tofu cheesecake and a broken toe
This is a story from a while ago. I guess there isn't much going on right now worth mentioning here, and I really don't want to talk about the holiday mashed potato goo incident.
Anyway, back to the tofu and toe. My tofu cheesecake was almost done baking. I was lounging on the davenport with piedmont waiting for the timer to sound. As the beeping began I jumped to my feet and headed for the kitchen. Then disaster struck. Unable to navigate the step between the living room and kitchen while running in my oversize slippers I went down. I actually navigated the little toe of my right foot into the step, causing the fracture. Ouch! Then I fell onto my knees and arm on the hardwood floor unable to properly put my hands out to catch myself due to the empty dinner plate I was carrying. Don't run with scissors or dinner plates. I lay there writhing in pain next to my food coated plate, piedmont came and stared at me. As the beeping continued, I sent him to check on the tofu cheesecake. A burnt pan of tofu could only make things worse. The story continues with limping through day long working interviews, hours at the urgent care, and daily buddy taping. Who knew a broken toe could hurt so bad. It is probably no coincidence that I haven't made a tofu cheesecake since.

Techno challenged...
This mobile blogging is more complicated than I thought. It cut off the end of my message. Why? I wasn't over the limit. Whatever. Vegan mint chocolate chip icecream is really good!

I'm sitting @ my computer, typing up this test on my phone. I kind of like the green, like (vegan) mint choc chip icecrea

Dial-up in the 'couv
My sidekick Esteban finally got the DSL. No more Dial up in the 'couv!
Annabelle vs. Soymilk gone bad!
Esteban and I recently went to Canada. On the return trip an open carton of soymilk languished in the car for 2 days, in and out of coolers with questionable amounts of ice and spending one night in my cousin's fridge. I suggested more than one time that is should be disposed of, due to the growing number of bacteria that were certainly flourishing within the puffed up antiseptic pack. Esteban wouldn't hear of it, he was going to drink it. Well, the soymilk made it home and somehow slipped into the fridge unnoticed by me. There it plotted its revenge. Fast forward to breakfast the next day. I'm hurrying to eat breakfast before work. I grab crispy rice and soymilk! It slips past my radar: we just returned from a trip so there should be no open container of soymilk in the fridge. I gobble it up and head out the door. Feeling a little queasy as I get in the car I decide I must have not gotten enough sleep. During the 20 minute drive my condition progresses to shaky, sweaty, and then retching in the bathroom at work. I give my apologies to the front office and head back to the car for the drive back to the 'couv. After a 5 hour nap, during which I awake several times to hear my stomach make some pretty terrible processing noises, Esteban says "You didn't have any vanilla soymilk did you?" At least I didn't toss my cookies.
