amma making french fries
yes
she is truly my spiritual teacher
i need the internet to know
today for brunch i had a pumpernickel bagel
with toffuti better than cream cheese spread,
tomato slices,
mixed greens from my greenhouse
& a shit ton of old bay seasoning, which turned out to be a great idea
IT WAS AMAZING
GRANOLA!
i love granola. in the community where i live, the bakery makes the granola — but it has honey & i just cannot eat (conventional) honey. that is a very different discussion, of course…the point here is: everyone eats granola all of the time here but i can’t & usually that’s fine with me. usually. every once in a while i get a wicked craving for it — tonight was one of those times. i decided to just make it myself! even though i have never made granola before. i really enjoy making recipes up as i go along, i rarely follow a recipe at all & when i do i disregard half of the suggestions. this is not an exact recipe because i eyeballed almost everything & followed no general guidelines. this is highly experimental granola!! it’s in the oven now…hopefully it turns out ok :/
anyway, i’ll give you the ingredients list:
- rolled oats
- sunflower oil
- maple syrup
- 2 SMALL HANDFULS of unrefined sugar
- 2 PINCHES of flour
- 1 PINCH cinnamon
- 1 PINCH nutmeg
- 1 PINCH ginger
- raisins
- crushed walnuts
- flax seeds
- sunflower seeds
- pumpkin seeds
- 1 TBS crunchy peanut butter
- 1 TBS earth balance
SO EXCITED, Y’ALL
EDIT: i baked this around 350 for like 15 minutes & took the granola out of the oven half-way through to mix it up. add the raisins, walnuts, & all the seeds only AFTER the oats have been baked & cooled.

oh my god. noms.
Every time I give Chad the bigger piece of something, I feel like Wow, I love you so much. Because I never want to give anyone the bigger piece of anything. I don’t even actually want to give Chad the bigger piece. I just want him to have it.this has inspired me to give mikhail more of my french fries.
i really like him a lot, y’all.
yes, i mean i don’t actually want to give him my fries but i want him to have all of the fries he wants. i will give him all of my fries if that is what it takes, which means he is really very special because i don’t even like other people to look at my fries the wrong way. someone asked if they could have one of my fries a few weeks ago & i quickly spat, “NO.” people laugh it off, but i’m serious about potatoes.
this has inspired me to give mikhail more of my french fries.
i really like him a lot, y’all.
