thai tuesdays

tuesdays, you will find us at the library story time even though it's pretty horrible right now! we have a new children librarian who just hasn't gotten the hang of our group yet. the sad part is that the kids are losing interest and fewer people are coming back each week. we're trying to make it work though! hopefully it will improve as we are committed to going on tuesday mornings.

In the morning, before leaving for the library, we ate a flaxseed waffle with earth balance. e ate hers with a "lid" as she calls it. she even offered to make a lid for mine.

we usually go out for thai food for lunch so today i had L11 which is basically sweet and sour tofu and a lettuce salad with both peanut and ginger dressing. the happiest thing about tuesdays is the time we get to spend with our friends. annaB happens to be e's very best friend so they share vegan pad thai with tofu. annaB eats salad but e doesn't. they clamor for the mint bowl at the cash register when we leave.
Later in the afternoon, at their house, the girls snacked on flaxseed crackers, dried cranberries, pirate's booty and fruitBu (aka smooshed fruit).
oh, the sweet cheeks!

For dinner, we made pizzas. We all used the same crust and black bean spread. E added just olives and cream cheese to her pizza. Hubs added grilled peppers from the farmer's market and our garden!!!, black olives and cream cheese plus salsa and nutritonal yeast. I had peppers and cream cheese then added tomatoes with curriander and nitritonal yeast after it baked. e had some nutritional yeast on hers, too. Hubs and i split a natural root beer over ice! She had some noodles with black olives and n. yeast later. Hubs and e baked a chocolate cake tonight that we will share with friends (visiting from the sudan!) tomorrow. It was really hard for E to not eat the cake tonight. since we are layering the two rounds, i sliced off teh top of the bottom round and smothered in with peanut butter for hubs and i to sample. mmmnnhh, mmhhnn, good i tell ya!

this was just a few hours after she fell off a step onto the brick floors and busted her mouth. thak god it healed!!!
we've got tickets, woo hoo.
this was us while waiting outside. little did we know that we would again make these faces after standing in line for 15 minutes waiting to order veggie burgers. they were all out. uhm, post a sign!!!
