Happy birthday Canada.  I have been cooking up a storm for the last week.  With my Godess'sss new dietary change, I have stolen many of her new cookbooks and put them to good use.  No, they weren't thrown into the fire!   One thing about fire, She loves things hot hot hot!  Note to self:  Spicy is next to happy, and bland is asking for "off with your head!" :)  SO Thanks to a book by Sarah Kramer, and "the Joy of Vegan Baking" I have whipped up with more or less approval my very first fresh: Guacamole, olph4rt's tvp spicyph4rtychili, banana and espresso "ice cream', banana strawberry blueberry "ice cream", tofu scramble, and an awesome homemade super fresh from scratch crumbly flaky apple pie with the Godess'sss own hand ground nutmeg ...

I have also tried for the first time an iced Americano, which was better and more flavourful than I ever imagined!  Who knew!
I also put together the espresso machine, and can now actually USE IT TO MAKE COFFEE...again, who knew!  Now to drag ma boy outside to enjoy our local celebration with games and animals, fireworks...who knows!
