Food Art: cooking through the American Vegetarian Cookbook

Today is the day to stop postponing writing a post. I need a creative project to stimulate the creative juices and i need to blog to keep the accountability to do it. Besides, talking about it helps inspire me to do a difficult and/or mundane. No simple intrinsic motivation here. not a very Montessori thought, but true.

So the project i keep threatening in my own mind (an internal blog, if you will) is to ccok through this vegan cookbook that i purchased many moons ago, The AMerican Vegetarian Cookbook from the Fit for Life Kitchen. You see, i am a bacon lover, hamburger appreciater, and at times a dreamer of a good, medium well done steak. If i can prepare, consume, love and appreciate a dish, then any occasional vegetarian/omnivore should know it is preparable and delish.

Now to push the kitty off my lap, scootch away from the keyboard, step away from things that distract, open up the cookbook, and search for a recipe that i may have all the ingredients and the courage to prepare.

Oh yeah, making a good health decision that could lead to a slimer waist line also motivates.

on a nonhumility note: the above photo i made of my counter, after returning from the farmer's market, the day after i attempted to get Miss Ella Jenkins to sign my baritone ukelele at her concert.
