Wow, I really haven't posted in a while. Well I hope that this will make up for it. This will be a very long post and so don't get tired and lazy and stop reading. First of all, to do list!

Quotes and Jelly and Blogs

Right now I am looking for exotic foods that I can either make at home or do not require any preperation (fresh produce). I found this recepe for rose petal jelly. I had never heard of it before and Iwant to try it out. The color os amazing.I also found lavender jelly, dandelion jelly, rose hip jelly, and this blog with other jellies. I find all of them really nice becouse they can be found literally in my own backyard!

 Rose Jelly

Dandilion Jelly

While browsing the internet I found two lovely food blogs. The first is Poor Girl Gourmet. It tells a lot about spending frugally (is that a word?) on food. The second,Taste Spotting, gives a wide range of food that is visable to you in the form of pictures. I love pictures.

Another thing, I will also start putting quotes on my blog each day. I have relized that it is unrealistic to think that I will post a long thing each day. Now Sometimes it will just be a quote on how I am feeling, other times it will be accompanied by other information.

Well that is all for now, I hope you all have a great Easter!

"Vegetarians"

Sometomes there is just some things that really make me so exasperated that I could just start pulling my hair out. One of those things is the peaple who call themselves "vegetarians". If you eat fish, or chicken, you aren't a vegetarian! It drives me crazy that people should call themselves that when they really aren't. It is still good that they are eating less meat and I want them to do that. Just don't call yourself a vegetarian. Restaurants do this too. They will put somthing in their menu that is called vegetarian or meat-free when really it has fish or some other meat product. If it isn't vegetarian then don't call it that.

Go to Van's health food store and get Rye flour, yogurt starter, and Brewer's Yeast

 Brewer's yeast is a good source of protein and helps rid toxins in the body. It also boosts the body's immune system and is good for healthier skin, nails, and hair.

Yogurt can be very healthy although a lot fo the nutrients cannot be found in the store bought ones. If it is made at hame, it ends up being much healthier for you. Another great thing is that buying a starter  is that it ends up costing a lot less. Plus, yogurt is such a yummy delidhious food. Right now my favorite kind is vanana from Trader Joe's. I have to be careful when buying yogurt becouse a lot of brands have gelatin in them, and being a vegetarian, I can't eat that.
