Day 5

Saturday brings out the laziness, which is a wonderful change of pace.  This is the first weekend in a while that I haven't had much to do, so sleeping in was in order.  and then no shake for me, this morning was fancy pants breakfast.  So when I finally managed to get out of bed and get going, I got to making Orange French Toast and potatoes.  Basically you mix orange juice, soy milk (I used almond milk since I prefer it to soy) and cinnamon.  Dip your bread (I used sour dough cause its delicious) and fry until brown and toasty.  sprinkle with icing sugar, and serve with maple syrup.  potatoes I just cut up and fried with garlic and poultry seasoning (which is a combo of sage thyme rosemary marjoram).  and Voila breakfast!

Conclusion delicious and way feeling, I could only finish one and a half pieces.  Surprising fact, soaked breads take a very long to fry and the middles were still a little soggy could have used a little longer in the pan.

Now this is a fairly high calorie count for breakfast, so I didn't find myself hungry again until dinner. so we skip lunch.  Do a bunch of laundry, dishes, make veggie soup with the chopped up vegetables that we getting a little soft, make a batch of banana 'ice cream' and take Ozzie for a walk. 

Now last night tofu has been marinating in the fridge over night, in a mixture of soy sauce, BBQ sauce (mine honey garlic and Len's hot), vinegar, garlic, and Len's with a little hot spices.  So we take the tofu and bake it at 425 for 18 minutes, flip and bake 6 more minutes.  made ciabatta garlic bread, add tofu and top some home made coleslaw (made with vegenaise).  Sides, more potatoes from this morning, corn, cucumbers, and some baked beans,   and Voila dinner!

Conclusion: really good.  the honey garlic really adsorbed in the tofu and the coleslaw was a crunchy taste combo.  Len liked his too.  So far all recipes have been deemed a success.

Skipped dessert tonight.
