Dinner Last Night and SNOW This Morning

It rained off and on all day yesterday and we woke up this morning to this:

















Dinner last night was...














very good. I just threw a pot of beans together and made some garlic mashed potatoes and a spinach/collard salad with sauerkraut and mango salsa. Yummy vege soup and home made bread with oat cheese slices.

I also made a fat free apple sauce cake but I think the recipe called for too much baking soda so I am not going to reprint it here. It's ok, we all needed a big burp after that meal, lol.














The flavor and consistency were nice but it was a tad salty and it did make me have a big soda burp.* Everyone else said they loved it so if I ever make it right it they probably won't like it :)

The boy's (almost vegan) dinner
applesauce cake, toast with the horrifying individual slices of dairy cheese and "fried" potatoes.














He ate his salad earlier, without incident.


Footnotes:
*which I recognized from the old pregan** days when I used to get heartburn and treat it with a tsp of baking soda in a glass of water. It works.

**footnote within a footnote? have I gone MAD!?!. Er, Pregan is a term I have heard bandied around (neener) in the vegan blogger community. It means pre-vegan. I tried to find a definition, looked in the urban dictionary and every thing. They define it as

"A person who arrives early at informal office gatherings to chow down on
free cake, cookies and other snacks."
I entered the definition that I know and we will see if it shows up, blah blah
