New year, new food!

Still a weirdo by KT Tundstall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUv9AMB9cz8

I also think that once you're a weirdo you don't grow out of it...

I received the vegetarien bible for christmas. It's a very good informative book with good recipes. Very well made and has good info: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Vegetarian-Bible/Nicola-Graimes/e/9781407592848

I told Ricky we should do one veggie meal per week along with one fish meal and maybe I can get him to go down to one red meat meal per week.

Driving down to NB I saw the big trucks that bring the pigs to slaughter. It's very sad. I didn't want to eat pork ... and that lasted 1 day and I had bacon but it's really sad how they stack them up in the truck, very very sad.

Very sad.

Christmas break was pretty bad for eating all around but I tried to control the portions and sweets. I now have too many chocolates in the house. Maybe I'll freeze some or give some away. Mom made peanut butter balls. SO GOOD!

2 c. peanut butter
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 stick butter
3 c. Rice Krispies

Mix well. Make into small balls. Chill thoroughly. In top of double boiler melt:

1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1/8 cake paraffin - you don't really need the paraffin, the chocolate will stick without

I was also thinking in the new year we should try new recipes and more meal planning.
