birthday

Wednesday is my birthday! Since my mother has to work that night we went out for lunch yesterday instead. Chris and I made the cake:








I love the ceiling at Metro Pizza. Very authentic.


Mom made me one of these scarves a few years ago and I finally had to retire it this past fall. I've been waiting patiently for a new one and now it is here!


Twenty Seven!

a swing!

Our house feels even more like a home now that we have our beautiful swing! Thanks Mom! I have wonderful visions of late summer nights sitting on the swing with my husband a glass of wine.

One of the things we have missed since becoming vegetarians is the taste of BBQ sauce. And the bun that goes with BBQ. So we decided to make some BBQ Tofu. It took a few tries but we figured out how to make it taste right.
-Drain cubed extra firm tofu and wrap in a towel to soak up excess liquid
-Bake tofu in the oven for about 30 minutes - this gets out more of the moisture
-Add BBQ sauce and let sit in the fridge for as long as you like
-Bake another 30 minutes
-Add to a delicious bun and you've got a tasty (and healthy) bbq sandwich!
