sarahfae: (dear diary)
What a night last night was! Seriously folks!

A lovely nephew was born, (that I have yet to see a picture of) born healthy, big, and already making little baby noises on the other end of the phone when his Daddy (my big brother) called me last night. Oh, I just can't wait to see the little dude! While D and don't plan of having children of our own (ever) I've really begun to grow this strange desire to bond with the little ones that are present in our lives. I love being an Auntie...even if my nephews live a couple states away.

Before the news of the nephew I had an exciting "date night" planned for myself and two Buster Keaton flicks: Our Hospitality, and Sherlock Jr. Both movies were wonderful, and I swooned shamelessly at the tv screen for two hours - not wanting it to end. I just love that man.(Thanks to Mister Pat for the movie hook-up! Your friendship has some really great perks!) 

For last night's dinner I ate a yummy meal. A sort of spaghetti-type dish with an amazing creamy tomato marinara that reminded me very much of the Tomato Bisque Soup that I've become famous for (not really, but my Bisque is freakin' good). There's so much possibility for the sauce in this dish to go in almost any direction; i.e. gazpacho, crakers, dip, cheese, pizza sauce...
But tonight it served a  wonderful purpose --- atop of a bed of wide ribbon spiral cut diakon radish and zucchini, with avocado and sunflower parm piled on the top. The pics aren't that great, but I'm gonna show em' to you anyways...

I have a bunch of pictures from the weekend (Saturday) adventures, but for now I want to post the dinner (along with recipe) that I ate this evening.

First off, I have to confess that I've been obsessing about this meal all day...my never ending craving for comfort food has pretty much been ruling what I make in the kitchen as of late. I really LOVE taking traditional non-vegan foods and translating them into vegan, and raw. Tonight's dinner was just that.
I wanted pasta with an alfredo sauce...so that is exactly what I made.

I've seen recipes for raw primavera style sauces before, but none of them had the right ingredients, or were too complicated with lots of strange components that you'd have to scale the side of an Appalachian mountain to find. This is my version of Fettuccine Alfredo---rawfood style:

First you make your pasta. For this I just spiral-cut a big zucchini, finely diced up some bell pepper and onion (sundried tomato would be good with this too), and put it aside in a bowl...

This-a-way for the finished product... )

Crampy-cramp-cramp day.
Blech.
I'm almost walking with a limp because my right "o" is pulsating in so much pain. Weee.

But hey, I can still post pictures! - And I have plans (once the throbbing subsides) to dehydrate a ton of veggies this afternoon (photo documentary to follow).

Here's a cuddly Lucy, snuggled up next to her Dad - wearing a t-shirt I recently made for her.


And here's Lola and Lucy excitedly taking part in what I call: "Warm Laundry Time!" Usually when I announce that it's "Warm Laundry Time" Lucy and Lola come running into the living room, and I dump all of the laundry (fresh out of the dryer) onto the floor, and they both barrel into the pile. I've been wanting to catch a picture of the two of them snuggled up next to each other, but this was the best that I could for now.




Yesterday I was thinking about my fridge, and all of the random things I've showcased on it's door, and sides throughout the years. In my kitchen I pretty much spend a LOT of time next to the fridge - because there's a large counter top right next to it - my favorite counter top actually. :) So after staring at it for a while (yesterday), I decided that it was time to clean it up - as it seems to collect pictures, notes, and pretty much anything sentimental that can be stuck to it over the course of a year. After I cleaned up it's face and sides, I started making new magets out of the old ones I wasn't too crazy about.
From there I decided that I'd try to start a meme of sorts. I'm calling it:

What's on your fridge?
How fun right? It's easy - just take a picture of your fridge, and post it on your blog! Do it!  Do it now!
Under the cut is my fridge, and some food too....

What's on your fridge?? (Plus some food from last night's din-din) )
