Self Love.

by on April 16, 2009

And no, gqh…not THAT kind of self love.

I am an awesome vegetarian.

I have to qualify that statement, however.

I am an awesome vegetarian. Because I am an awesome cook! Truth is that you really can’t be satisfied with your life in food (vegetarian or carnivorous) unless you cook well. Or have a personal chef. Or go out to eat everyday. Or have an awesome spouse who is a great cook.

One must have great food in their life to be satisfied.

Although this picture does my veggie pad Thai absolutely no justice, you can rest assured that it tasted great. While it lasted. Before I schmarfed down most of the contents of that Pyrex container. It’s in a Pyrex container because, well, remember…I see death pass by my door with every microwaved or dish-washed plastic container. It’s an affliction that I’ve recently come down with. But seriously. You can’t tell me that heating that plastic sheeeet up doesn’t make it hazardous to your health. The melting point of plastic is much lower than the melting point of glass. Which means that at some point in the heating process, you’re eating plastic.

Glass is safe.

Glass is secure.

I love glass.

I have started reading “Sproutman’s Kitchen Garden Cookbook”, and I am in love. The only problem? Well…I’m glad that I have an extra $200 in my unspent tax refund FUND. Because, my friends, I am going to have to get a juicer. According to Sproutman, a juicer should be the key element in any healthy kitchen. And, a juicer isn’t just for juicing. You can make sprouted grain bread with it, “ice cream”, nut milks, nut butter. So…basically everything that I’ve been eating as of late. If I can make these items myself and save money by doing so, I’m all for it.

Sproutman recommends the Champion Juicer. Does anyone have experience with this juicer?

If there was one product that you could make at home to save money, what would it be?

    I already make beer at home because I’m cheap!

    Congrats, sister! This post showed up in my GR right away! Other subscribers should be here to leave messages in no time!

    Don’t belittle masturbation. It’s sex with someone I love.

    That’s I lie. I can’t stand me. I have to pretend I’m someone else just to get through doing it with me. And afterwards I still feel cheap and tawdry.

    But I’m attracted to “cheap and tawdry” so soon enough the whole cycle starts over again.

    O, man. My comment is making me all hot! Better go now!

    You know what G?

    Even if you were my single, solitary reader, it would be okay with me. Your comments are the stuff that dreams are made of. Who needs blog readers when I have you…telling me about your self love hatred.

    hmmmmm.. i think i would make nut butters. yea yea..boring.. i know.. but hey- it could work right?

    i love my juicer and i only spent 50 bucks on it (major sale at Macys…) its a little on the noisy side though, maybe the Champion juicer will be quieter! i hear its the mercedes of juicers!!!

    I think i would go for the dehydrator before the juicer based on all the yummy raw food sites I have been visiting lately.

    but that’s just cause I know my smoothies work in the magic bullet…el cheapo!
