We stuff peppers with tofu instead of tempeh.

Much better.

Tried an "egg" biscuit sandwich at Chicago Diner, never had that before.

I bought a Florida avocado thanks to a post by SB. Will be trying that today.

Make sure it isn't hard! It will ripen if left out, quicker in a paper bag.

Ok...thanks!

The sandwich I ate today had avocado in it, my first taste of avocado. And I liked it. A lot.

I gave the chickens spicy food for the first time. They thoroughly enjoyed it.

Recently tried Sunflower milk- wasn't a fan
Also tried this:http://www.tastethedream.com/products/product/5355/814.php
This was much better. Had a nice smooth nutty flavor.

I tried an iced coffee without sweetener (just almond milk added), and it was pretty good!

I took my car to a Valvoline shop for an oil change. I usually avoid all chains like Valvoline, Midas, etc. because 1. I don't trust them and 2. They always try to feed me a line of ******** about all the million things that are wrong with my car 3. They always try to sell me expensive services and products. I've been going to a local mechanic for my oil changes, but my car was acting really fucked up and Valvoline has a drive thru oil change that's super fast plus I was already right across the street from it.
I have got to say that I'm glad I made the stop. Their price was $35 but they were willing to price match my mechanic's deal of $19.99. They got me in ASAP and had my oil change done in 10 mins. They were pretty awesome and I was really impressed with the service. No pressure to buy expensive services or products. No list of repairs that I needed to be done. Just a quick in and out with no hassles and my car no longer sounds like an airplane!

That's a load of BS. Christmas tree in July? Next thing you'll tell us you went skiing for the first time ever. On Mount Mojave.

My family gets a tree every year, and since the trash company stopped picking them up two years ago we just have them sitting in back.

Your backyard must smell pine fresh!

Well, that's a whole new kettle of pinecones. Why didn't you say so before?

Can't you get a woodchipper and toss 'em in or something? Sounds like a fire hazard. Every year I hear about so many horror stories of dried out Christmas trees starting fires.

Yesterday I tried making something new - a chickpea "tuna" sandwich spread. It was insanely good. I included Stone Cali-Dijon mustard, capers, celery, carrots, onions, horseradish sauce and vegenaise. Oh, and a bit of italian parsley. I'm excited for my lunch today!

You're making me drool..
