Never look at delicious pictures of food at night.
Especially when you're already in bed and it's too late to cook anything.
I just made the mistake of looking at a picture of the pizza Mod and I had at Flatbread the other night and I'm pretty sure I drooled a little. And now I'm hungry and can't do anything about it because I'm in bed and already brushed my teeth. But I know I'll go hunting for pizza tomorrow. Maybe I'll even drive back up to Vermont. I mean, just look at this pizza.

It's so popular that you can't even make a reservation over the phone. On popular weekends, you have to go there at like 3pm to even think about being able to put your name down at 4pm when they start actually taking reservations. It's pretty frustrating for newcomers. They have this sign up in the restaurant:

Vermont aside, I haven't written a blog post in a while. I got back from Lebanon two weeks ago and I've just been SO busy. Oh wait, no I haven't. I've been doing nothing except seeing friends and hanging out with family. Which isn't a bad deal, if you ask me. But sometimes my days get boring and I end up watching
That '70s Show for 3 hours. Which I guess isn't a bad deal either.
...Anyway.
I figured I should cook something new (I made Mexican quinoa again last week but I've already done a post on that). I was in Vermont this past weekend with my family, and our Vermont house just screams comfort food. So in between playing Rat-a-tat-cat and watching my 3-year old cousin Amin dance to dubstep, I found a recipe to make: Mac and Cheeze with a cashew-based sauce.
Now, I know I've done a mac and cheeze post before, with 3 different recipes, but I've now come to the conclusion that cheeze with a cashew base is just the best. Even my mama agrees, and she likes her real cheese. So the minute we got back from Vermont, I got to work. And oh, it was delicious. I got this recipe from
Vegan Heartland. I haven't really checked out the blog that much; I just saw the pic of the mac and cheeze on Foodgawker. But now that I know how delicious the mac was, I'm definitely gonna check out more recipes!
I didn't make any adjustments to the recipe from Vegan Heartland, so here's a link to it. I'm too lazy to write it out myself:
Baked Macaroni and Cashew Cheeze.
Don't worry, though. I have pictures.

Even my brother loved it! According to my mom, he went downstairs this morning and said "Who made the pasta??? It was amazing!!!" When my mom told him that not only had I made it, but it was dairy-free, he proceeded to say "Well, it was a little dry." Whatever, he ate it at like 1 in the morning. It was perfectly creamy when I ate it.
Anyway, it's getting late, and I have to watch
That '70s Show. Obviously. I made something else for dinner tonight, so a new recipe will be coming soon!
Song of the Day--
View of Silence by Joe Hisaishi. Hisaishi is my favorite composer. I love watching videos of his live performances; he gets so into it. I'm learning this song on the piano right now! It's loads of fun to play, but challenging.
Recovery Link of the Day--I like this picture.
Love and Light,
Carina
