Today the rest of the country went back to work after the Holidays. I took today off to spend with my little brother who lives in Guam and is visiting for a friends wedding. Needless to say I was very tempted to watch TV tonight since it technically is still my vacation and the "real world" hasn't started again. Last night I started watching my recording of Desperate Housewives, but only got 8 minutes into it when my brother arrived. After he left this evening, I thought I would just simply finish watching the episode and for the no-TV-during-the-week.... I'll "start tomorrow." Haven't we all said something like that?
However, I stood strong. I decided to make some vegan recipes I had selected for my lunches this week. W was also standing strong in the No TV area, but was instead planting himself in front of his computer. Um, no. That is not how this works. And I told him so. I said I would love for him to come talk to me while I cook in the kitchen. Halfway through my recipe he made an appearance and gratefully tasted my tofu delicacies (see my other blog www.veggiegoodness.com)
As he gained momentum in the idea of cooking with me, I assigned him the task of roasting the raw cashews and then pulsing them in the food processor.
"We're using a food processor! We're cooking! I'd totally do this everynight instead of watching TV!" He said with sincerity. Melt my heart why don't you!
But then he had a realization.
"If we cook like this every night we're going to spend so much more money than stupid cable."
