It is 2o’clock in the morning, holy frick holy frick holy frick! Let me just add that I am not even caught up with all my work yet. I am at least, completely finished with the assignment that is due tomorrow (I got 102.2%, woot). Clearly, this will be a speedy post; I took a few walks, did something very exciting I will mention tomorrow, etc. but I will focus just on eats.
Snack = Justin’s Nut Butter Honey PB packet, squeezed straight into my mouth.
Justin’s was so sweet to send me a box of samples, and I will be doing a full review tomorrow.
Lunch = tried some new veggies, i.e. turnips, parsnips, okra.
Okra is actually not new to me perse, but I kept it whole this time. Oven roasted.
I ate all the okra and put 1/3 of the rest into the fridge for tomorrow. My tasty dipping sauce was – buffalo wing sauce, ketchup, maple syrup, chipotle tabasco.
Dinner takes forever = 5 salt water taffies.
Actual dinner =
Orange Tofu from Eat, Drink, and Be Veganby Dreena Burton. It was good, but I had to sub some ingredients and I imagine it could be better.
Oven roasted white asparagus.
Broccoli, keeping with the citrus theme I sauted chopped broccoli and shalots in some clementine olive oil.
Yums.
Studying hurts my brain snack = packet of Rolos.
Nighty night! I probably will skip the breakfast post tomorrow, but will be back after volunteering at 2.
What’s the latest work usually keeps you up? When I was a teacher I would often sleep 2-3hours a night and still be behind! Nyc’s standards from English teachers were out of control.
Eating Chalk 
That’s weird, I was just thinking about the bag of frozen okra I bought because I’ve never tried okra before, and I was wondering what on earth to do with it!! Oven roasting is probably a good idea… keep it simple the first time, right?

blueeyedheart – I think roasting is the way to go with any veggie you are trying for the first time; it is difficult to mess up and gives great flavor. If your okra is frozen though, I’m not sure if it won’t get soggy, you might want to go with sauting (sp?).
I admire people who are night owls. I would rather get up at 3 in the morning than go to bed then. 🙂
I also got some goodies from Justin’s a few weeks ago – they’re good people! I still haven’t tried the cinnamon PB goodness, I am saving it for a special occasion (I have high expectations. haha) Happy Monday!
keunger – I know, the was flipping out with I saw cinnamon 🙂 Happy Monday to you too!
i adore the fact that you squoze the justin’s straight into your mouth. you don’t mess around! i love justins NBs though, the maple almond is my fave. your tofu looks really great!
