Salmon fish sticks. I love the writing in that Revenge of the Nerds movie where the nerd is asked, "Don't you know what this writing on my hat means?" The nerd responds, "Malcolm ten?" Later, the nerds marvel at the dinner prepared at their hero nerd's house who is now a Bill Gates type character sold out to the success of nerddom and now a changed personality. The nerd hero asks over dinner, "What's wrong?" The nerd answers, "It's just that I've never seen fish before that wasn't in stick form." Fish sticks. Just the idea cracks me up. I vaguely recall my mom fixing them when I was in the first grade. She also heated breaded scallops. I picked off the breading revealing a white disk. I put my disks together forming a cylinder. I recall asking if scallops were really a snake that was cut up. My mom laughed and answered, "Yes." Suspicion confirmed, I lived with this untruth for an additional 16 years. Scene II: Cape Cod, oyster shack. The proprietor had a large poster behind the fish counter depicting various seafood items. I noted the scallops were pictured, as, well, scallops. I said to the owner, a rough looking fellow unshaven and with an unclean white apron and twice my weight, "Your fish poster is wrong," with all of the certainty of a twenty-one year old. The owner sneered, "Oh yeah? What's wrong with it?" He left off the "Punk" but it was implied. I go, it shows scallop like a clam and it's really a snake that chopped up." He looked hard at me pathetically, then laughed like I was totally retarded. Then carefully explained the truth and the details behind their preparation. I blame my mother.

Playing around with another cold process soap. I've been wanting to try adding pumpkin to the soap and I've been wanting to attempt a swirl....We shall see how both of these turn out tomorrow. This soap came to gel stage very quickly, I'm guessing this particular fragrance oil helped to speed up the whole process.
My recipe was for four pounds of oils, so I figured a four pound loaf mold would work fine..so that's all I had lined. After pouring and swirling that one, I had to do a very quick emergency lining on my one pound mold and get the last bits of soap poured into that before it started to set up. Lesson learned, I know better than to use a new untested recipe without having some form of back-up mold on stand-by.
Each batch is made from scratch, this is gentle but deep cleaning, and will leave your skin soft, supple and incredibly moisturized without an oily after-feel. Contains Ground Rosemary, White China Clay, Finely ground Espresso Bean, Activated Charcoal, Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E, and Glycerin. There are absolutely NO detergents or soap of any kind in this product to damage very sensitive skin. Will not only gently clean, but will also lightly exfoliate and de-toxify.
Comes in a 4oz volume weight jar.
Easy to use, just pinch off a small pea sized piece and rub in hands add a touch of water and rub gently onto face, then rinse!
I took a picture of the ingredients but while cooking decided not to use green peas. There were enough vegetables already. Masaman Curry Paste was bought at Bangkok Market in Chinatown.

Sugar-less, wheat-less, butter-less, egg-less...so what else is left of these cookies?! The good stuff, apparently. Carnival cookies from 101 Cookbooks' Super Natural Cooking are packed with dark chocolate, cacao nibs, popcorn, and peanuts. All held together with a mixture of banana, coconut oil, oat, and ground almond.
Yes, vegan.

Fresh homemade banana bread...yummmm! I tweaked the ingredients a bit (used coconut oil instead of butter, white sugar instead of brown, Salba [chia grain] in addition, 1/2 cup less flour, and walnuts of course!)
