Free give aways for voting…
Mostly typical “american meals” but free coffee from starbucks aint too bad. I voted by absentee ballot, not sure how that works with all these free things…

Apple Kuzu
Monday, November 3rd, 2008
It’s been a rocky road between me and kuzu. I very much love the consistency it provides and its healing qualities but I’ve been convinced that it hates me…
Every attempt I at making it at home has failed for me… until last week! I present to you my successful warm apple cinnamon kuzu dessert.
Ingredients:
1 apple
2 cups liquid (water or juice or a mix of both)
Cinnamon to taste (about a teaspoon)
2 teaspoons Kuzu
Add some raisins or cranberries if you’d like.
Slice the apple into half moons or chunks and simmer in the liquid for at least 20 mins adding the cinnamon and dried fruit in about halfway through. Turn off the heat. Make a slurry of cold water and your kuzu (make sure the kuzu is dissolved in your water). Then add the slurry to the warm (NOT BOILING) liquid being sure to stir constantly to avoid clumps. The liquid will turn cloudy but then clear up in about 3-5 mins and thicken.
Now enjoy while still warm and feel the comfort. YUM- this is my new comfort dessert.

A day late but the pictures are still pretty amazing. My costume was:
KILLER TOFU! haha Very few people got the Doug reference but the ones who did, loved it. Scary right??
To start off this Halloween I wanted a treat. I bought some amaranth a few weeks ago and it’s been lurking in my cupboard since then. Halloween morning was the time to get some use out of it. I boiled the amaranth (1/2 a cup) in water (about a cup) for about 20 mins and once most of the liquid had be soaked up I added a touch of agave and a spoonful of organic pumpkin pie mix.
DELISH
Before the picture the dish looked too much like a big brown bowl of mush so some dried cranberries were needed.
This is a great fall breakfast. Give it a try some time!

Happy day after Halloween with kuzu drinks
Saturday, November 1st, 2008
I hope everyone had a great Halloween last night… For those of you who had a little TOO much fun (if you know what I mean) try a warm kuzu drink this morning:
Also, I TWITTER now. You can follow me and see what I’m doing daily. I have developed a mild addiction to it already. Hope I can find some of you on there too!
Have a nice morning, I’ll be back later with pictures of my fantastic Halloween costume that I think everyone will appreciate.
