still here 
... though nothing terribly interesting is going on. I am still kinda sad and I ate erratically this weekend -- meaning, I mostly didn't eat. Which I don't think helped matters.
We went out to Sweet Tomatoes the other night, this corporate chain salad bar place. It ended up being kinda miserable for me watching my sweetie eat the salad that I loved. Of course, after we talked about it, I realized that that salad was mediocre, it's always mediocre, much like the salad and fruit that I had.
But. I found a salad dressing which is ETL legal and actually makes lettuce more edible, and so I am sharing the wealth.
Cashew Butter Dressing
4 - 8 cloves garlic, dryroasted
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cashew butterTake everything, throw it in the blender. It makes 4 servings.
I've been hanging out in the ETL forums, hoping to get really amped up. It's not really happening. But I've been finding some interesting recipes which might be options to feed myself and my guy.
And I'm riding the bike. The bright spot! And eating lots of fruit.

The ETL forums are good for recipes and ideas, but there are some pretty joyless hardcore types in there who love to tell you things like "you must not brown your food because it creates trace amounts a carcinogenic substance." OH SHUT UP.
If you find yourself getting fed up there, you might try blog.fatfreevegan.com, which has some really good ETL-friendly recipes and is written by a woman who lives in the real world.
