Don't eat the yellow snow
When I took a minute to reflect today and looked through my itunes most listened to this week page I realized that there seems to be a pattern of music reflecting my mood this week.
A few artists on the most listened to:
Akron/Family
Maria Taylor
Belle and Sebastian
Elliott Smith
Microphones
Magnetic Fields
and one certain fiery furnace song that always gets me..
Can anyone guess how I've been feeling this week?
Time to throw on some Femmes or maybe The Saints, clean my apartment and carry on with my life, geez!!
Not too stoked about it but first of many inches of snow to come came last night but that does mean sledding and cocoa with mini marshmallows, YA!

Please be kind
Anyone who knows me or has even spoken to me for more than 5 minutes can tell that I am an animal lover, absurdly, if that's possible. It is my own personal choice to not eat, wear or contribute in any feasible way to their endangerment or demise. HOWEVER, I do believe in everyone's choice to choose haha. But, I will spread whatever propaganda that I want!!
It's not militant, just a very sweet and pleasant reminder to be kind to all the inhabitants of our glorious planet. =)

Also, on that note. I will now post one of the yummiest breakfast treats ever!! It's a vegetarian recipe but there are side notes on how to vegan it up if you should choose. MMMMM!!!
ORANGE FRENCH TOAST (simple enough)
Ingredients- 3 Large eggs or equal amount of vegan egg replacer, 1 tsp orange zest (Zest, if you don't know, is tiny bits of the peel of the orange. Only the orange part itself, if you get the inner white part of the peel it is very bitter. You can use a tiny kitchen tool called a "zester" or you can use a sharp knife and just cut off tiny shreds of the peel.), 3/4 Cup orange juice (I find pulp free works better but whatever kind or brand gets you jazzed is fine), 2 tbsp. honey, 6 slices whole wheat bread, 1 tbsp vegetable margarine or butter.
PREPARATION-
In a large bowl whisk together eggs (or replacer), zest, oj and honey. Arrange the bread slices in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or even overnight if you choose to prepare breakfast the night before. The time in the fridge allows for the mixture to saturate the bread and for the dee-lih-shous flavors to enhance.
COOKING-
Heat a large nonstick (or use the spritz stuff) skillet on medium heat. Brush with margarine. Add bread to the pan in batches, approximately 3 minutes a side but that will obviously vary, cook until each side is golden brown.
AND THAT'S IT!
It's so so yummy! It's good plain, with butter, with syrup, honey, however you prefer your french toast!!

The world is a bit under the weather
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
