I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

My brain is busy and random
As I was cleaning my bathroom I thought--if I had to eat off someones bathroom floor as a dare--whose would it be?
I came up with these:
#1 My mother in law. Often when I am drinking a glass of water at her house--i set it down and when I go back to take another swig--it's missing. Her floors are meticulous--actually everything is. I'd pretty much eat off of every surface of her house.
#2 Cicily. This is my friend who is an avid cleaner. I send her into fits of hives when I post pictures of my crap piles because she can't figure out how anyone could accumulate that much crap on her floor.
#3 Sheri. My friend who is also an avid cleaner. I like when she comes over during parties because she just starts cleaning and doesn't even notice she's doing it. The only reason she's not tied for #2 is that Cicily has 1 kid and Sheri has 5. Sheer numbers.
And randomly if i had to eat out of anyone's bathtub it would be my mothers. It's always squeaky clean.
So this is how my brain works while I am cleaning.
Random right?

Hey--How's Lent?
Well since you asked. It's hard. Mostly because it's a whole lifestyle change. I think the hardest part is not loading up on carbs. I actually haven't missed meat at all. It's just finding things to eat that aren't going to fatten me up.
I have actually enjoyed some of it. I made some brown rice in the rice cooker (oh yes you can) and we had Lemon Pepper White Roughy. It was delish (we are still eating fish-we're just off land animals)
Anyhow, I had some leftover in the fridge and I didn't want it to go to waste. I spotted some zucchini and I thought . . . . hmmm. So I sauteed it with olive oil and onion, added a little sea salt and fresh cracked peppper and put it on top. It was de-lish.

We also tried this recipe for Vegeterian Enchiladas. It tasted so good! Except the flour tortillas made it kind of soggy--so I might try corn next time. I also added some sauteed mushrooms in the filling.
Well I'm off to eat Pasta. It's easy and it doesn't moo, baa or cluck.

a Vegetarian Lent

We have joked before about participating in Lent. Mormons don't traditionally do that--but it has been intriguing to us for years. So on Tuesday Hyrum brought up the subject and suggested we give up soda for Lent. I told him that I don't drink much soda, so that would be too easy. So then he said, "What about meat?". Perfect. We've been trying to go meat-less (less meat not actually meatless) Anyhow so here we are. Day two and going strong.
Should be interesting. I foresee some added pounds and a lot of cheese eating.
If you have any vegetarian meals that you love. Please link me or e-mail me the recipe.
I shall keep you updated
