much because it is...

FINALS!
Yup. So much fun. Half days never sucked so much. But after it's all over I'm sure the feeling of ease and de-stress will be awesome. I'll talk to you guys (whoever you are) soon.

Surprise surprise!

MY camera went through one of these:

Yes. My camera went through the washing machine. 'Nuf said.

It is sitting in a bag of rice right now (supposedly this works?) and I have to keep it there for a week. Only 4 more days...that'll be interesting to open on christmas.
Anyways.

I've been busy busy busy baking, I have made:

Lots of peppermint bark(is white chocolate vegan? I think NOT.)
homemade peppermint-walnut chocolate
granola (vegan)
orange cookies (vegan...not literaly orange but with orange zest and liquere)
sunflower seed cookies (vegan)
sun-butter (veagn...sunflower seeds in a food processor with local honey and a tiny bit of canola)
peanut brittle (so far from vegan its sad)
more non vegan candy...

And maybe I'll just have to make it all again when I can take pictures, just for the sake of the blog :)

I have a curse. A camera curse. They hate me. Urgh. I apologize-the best time of year to blog (in my opinion) and my camera went through a vigorous washing machine cycle. Poor baby.

I guess I can just post boring wordy posts, but who likes that. Maybe I can get my hands on my dad's camera or moms. But with my luck I doubt they'd let me use it :)

Merry Kwanzicha? Merry Christmas, happy late hannukah, and happy kwanza. Or holidays. To sum it up.

I found it...

After months of being camera-less,

I FOUND IT! In a couch cushion. While I was searching for it, I found:

a pencil
fake frameless glasses
a pack of stride gum:D
some dust
a film camera from the 80s

So yay. After the battery charges, I will have a large post. SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!

I'm still alive

Hey y'all :D
Bad news: My camera is still missing :(
Good news: I'm saying hi!!
I was just in Hairspray, my school's musical. It was AMAZING! Theater is so much fun. I have an audition next week for a production as well...There will be pictures from that soon.
I've been cooking a little, I made some super amazing chocolate chip coconut blondies, which I'll have the recipe for soon :D In the meantime, I've been eating a lot of frozen fruit with almond milk, veggies with tofu, chickpeas, and carrots. The usual. I'm planning a little get together this weekend, and I'm cooking a moroccan themed meal. That's a surprise, because Hoai An, I know you're reading :)
How is everyone out there in the blogging world? I'm still reading plenty of blogs, but things are so busy right now it's hard to comment on all of them :/
Thanks for checking in guys! Hope to be having a real post soon.

Sigh...really?

If you're wondering why I haven't been posting lately, its NOT because I can't find my camera cord!
Even worse.
Can't find my precious digital camera...and I have so much to share. POOPY. Well ASAP I will be posting.
The musical at my high school is going great! Wer'e doing hairspray, and I have practice basically every day for a few hours. It's really coming together, and I'm having so much fun...
Food lately has been OK. Hummus, veggies, white bean dip, coconut pudding, salads, soup. The usual :D I'm sitting down to some whole foods sesame tofu with cooked broccoli, carrots, and a spicy peanut sauce. Yum. I had a lot of baking this weekend, more fauxtess cupcakes plus a new cake!
I'm sorry that it looks like I'm dissapearing! I'm not trying to-I spend plenty of time on the computer. As soon as I find mean Mr. Camera, life will be good. Talk to you soon :D
