These are my vegan cupcakes, I got the recipe here. As you can see, I didn't make the frosting because I live in hicktown USA and they don't have vegan shortening here. Therefore, my frosting was a little runny. Still tasty though! I made them for my birthday and I'm hoping they pass the kid test because they have no idea what's in them. They are delicious, BTW!
I gave up meat for Lent. It made me think about what else I put in my body that may not be good for me. So...I've been trying to give up dairy as well. This has been a little more difficult because dairy can be hidden in so many things. I am doing my best, however, and will continue to do so ; ) My father's cholesterol was through the roof the last time he went to the Doc and he gave up meat and dairy. In ONE MONTH he brought his cholesterol down into the normal range. On top of that, he's lost a pesky 10 lbs he's been trying to lose for a while! So I bought this book Eat, Drink and Be Vegan. It's been highly recommended and it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to try it. I need some variety.
That was just one of my purchases. I also bought a buttload of yarn. I mean, a lot of Plucky. I think it's 7 skeins, to be exact. I'll have to post pics once it all comes in the mail.
I also bought a suit from New York & Company and some jeans, which are, regretfully, way too long for me. For some strange reason I bought "tall" instead of "average" length. I'll exchange them though. Got three shirts to go along with that order too.
My hubster actually bought the vegan book and some wedge sandals for me to from crocs.com. These ones to be exact and in brown. I was really debating getting the blue though. If I like them once they get here, I might need a couple more pairs ;)
In knitting news, I cast on for Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante with some Plucky sock yarn I have. progress pics to come another time.
It's time to celebrate the big 3-1 now!!
