back on track...once again

remember how i was going to blog once a week, or at least once every other week? clearly i still need some work....

so here is a post recapping things i meant to blog about long ago:

1- i've been in the new house for almost two months ago and it is fabulous. when i moved in here i finally cleaned out my old room at my folk's house once and for all. it is now a much more tastefully decorated guest room. but while i was cleaning it out i found a few gems. remember these?
(answer- t-shirt dress that KT & I attempted to make senior year & bamboo ninja stick from freshman year) it was tough for me to get rid of treasures such as these...but even a pack rat such as myself must move on.

2-my sister in law sent me more pictures from our road trip- the Office Scranton sign is in fact now in the Steamtown mall. But don't worry, it has a nature background so it still looks like it is outside. disappointing.


3- the only food i have every truly detested is tofu. well last year my coworker/friend found out about this and was determined to change my mind. she said it's all about what kind of tofu you buy and then how you prepare it.....well she was right and the resulting tofu sandwiches are delicious. last week i bought some for myself and prepared tofu sandwiches a few nights for dinner.
the proof:

and the recipe:

Ingredients:

Twin oaks Italian herb Tofu

Tamari (I used soy sauce)

black pepper

cheddar cheese

Annies- goddess dressing (very key)

wheat bread (a coworker traded me homemade bread pictured above for a ride home....worth it)

lettuce, tomato, onion (as you wish)

Directions:

*slice tofu into slices

*fry in olive oil and tamari untill crispy (put pepper on top while cooking)

*smother in cheese

*put on bread

*add lettuce, tomato, onion, Goddess dressing

*put on other piece of bread

*eat


and if i can be turned towards tofu....anyone can (plus as a bonus it's super cheap!)


ok that's enough updates for now...

So there's a girl in nursing school that lived and worked at the twin oaks commune for two years. She still lives there on the weekends!
