I really need the deed...to a platinum mine.

I went out for a really short walk today...my fingers were starting to get super painfully cold without gloves, and collected a bunch of pretty fall leaves. Originally I was going to make a garland, but I don't have much room for something that long, so I just taped them to the wall in a gradient pattern. I really like it. Fall is by far my favorite season. I have loads of photos from a few hiking trips to upload soon!

She got a smile.

It's been a week? What? How!? I had posts planned, even! Jeez. Well...maybe I'll pay more attention this time around. Sheesh. More of me living vicariously. Ahh, dream life.

Beautiful, stocked pantry. I ordered my first 12 canning jars from Amazon.

I want chickens sooo much. I imagine he's saying, "C'mon ladies. Follow me."

Road trip day 4: Oklahoma

More on my flickr.

We went through Arkansas, but I have lots of pictures from there, so it'll be a separate post. I loved the variations of colors in the land on the farmlands. It was like a constant string of paintings.

You're aces, kid.

Doing a round-up of breakfasts I'd made while I still lived in Flagstaff. That was the main meal I ate there.

Tofu and mango chutney, a nectarine, eggplant slices cooked in soy sauce, potatoes, carrots and bell peppers cooked and served with Greek yogurt, and soymilk.

An easy-over egg, orange slices, home-made stuffing (it was really good), tofu slices cooked with soy sauce, and coffee.

Steamed green beans, sliced apple, thinly sliced cooked potato, avocado and tomato slices on top of an egg cooked with bell pepper and onion.

Cinnamon raisin English muffin with Greek yogurt, fried bananas, strawberry slices, easy-over egg cooked in left-over soy sauce, mushrooms and black beans cooked in soy sauce and lime juice, and cooked asparagus.

Asparagus cooked with s&p, avocado slices, mango slices, easy-over egg, potatoes cooked with basil and topped with Greek yogurt, and orange juice.

Ciabatta bread, egg plant slices cooked in soy sauce, cooked onion and bell pepper slices, and Greek yogurt, avocado slices, potato wedges cooked in s&p, apple slices and blueberries, and soymilk.

Bread with little elephants cut out and an egg cooked in the middle so the yolk is in tact, cooked onion and bell pepper slices, potato slices cooked with a little paprika, chili powder and cumin, and a sliced banana.

Baked potato with ketchup, quail eggs (they're surprisingly creamy), fake sausages from the Asian market (they taste a bit like...matzo), French bread with peanut butter, and mozzarella with maple syrup, an orange and coffee.

French toast topped with fried bananas and powdered sugar, cooked left-over egg from batter, watermelon slices and strawberries.

Chick peas, yellow squash, bell pepper, mushrooms cooked with curry, turmeric, s&p, cooked potato and onion slices, easy-over egg and tofu slices.

This was one of my most favorite breakfasts...it came out so well, and hit so many tastes.

Cinnamon raisin English muffin, banana slices and honey, easy-over egg and cooked mushroom slices, tofu with bbq sauce, potato wedges cooked with tomato slices, cooked bell pepper and onion slices and tea.

The lighting in this photo doesn't make it seem as appealing, but...

Potato and onion slices cooked in chili powder, s&p, cumin, coriander and turmeric, golden tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper cooked and topped with mozzarella in the pan so it melted, easy-over egg, and cooked asparagus.
