TVP for the first time.

Vegan time! Made beans dish from scratch based on the recipe on the back of the TVP package. Instead of 3 Tbsp of chili, adjust to 1.5 for next time for a milder heat. Also, delighted to discover that TVP does not have any salt, and that’s good news when you’re watching sodium intake. Large onion was just right, and maybe an extra clove of garlic for more garlic kick.



Get new spectacles
Whew!

Took a little over 4 months (or 5 years, depending on how you see it… ahem), but when you need new prescription eyeglasses you have to get them.

Tried one other service online, but that didn’t work so well. Am now wearing a pair from Zenni Optical and not only is the frame a great fit, it also looks pretty good on me. The prescription lenses are spot-on, but of course you need to get an eye exam for that. Don’t forget the PD (pupillary distance) when getting an eye exam, you’ll need it if you’re ordering your specs online.

Recipe hunting!

As soon as schedule allows, it’s picking out a recipe, shopping for ingredients and all burners on oven go! Simple key to healthy eating: If you cooked it yourself you know exactly what went in, and you won’t have to be afraid of how much sodium’s in there, &c.
