While chopping some dried apricots to put in our morning oatmeal yesterday, Gary reminisced about a rustic apricot bread he loved that he used to get at the Acme Bread Company in Berkeley. He described it and this morning we set out to make our REAL version, based on Gary’s memory. It was fun and…
Breakfast: What’s the different twist on this morning’s oatmeal? We’ve been out of soy milk for a while and haven’t had a chance to pick some up. (I just ordered some West Soy Unsweetened Soy Milk online). Gary made a quick milk from cashews. This topped our Oatmeal with fresh Blueberries, Walnut, Dried Apricots and…

Breakfast: Still in the holiday celebratory mode and wanting to get out after being cooped up for a week with a cold we planned a special day. We got up early, had some Vanilla Black Tea with Coconut Milk and headed to the subway to the AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 theater for the 8:45am…
Breakfast: Just tea for breakfast this morning. When we are out of soy milk, we usually make a batch of coconut milk using Let’s Do Organic Creamed Coconut. We dilute it more than recommended with 3 cups of water to a 7 ounce package and we find it’s just right. Lunch: We celebrated my…
Breakfast: After a late night and lots of great food at our New Year’s Eve party for two at home I was not hungry in the morning. I was thirsty and in the mood for fruit, grapefruit with a little Earl Grey Tea. Lunch: Nothing like a mountain of kale after an evening of…
