I know, right? Guess we have to make some more tamales. The decision being what kind! I am not so good about making things and freezing them. Even soups don’t sound or look all that appetizing to me after they have been in the freezer. The exception being my mom’s chili (meat-filled). I need to get better about that. Although we tend to eat up all our leftovers and don’t get bored with those, so we don’t usually have much to freeze. Luckily over the past 13 years, I have taught my husband to be okay with leftovers. I won’t say ‘like leftovers’ because I know he would rather have something else, unless it’s pizza of course!

So it was you – I wondered who gave me a credit on PBS! Thanks so much! I hope you’ll enjoy. I will have to go check out your ‘bookshelf’! Make sure you wishlist whatever you want and then when it comes up, they will offer it to you. I have a whole ton of wish list items…I am a book whore, as my husband calls me, both novels and cookbooks!

And yes, I am enjoying Veg Planet. I’ll let you know if I like the Pasta with Lentils. The ginger sounds like an interesting combo….? But everything I’ve made s far sounds great, so I’ll give it a whirl once!

Happy Valentine’s Day to you too! And your S.O. (Duck?)?

Wendy – Nice one. Although I did stop by Walgreen’s on my way home and bought some chocolate and left it on his chair. I plan on eating half too, no worries! And he asked me if indeed it was all ‘his’ or if he had to share…he knows me well after almost 13 years!

So sad about the tamales ending! It seems like it has been so nice to have them on hand in the freezer. Talk about food as love – whenever I make something ahead and freeze it, it feels like such a lovely gift from me to future me!

Pasta with red lentils and ginger sounds super intriguing. I love red lentils! I should check out Vegetarian Planet. It seems like you make a lot of great stuff from it.

Did I tell you I joined Paperback Book Swap? I can’t remember if I told you when I signed up. I finally posted my first books today! Very exciting. All I want right now are cookbooks, though, and there aren’t any vegan ones there right now. I’m sure I’ll find exciting treasures in the future, though.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your husband!

So does it count if you bought the man the chocolate and then proceeded to eat half of it? I think I may have started a new tradition. You reminded me that I was going to get out my long-neglected pressure cooker. Maybe next week’s menu…
