Wild Sound

Can’t stop listening to it. I think they spent about $6.24 on the video but the song really gets me. Love love love his voice.

One thought, has me turning back
A dozen point the other way
We act upon desire
To reach your hand for higher
And patience isn’t worth the wait

You’ve got knifes in your eyes
You would be happy not to change your mind
I can’t defend you truly
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire

And if we work it out
Chances are bound we’d be standing around
for no one’s better sake
good-bye

What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?

What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?

What are we waiting for?

How faint might that light become
You focus ’bout miles away
Although my position
Just gives you ammunition
You’re certain that I know my place

So is this how it ends
Oh with a whimper instead of bang
I can’t defend you truly
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire

And if we work it out
Chances are bound we’d be standing around
for no one’s better sake
good-bye

We would be friends
if we’d try again
I’d take second place
just to end this
for no one’s better sake
Good-bye

“Comedy is like a very cokey, druggy sugar. You get hits of comedy, and it’s very, “More, give me more of that stuff,” because serotonin is being released in the brain. So it’s basically, everyone becomes serotonin junkies, and we are serotonin dealers.”  –Eddie Izzard, who deals the quality stuff

Granola! I make about 3 batches a week, it’s so much cheaper and so good. Why pay $6 for a bag of Bear Naked that is about two servings when for the same amount you can make a batch that serves 6?

Mix up some oatmeal, nuts, brown rice syrup or maple or agave, some oil, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Bake it.

Press it. I put another cookie sheet on top and then my heavy le creuset on top of that and leave it til it’s cool. This is essential for creating the clumps. Otherwise each oat will be separate. Once it’s cool, break it up into clumps and add some dried fruit (I chose cranberries):

I have it as cereal w/soymilk every morning, it’s wonderful.

These are from the huge pot of beans and rice I made, along with some guacamole I made, and a warm flour tortilla I didn’t make. I could eat this meal for days and days (and I have since the pot’s so big).

I just bought a big bag o’ potatoes so I’ll be making variations on french fries for the next several days…

Sorry for the quietness, don’t worry I’m still vegan. Here’s some yummy puddin’ made with soymilk and cocoa and arrowroot and vanilla and almond extract. Yum. I think I’m gonna make that chocolate cake again and use this as frosting as well. Also I made a huge pot of beans and rice that I’ve been eating for days using this recipe. So tomatoey. I added a bunch of spices though, and beans of course. Also have been using Isa’s recipes for things like felafel:

Made tahini too of course but forgot to drizzle it on for the pic. So, nearly three weeks in, I’ve now lost 5.5 lbs thanks to veganizing and am definitely breathing better without the dairy. Onward!
