A boring old witch?


Last weekend I went to a Halloween Party. Most people did. I went through various plans for costumes from Rainbow Brite to a witch. I have a cute black skirt I really wanted to wear plus I couldn't find Rainbow Brite's socks. A witch was plan until about noon Saturday.

I ran into the host at the market before the party. He said in not so many words he would judge me if I showed up as a witch. Hmmm, don't want to be judged and decided that I am boring.

So, creative as I am I was Glinda the Good Witch. And I had the perfect outfit. I re-purposed my wedding dress.


Fun! Bonus - the boustier bought for it was re-worn. I'm trying to depreciate it. Only 5 more wears and I'll consider it a good investment. :)

Vegan Diet Finish Line

Oops. The 2 month vegan diet challenge was supposed to end this morning. And it did, with cream in my coffee. But truthfully it ended on Friday at the Palate with the mussels in fusilli with a dill cream sauce. Yum.

And then on Saturday with the falafel wrap cover in tzatziki and garlic spread. And the cupcakes with 3 eggs in the mix. Oops. So good.

Of course, on Sunday we went to Cora's for breakfast and I got a crepe omelette's. Mmmm. With hollandaise sauce. Not vegan either.

I think I've decided that I am not doing a vegan diet again. We came out of it trying only one new recipe. And the one new thing we started doing, roasting veggies and tomatoes in the oven instead of making a pasta sauce, we did last night and added pesto sauce and sprinkling cheese on top, and it was so much more awesome.

Besides, did you know they make foam insulation for your house out of soy?!!? What can they not do with that bean. It's gotten a little scary!!

And after re-reading this post I think I've had a very indulgent weekend and need to hit the gym. Eep!!
