Homemade granola and applesauce...

[go_team]

...is a very, very good breakfast. It's also incredibly hippy and D-I-Y, but really, that's what makes it so good for me. I can't believe I went for so long thinking applesauce involved some kind of long, complicated process. But no! Apples, water, rice cooker, potato masher... and like an hour later I'm all set! Woo! Anyway, I got up this morning and tried to work on the rental application for the place we looked at on Wednesday, but I got all freaky-stressed out about it (that'll teach me to try to be productive before breakfast). I'm feeling much better (although still a little nervous) now that I've showered and had my tasty, tasty breakfast treat. Mmmm. All I need now is a pot of tea and I'll be ready to give the paperwork another shot.

In other news, I got paid yesterday! Woo! This tutoring thing is, like, a real job! Woo! My second student (the one I accidentally ditched on Tuesday) was totally cool about the fact that I stood her up, but I apologized about a million times anyway. And conic sections are my bitch. So if/when I get sick of working on the rental application or my renter's resume or the cover letter (we really like this place we're applying for, so we're going kind of buck wild trying to impress the landlord and lady) I might switch to working on business cards and/or posters advertising my tutoring services. Anything to distract me from stressing about my first day at the Glenwood tomorrow. I'm so nervous... ack! Must stop thinking about it! I know, I'll go make some tea...

Thanks Liz! To be fair, I made the granola almost a week ago, and the applesauce is even older, so technically this morning I only put together some leftovers, but since they were leftovers I made (and so very tasty to boot), it did make me feel pretty spiffy. I'd say breakfast is one of my favorite meals to cook, but I also like dinner a lot too, so whatever. Yay for food is what I say. Yay!

I agree! And yay for natural food that doesn't contain partially hydrogenated stuff or ingredients with 9 syllables! Does that make me a hippy too?

[goteam.livejournal.com]

For all my hippitude (is that a word?) I'm still a conventional peanut butter-eater (only Skippy, though; the other brands are too sweet), and this means I eat partially hydrogenated oils, because apparently that's what stops the peanut butter from separating into an oil layer and a nut layer. Or something. I'm either a giant hippie or a giant food snob for knowing that, perhaps both.

i'm not quite either of those, but i can't handle skippy. gotta be the old-fashioned kind with the nut and oil layers. only i pour off the oil layer before i eat it so i just get the nummy peanut stuff. tastes the same, but with slightly less fat.
