Confession Time

I have not been completely faithful to this blog as of late. I started up another one about my reading endeavors in the next couple months.

I recently finished the Time Traveler's Wife and loved it! It is mind bogglingly wonderful. Now I'm onto The Help by Kathryn Stockett and very much enjoying it!

I've been trying to stick to my goal of making better food and have been doing pretty good - last week was the lull between the end of my groceries and before I went shopping again. So I admit, last week there was more pasta, toast, eggs than there should have been. But I'm back on track.

This morning I made Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. And they were so good. SO GOOD. I put a little bit of nutella on top of them and some kiwi on the side and was pleasantly full as I left to go to work. I made enough batter that I will have a few breakfasts worth of yumminess.

At school today we continued practicing our English play "Stan Tooth Shark's Lost Treasure" coming to the Les Hauteurs community centre this spring!! The students are loving it and as am I. Today was more frustrating than usual because the kids were abnormally wired. So by the end of the day, I was exhausted.

Tonight though I made Carrot-Ginger soup and attempted a Raw Chocolate Shake to go with it. The Carrot Ginger soup was really good (a bit too much garlic maybe but still great). The chocolate shake however was close to repulsive. Why the recipe suggested maple syrup to "sweeten" it is beyond me.

I poured it down the sink. Ick.

Now I'm about to settle into reading more of The Help and then skyping with my kindred spirit in a bit. :)

(I apologize for the scattered-ness of this post, it is kind of my stream of consciousness at the moment)
