Got my Hair Cut!!!

I got my hair cut today. I really didn't need one, but i wanted it to be shaped up for my sisters wedding next week. It is such a beautiful day here in Reading, Pennsylvania! I want to go out for a walk at Gring's Mill, a runners, bikers, and walkers, path that runs along a large creek. It is gorgeous there, but unfortunately i cant. Why?  Well, I am a procrastinator!! I am leaving tomorrow morning to visit friends in Indiana, and I didn't not pack!!! ooops. 

I am really excited though, they live only 25 minutes from Louisville, Ky. It is a very clean city and i enjoy visiting it. Last time i was out there they took me to Ramsi's Cafe on the world. I had the most delicious vegan sandwich there. I still dream about it.....hahaha.... really great cuisine! www.ramsiscafe.com   I got the grilled vegetable panini....mmmm. I should try to mimic it! 

Well, there are plans being made for this weekends trip that involve other vegetarian/vegan friendly restaurants! I am excited!!

                                                 My New Hair Cut!

Sweet Treat

                         maple butter is not made from butter

This is my night time snack.... 

Maple Butter on puffed wheat kernel cakes

and an orange

I shouldv'e opted for pb on the cakes, but i didn't....oh well. This is yummy. Maple Butter is dairy-free..... it is made from maple syrup!! They heat the syrup, then stir it while cooling until it is the consistency of icing. Perfect for a sweet tooth!

YUMMY VEGAN SOUP!!

          

I just had a most delicious lunch.... Amy's Organic Black Bean Vegetable Soup. So Good!!! And the quickest easiest thing to prepare, since it's canned! haha

 

I then added cubed avocado, cubed tomato, and a sprinkle of chili powder. YUM YUM and very very filling. In fact too filling.... i shouldv'e only had half! The soup can is two servings! 

okay.... i'm adding to this post.... i ate this soup around noon and it stuck with me all day long.... it is 730 and i am not even hungry!!! I had toast around 10 then this soup and water.... and a green tea all day long..... crazy!!! Maybe it's because i over indulged in the soup serving....haha.   later I will have an orange and pb toast with my night time cup of chamomile tea... just a light snack to hold me till breaky!!!

Funny Video

This Video is funny. This kid just had oral surgery and is all befuddled. It is so cute, and funny!

I love it when he asks "is this real life?" HaHa! 

Birdsong

I love Andrew Bird!!! I only have a few songs by him, but i love him! I saw him on itunes one time and didn't really give him any special attention. After a friend played him in the car, I decided I needed to check him out more. Happy I did!!

He is like a one man band. He whistles, plays the violin, guitar, and what is that a glockenspiel!!!??? One of the kids I nanny for came home from school with one. I love that name.... glockenspiel! HAHA  And, call me crazy, but he really reminds me of Jeff Buckley! Listen to his voice after he plays the violin, right around 4 minutes. I just love that Violin!!!! And the fact that he whistles like a bird, and his name is bird, is a riot!!!

I am definitely gonna buy his albums! I keep listening to the few i have over and over again. I need more!!!! 

Rice Cakes and Internet Cafe's

I just love rice cakes. Today I was at the mall and was getting so hungry, I suddenly realized that in my purse was a delicious low calorie snack. YUM YUM!! My favorite is Suzie's Puffed Kamut cakes sweetened with agave. It is puffed wheat kernels. They are often associated with dieting, and I can see why. It is so light, it is the perfect in between meals snack. Sometimes when i am really craving something sweet, i will put a little stawberry jam on it. Goes great with tea!!! I think i will go have some!!

Well, while the puffed wheat cake held me over, I made my way towards a cute little cafe near a college. It is called college corner cafe. I had an everything bagel with hummus, tomato, onion and  sprouts. It was so good!!! I wish i had my laptop with though. I like to order tea or coffee and take a picture of myself. I want to visit all the internet cafe's I possibly can and collect pictures of myself with a mug. 

#1 Why I'm THE RAVISHING VEG

This is my first post on my very first blog! I have enjoyed reading so many other blogs that I have decided to write about my own opinions on everyday life and events. I AM THE RAVISHING VEG!!! I chose that name because I love food and I love being a vegetarian... it is a lot of who i am. Whenever I'm  hungry, I always say to my best friend, "I'm ravishing." I said this instead of ravenous by accident one time, years ago, so i still use it.  Also, ever since going strictly vegetarian, i feel RAVISHING!!!!
