Vegan Irish Soda Bread
I make this every year for St. Paddy’s Day. I make it sweet with raisins. It’s the only non-savory non-dessert bread that I make. It’s moist and deeelicious. I baked it this last time in a bundt pan which made for a nice presentation and easy to slice. 
I don’t know what the historical significance is of Irish soda bread. I just know it’s wonderful and you should make it. Green food coloring, optional. :)
You will need:
1 ½ C whole wheat flour
1 ½ C all purpose flour
1/3 C sugar
2 t baking powder
140 g jumbo raisin medley (comes out to about 1 C)
1 t salt
1 ¾ C light soymilk
2 T white wine vinegar
½ vanilla soy yogurt (I like Whole Soy.)
2 T unsweetened applesauce
green food coloring
To make:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, mix your soymilk and vinegar. Let it curdle to make soy buttermilk. Set that aside.
In a separate bowl mix your dry ingredients (flours, baking powder). To this we’ll add the raisins.
You can use regular raisins if you like, about a cup. I used these because that’s what Andy got me at the store. They’re huge so I chopped them before I added them. I loved the mixed raisins and I think I’d make it like this again. The different colors were pretty almost like fruit cake.
You’ll want to take about ½ T of the dry ingredients and mix that with the raisins in a separate bowl. Flouring the raisins helps them separate and not clump together in the batter. Then add the floured raisins to your dry mix.
To your buttermilk add your sugar, salt, yogurt, and applesauce. Mix that then add it to your dry ingredients and mix. The batter is much like a thick cake batter. At this point, if you wanted to be festive for St. Paddy’s Day you could add some green food coloring to your batter. 
Pour into one greased bundt pan or two greased loaf pans. I grease with cooking spray. Bake for one about hour. For two pans, test for doneness with a toothpick at 35 min, but I’m thinking the timing is still closer to 45 min. 
It’s done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Slice into 12 pieces. Each slice contains 188 cals, 43g carbs, 1g fat, 6g protein, Irishness, and the overwhelming desire to eat another slice.
We served this with Irish stew and colcannon. :)

Spicy Italian Lentils
I really like lentils. They’re tasty and full of fiber and protein and the flavor is light so you can do a lot with them.
Years ago in my pregan days (pregan is before vegan, that’s a word I should use more often) I went to Carrabbas with my family. I ordered this sausage lentil soup (I don’t remember the name), in a bowl which you should never get soup at Carrabbas in a bowl because it’s like a punch bowl, and it was AHHH-MAZING. I’ve always wanted to make lentils like THAT.
So tonight I was feeling kinda puny, and so was Andy. I decided it was a good night for lentils. Something not too heavy but filling. I thought tonight was as good a time as ever to try and copy that taste.  
Sometimes I even impress myself.  This is a simple recipe (aren’t all my recipes?) that you can throw together and serve with garlic bread.  I used split red lentils because that’s what I had.  I like the split ones because they cook much faster.  I bet you could use whatever lentils you want.
You will need:
2 C dry lentils
4 C h2o
1 - 28 oz can of diced tomatoes in tomato juice
1 yellow onion
½ t thyme
1 t marjoram
1 t parsley
1 t basil
1 t oregano
1 t fennel
2 t salt
2 t red pepper flakes
1 T onion powder
1 T granulated garlic
1 T red wine vinegar
To make:
First they say you should inspect and rinse your lentils. I mean, I’ve heard that, and I did it because I’m OCD paranoid about doing shit wrong. Some people just trust their lentils.
Put that in the pot with your water and heat that up on medium to medium high.  I think this is a good time to add your spices.  All the spices I used were dried, not fresh. The fennel I ground by hand in the molcajete. I add the spices here because I want the lentils to grab those flavors as they cook. If you’re not a fan of heat, you can back off on the amount of red pepper flakes, but that’s honestly not TOO hot when all is said and done. 
Stir, stir, stir. That’s the fun part of cooking in a big pot. 
Next you can toss in your tomatoes.  By this point your lentils will appear to turn peach or yellow if you’re using the red colored ones. That means they’re cooking. 
Chop your onion in as fine of pieces as you want to eat. They’re going to cook down a bit. Don’t forget your vinegar. Drop all that in there and stir. Drop your heat down to low and let that cook, covered, until your onions are translucent and soft. Stir when you want to. 
I set mine to simmer and was able to leave it and go bathe the boy. I’ll say all in all it might have simmered for 20-30 min. 
And that’s it, you’re done. The flavor I was going for was Italian sausage lentil soup tomatoey kinda goodness. Andy says I hit it on the head with the possible exception of adding in some seitan sausages for texture. 
I made garlic toast in the oven to serve with this. I bet some sliced French bread with a little butter and garlic would be DIVINE. The stiff toast is a nice variation in texture, though, and lower in calories, I bet.
This recipe makes 10 one cup servings. 88 calories, 20g carbs, 0g fat, 7g protein per serving. (That doesn’t include the bread. :))

i dont know exactly how to articulate this in a way other people havent but everything is too fast now. 24/7 news cycle, online focuses that last for hours instead of months or years, songs written just so ten seconds can go viral. movies and books churned out to meet some nebulous income quota. idk. im motion sick

Affirming. 😊
Tarot message for someone:
I’m getting this message a lot:
You will be moving into a new home/apartment in this year still either in Sagittarius season but basically still in this year. (Affirm specifically when and where you want to move because you have the power to create your wanted result).
Don’t worry about finances, you are getting an offer that will support and compliment your desired lifestyle.
It’s like your heart is in the right place and you’ve matured...that’s why you are “leveling up” and the blessings are going to start to roll in abundantly.
Read my pinned post for a personal reading✨

Two Years
It’s been two years ago my co-parent passed away. It’s still hard to wrap my brain around but I’m managing to find some pathways I can navigate through grief.
We joke about this but it seems like Thanksgiving is cursed in my family. I’m not sure when it started, but every Thanksgiving something bad happens to one of us.
I was talking to Michael the other day about how I deal with trauma…
