Tasty Goodness saves the day
So I'm sure by now, ya'll know that I'm allergic to a lot of things as well as His Tallest has stomach issues. This causes a little bit of troubles in the cooking department because nor I or His Tallest can have lactose products and His Tallest has issues with sugar. No cheese, no milk, little or no sugar and NO equal or sugar twin(because I hate those sugar alternatives living most of my life with a diabetic I hate to put up with them *yuck*.) For my Winter Solstice present, His Tallest got me this. It is the most awesome cookbook I own at this point. Even if you are not vegan it's fantastic, especially if you like to eat healthy, but tasty food. I've made a few recipes in this book and even feed them to vegan food haters (now ex-vegan food haters!) I'm not vegan, I eat meat (not much, but won't give it up), seafood and eggs; however due to the food restrictions this is the perfect gift because I love to cook and sometimes a girl doesn't want to be messing with a recipe and a whole lots of substituting.
Lately I've felt and been acting like a beast. I'm having issues dealing with most of the general public and getting really sick of being asked at least 6 or more times in a hour if I'm training my guide dog, even using a magnifer or reading something a few millimeters from my face!!!! I want to scream and it makes me really angry, plus gives me a bad case of agoraphobia. So today I turned on my magical dinosaur (my ancient 2nd gen iPod) who plays music that I need to hear and made some banana wheat germ muffins from Vegancomicon. I swear the shuffle in iPods are psychic! I feel so much better -- music and tasty food. Now I'm just sitting here all mellow and happy listening to music and posting here. The muffins should be cooled down soon and I'm enjoying my favourite tea from T, vanilla bean black tea (sweet hot goodness). I need to remember to throw on my headphones and blast music, while baking or out and about more often. It's so good for my soul, without this I'd go insane!! Between the weather here and dealing with the general masses while out with my guide doggy I swear I'll be committed if I don't find some downtime to relax and destress.
