grad school is great! the group people i am with have bonded so quickly and so well. :) we're like a little make-shift family. two of the girls got me a vegan pb cookie (for my birthday which was thursday [2-3!]) among other thoughtful and unexpected gifts. these are good people. this is a good time in life for me. <3

autumn goodness

i worked 9 hours today...so i came home and had too much PBR. i am making up for not being able to tailgate for the ILLINI game right? sure. anyway...FOOOOOOOD:::


the cauliflower and carrots <from my dad's garden!> i had with garlic hummus the other night...
i made squash yesterday. i never thought i liked it. but when i went vegan, i had yellow squash and i enjoyed it in fajitas. so, my mom gave me this acorn squash from my dad's garden to take back to school with me. i baked last evening after drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper. it was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! i was amazed b/c i thought i hated it. it was like a potato, but different. but great. and delicious. yum.
