Happy Chinese New Year! Hope you get to have a big feast to celebrate. Me, I'm on prison rations these days. Winter greens and kale soup. This is the third week, the novelty has worn off and I am grouchy and craving apple pie. Yesterday I made miso kale soup. Big whoop.
Anyway, Catherine and I went to the premiere of my play which was fun. The actress did such a good job. I was thrilled! The small theater was packed out, and I'm glad the event was such a success.
Thrilling news: I have a monologue about my love of dairy that's gonna be published in an anthology. Yeah!
In the meantime I've got to practice for the big concert coming up on Sunday and the storytelling event on Friday. No notes for the storytelling, so I have to memorize my bullet points. And I have to make sure I don't go over seven minutes which is way too easy for me to do! So many stories, so little time.

Atonement
"It's funny to see the difference in what people buy before and after Christmas, " the cashier at Choices remarks. "Right now I'm seeing tons of vegetables, diet foods, vitamins, and protein drinks--lots of protein drinks." She should know. It's time for atonement. Time for wild rice cooked up with dried oyster mushrooms. Tofu cubes rolled in toasted sesame seeds, baked and served with orange bell peppers, carrots, over brown jasmine rice with tamari. Time to meditate over a bowl of rice and lentils. Time to oust the pasta and refined flours and sugars. It's a SHIFT, people. I feel better already!
Last night I made chunky apple sauce with some galas that were past their prime. The secret ingredient? Lots of cardamom. Just apples, cinnamon, and cardamom. Last night we had some fresh, warm applesauce for dessert. The perfect atonement.
I also tried to figure out a recipe for those power snowballs. I came up with this:
1 cup cashew butter (or any nut or seed butter)
1/2 cup toasted flaked unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup chia seeds
2/3 c oatmeal flakes whirled in the food processor
1/8 cup agave nectar
I think you need to adjust the amount of oatmeal according to how much oil is in the nut or seed butter.
I melted 2/3 cup white chocolate chips for the outer coating and rolled them in about 1/2 c coconut flakes.
