BUT

if there is any cause to celebrate this evening ( ) I have a back-up bottle of champagne in the house. I don't drink but I will on this occasion. I will go around to the neighbors, pouring champagne as long as it lasts.

2. I was planning on a burger with mashed potatoes and a side salad, cold tea

Depending, I might order fancy ice cream through door dash. Local place does a ice cream sandwich made of chocolate chip cookies, ice cream of choice and then rolled in nuts.
I haven't had that in years

5. Asparagus Steam-Fry

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, red bell pepper, sliced carrots, sliced mushrooms, cut asparagus and minced garlic. When done I stirred in cooked pea protein infused rotini, air-fried tofu cubes and a small amount of vegan butter. Homemade vegan parm on top after plating. Cheers!🥂

Those who read my dinner postings might recognize that I often use vegan parmesan “cheese” on many of my dishes. It’s really simple to make and it adds tremendous flavor to any dish that uses dairy parmesan. I even sprinkle it on salads sometimes.

Vegan Parmesan Recipe

1 cup raw cashews
4 Tbsps nutritional yeast
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
Put all ingredients in a food processor or NutriBullet style blender and process in short bursts. Stop as soon as it’s all blended. It will clump up if you over process it. Only takes a few seconds to process. Store in a cool dry place.

6. My day's been all turned around

Finally had my dinner, and it was breakfast—tofu scrambler, oatmeal pancakes with proper maple syrup, and fresh strawberries.

Best part is that I did TWO pounds of tofu so I can snarf that at breakfast (probably cold because I’m that lazy—and it’s good!) Strawberries were 3# for$10 so we get to feast like fiends before they get old and tired.

And now I lie down with a book and will probably fall straight to sleep because I am blissfully stuffed.

I’ve got half a bottle of Laphroaig on tap for any celebrating—even if it means I get stupid drunk for breakfast. Keep a good thought!
