I'm making dinner. I really need to go grocery shopping and have practically no food here, so dinner is multi-grain flax-seed spaghetti with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic. Possibly some nutritional yeast, too. (Mix nutritional yeast with something salty or vinegary, and you get a cheesy flavor. It's deeply weird.)
(I actually do have some carrots and lentils and split peas, and could make soup. Or I could make some seitan, since I've got some wheat gluten. But both of those would take time and require slicing vegetables, which I don't feel like doing tonight.)
My student copy of 3ds Max came via UPS, just in time for me to get some school work done this weekend!
multi-grain flax-seed spaghetti
Is this TJ's by any chance? If so, how is it?
I used to love putting nutritional yeast on pop corn. Mmm mmm.

Yep, it's the TJ's, and very good. Absolutely the best flax-seed pasta I've had, and one of the best whole-grain ones. (The best whole-grain one, IMO, is the Bionaturae, with the Safeway house brand a close second. This isn't quite as good as those, but still yum. Flax-seed pasta tastes a bit different than regular pasta, so you've got to think about the sauces a bit -- I think it would taste kind of weird with marinara, but it's good with something less tomato-ey, and fabulous with something a little earthier, like a sauce with balsamic vinegar or a peanut sauce. Basically, the flax seed gives it a slightly nutty taste, so you've got to take that into consideration.)
Wonderful news about Miss Grace! Yay!
Theo, that guy is an asshole.
GC, I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty.
My diet has been sadly lacking in actual vegetables lately. I've been getting in maybe two vegetable servings a day. (Today, I think I had just one -- some spinach empanadas for lunch.) I've got no fresh veggies, because nothing at the grocery store lately has looked remotely appetizing. I hate winter. I think I've got some frozen haricots verts. I could heat those up with some sesame oil or something, I guess.
I'm going here for dinner. Poutine! [link]
