Thought the First, Sec. A:

I made these things, and I love them:

Papaya Sparkle:

Fresh papaya
Lemon sorbet
Mineral water (just a splash)

Blend it up and drink from a margarita glass...rum optional.


Fake-Chicken Salad (Courtesy
This Cookbook):

1 Tbl. Olive oil
2 tsp. Minced garlic
1 lb Chicken-style seitan
1 C mayo (or vegan substitute if you'd like)
3/4 C diced celery
1/2 C diced red onion
1/2 C diced artichoke hearts
1/4 C chopped Kalamata olives
1 Tbl stone-ground mustard
2 tsp white cooking wine
1 1/2 tsp minced dill
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Black pepper to taste

Saute seitan, garlic, and oil for 5 minutes, then combine all ingredients and mix well.


Thought the First, Sec. B:

I swear to god, you have never had anything so good in all your life. No, seriously.


Thought the Second

For a month this summer, I get to live rent-free, job-free, and responsibility-free (well, mostly). And even better, it's back out west. I cannot even tell you how excited I am.


Thought the Third

Does anyone else dig The Dog Whisperer as much as me? I'm obsessed. I got the book, and I'm going to get the video. I think I'm in love with Cesar Millan.


Thought the Fourth

I don't like living on a first-floor condo because people always walk by the window and look at me funny. I'm almost positive they're just trying to see in clearly...but still, it's a tad uncomfortable, don't you think?


Thought the Fifth

Baseball season makes me a happy girl indeed.


So, now then:

* What is your favorite thing about springtime?
