I did not have another mimosa last night, but did make a decidedly Northern dessert.
Mmmn. However, today was NOT feeling as romantic. It seemed like everything I touched today exploded! I was cleaning up messes and putting out (metaphorical) fires all over the place.
For starters I was running late for volunteering so I made my breakfast smoothie a bit smaller than usual.
1cup frozen mixed berries + 1cup plain fat free soy milk + 1T fat free sugar free jello powder.
It was super tasty, but I spilled 1/3 of it all over the counter 😦
I managed to clean up the mess and get to the hospital on time though. And they actually had a lot for me to do at volunteering which was nice. Not nice, was 30minutes after my shift when I was still there and I started panicking about getting home in time to make my important phone calls. No worries though, it’s President’s Day, no one was open. Boo 😦
And I was supposed to submit my college application today but since there was no one to help me override the system I have to wait until tomorrow to imput my Caribbean high school into the online form. I did some major damage on this bag of chips during the whole 2hours of failure.
At least they were vegan! Next I tried to recreate last night’s dessert, only to have it explode all over my microwave.
On the plus side, now my microwave is sparkling, and I put it to good use on a late lunch.
Tandoor Chef Vegetarian Pad Thai is seriously my favorite frozen meal of all time and it’s super awesome that it’s vegan too. If you see it at your grocery store, buy it!
I had hoped to go to the gym today finally but I’m feeling just under the weather enough still that it seemed like a bad idea. I would kill for a diet soda so maybe I’ll at least get in another walk (I walk to/from volunteering). Other than that the plan is dinner and bed. See you then.
Anything explode on you today? I’m all ears if you want to gripe about it?
Eating Chalk 
That happend to me once, too!
I kinda exploded all I had for dinner on the microwave! I don´t really remember what was it, but I do remember I had to eat pure bread as dinner. Not so yummy
Oh, well. Living and learning! I haven´t exploded a single thing since that day, hehe 😉
Have a great night!
Brazilian XOXO´s,

Well I’m glad you learned your lesson, it seems to be a regular occurance for me!!
hehe, nothing exploded on me today….but I did spill hot tea all over the counter
Luckily I didn’t spill it on myself!
it’s nice to see so many veggies in a vegan meal
Well nothing really exploded, but school absolutely SUCKED today. I went into school thinking that I was finally starting to understand Calculus, but then I go in to talk to the teacher and he tells me all of the work I did this weekend was wrong!! AHHHH… I guess I need to get working on it!!
Yuck, that is the worst feeling. You’ll get it though!
I totally know that this is totally nit-picky of me, and I’m not trying to be a jerk about it I swear!
But you know that Jello / Gelatin is totally not vegan / vegetarian, right? It’s animal product, and it’s usually avoided by people with vegan / veggie diets.
BUT I have been reading and enjoying your blog for a long time, and I know you are being mellow about it — I am the same way, pretty non strict, so I wouldn’t worry about it. You could substitute guar gum or something similar.
The hash browns look amazing! Feel better!
Thanks for writing in, you are not a jerk at all! I do know that, but I’m sure some of my readers do not. I forgot to make it clear that I’ve decided to go ahead and eat gelatin and honey over the next two weeks; I realize many vegans are uncool with these products but I personally have no issue with them. I would prefer to substitute one of the “gums” but they are not available near me and that is not a product I’m going to convince my husband we have the money to mail order!
