I plan on roasting more this weekend. They are easy to prep, tasty, and make for an easy dinner. Can't beat that.<BR/><BR/>Romina - Thank you, you are right, making something yourself is always more rewarding than getting it from a box or a take out place.<BR/><BR/>Lizzy - Yeah, if you want the crust to be crispy, you might want to halve the recipe, and then halve it again like we did. It makes for some difficulty in measuring ingredients, but it is how our turned out the way it did.<BR/><BR/>That sucks, I always buy my beans dried, so if you forget to soak them, well, your meal is pretty well shot!<BR/><BR/>I think you can get to know a person quite well from blogs and stuff actually, so I don't think it is weird, whatever means it takes to engage with like minded people works for me.<BR/><BR/>I am very fond of Brett. He has more of an egalitarian view on life and in areas such as the 'division of labor'. He is also still in college (I graduated last May), so he has more time to do these sorts of things. To be honest, I haven't done laundry myself since I got my first 'real job' this past September!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, you seem like a very cool person yourself. I looked at your photography the other day, by the way, pretty neat stuff. I liked the staircase, the tree, and the mirror pictures the best!<BR/><BR/>I also understand what you mean about wishing you knew more 'like minded and thinking folk' in person. I find myself in that dilemma pretty often as the few people I know (I am very shy and a homebody so people my age [23ish] don't tend to find me very interesting as I would rather read at home on Friday and bake on Saturday than party), well they waste the stuff they have in their heads on things like video games, shopping, and television (though that is the 'American Way' eh?). My activist friends bring me down sometimes because that is ALL they do, deal with issue, organize, and it starts to get you down, 'cause things really aren't that great in the world right now. I wish I could find more people who had a balance. I think it is important to be aware of issues and such, but to also have a recreational life beyond that.<BR/><BR/>And trust me, I'm from the US, I know all about the masses whose heads are full of hot air.<BR/><BR/>Hey, I don't know if you have Facebook or not, but if you do, you can add me as a friend if you like.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-5336417576640262692008-01-30T04:39:00.000-06:002008-01-30T04:39:00.000-06:00*not drain, damnit I meant soaked =p*not drain, damnit I meant soaked =pLizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843977439200051570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-31156140625458346202008-01-30T04:38:00.000-06:002008-01-30T04:38:00.000-06:00I have thought about making my own pizza dough for...I have thought about making my own pizza dough for such a long time now and I think I'll give it a try.<BR/>I like thin crispy pizza so I guess I should also cut the recipe ;)<BR/><BR/>Roasted veggies are sooo good. My mom started doing it years ago, along with potatoes. I never wanted any potatoes though, I always stuffed my face with bell pepper, zucchini, scallions and whatnot. I love that the options are almost endless. And like you said, there's no work for us except cutting them into pieces.<BR/>I still have a few veggies left from my salad last night, I think I'll roast them tonight =)<BR/>Too bad I forgot to drain the chickpeas or else I could have made the sun dried tomato hummus. I might try the sour cream again, I don't want the silken Tofu sitting in the fridge for too long and turning bad again!<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I feel kind of weird for writing this since I actually don't "know" you. But reading how you described your relationship with Brett made me so happy. It sounds like you really found your better half there(and that he helps so much around the house, with cooking and all... well I believ you cherish the fact that you got yourself a man like that). And from the comments and the general writing of yours I got to know you as such an awesome person. I don't know, I wish I knew more people like you in real life. Kind, honest people who have something in their head. Not just hot air like most people.<BR/>Just wanted to let you know that I'm not trying to freak you out =pLizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843977439200051570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-19300114001718110652008-01-29T15:22:00.000-06:002008-01-29T15:22:00.000-06:00Your pizza looks delicious!

I am very lucky that Brett and I "fit" so well. I guess I am a believer that your significant other should be your best friend, someone you admire for who they are as people, and so on. And he's damn cute too! :-)<BR/><BR/>I had a good experience with butternut squash, it was the first time I had prepared it at home. Aside from trying to handle the size of the thing, it was a breeze to work with too. I love the flavor!<BR/><BR/>Your orangey veggie roast - great idea! Mmmmmmm. Roasted veggies are so good that they don't even need seasoning, I think I could live off of them.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-62291069338932056632008-01-28T21:14:00.000-06:002008-01-28T21:14:00.000-06:00Brett would be really useful in my kitchen - makin...Brett would be really useful in my kitchen - making breads and pizza dough really intimidates me! And I didn't interpret what you said about you and Brett as sappy at all. In fact, I am quite jealous, and very happy for you that you have someone like that in your life!<BR/><BR/>The butternut squash pancakes sound like they will be great when they finally decide to cooperate. Mmm, winter squash rocks.<BR/><BR/>You make me wanna roasted some vegetables! Ahh, some sweet potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash would make a nice orangey veggie roast...Ruby Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236226397237084651noreply@blogger.com
