Check out my progress on Is It Sunday Yet?
I know this might seem like a strange question to be asking on the first night of the weekend…but is it Sunday yet? I head back to Durham on Sunday afternoon, and I so ready to be back. This winter break has seemed particularly long for several reasons:
a) It was longer—Duke extended its winter recess by a full week this year. It seemed about one week too long.
b) This holiday season was a quiet one for the Yoder household in that we didn’t travel anywhere, nor did we have any special celebration plans.
c) There is a certain something, or shall I say, a certain someone awaiting me in Durham whom I am rather anxious to see.
Here’s to hoping this weekend is an enjoyable, albeit quick one.
After Vegan Thursday yesterday, I discovered that my own unintentional Vegan Friday ensued without any difficulty. Sweet.
Thursday
Choco-berry goodness, granola and all.
Friday
After yesterday’s short reprieve, the bitter cold returned this morning, so I had to settle for some ellipticizing rather than a run. Once I finished, I toasted up a few slices of Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread.
Have I ever mentioned my love of Goddess dressing? After my lunch today, I am thinking that I should have put it on my list of things that make me happy.
I spent much of the day in my new Snuggie, so some comfort food was definitely in order for dinner. Peanut Butter Chili it was! After a tip from a kabocha-savvy reader, I stuck my leftover kabocha fries from last night in the oven for an extra hour. The result? Extra-crispy deliciousness.
Be back soon…have a great weekend!

Happy Weekend, Caroline!! School’s starting up again for me soon again too… but I’m not ready yet! I wish I missed it like you do! Don’t worry… Sunday’s almost here
heya Caroline! i love that you celebrated Vegan Thursday yesterday and even had your own Vegan Friday today as a bonus. i really believe that everyone can make a difference through just one conscious act. thanks for the vegan-support!
i’m so happy to hear you tried my kabocha method! it also helps to cut in half, empty out the seeds, and cook it like that. i also put it in a little water in the bottom of the pan (kabocha cut side up) to keep it hydrated. anywho, my method is kinda silly if i explained it all but we do crazy things for love
.
speaking of that, i’m happy to hear you’re excited to get back to school. it’s nice to have something (or someone) to look forward to!
have a lovely day!
xox
p.s. thanks for the linkage! i feel so honored to be mentioned by such a great blogger.
I’m glad you get to go back soon and all … but I’m definitely not glad it’s Sunday … but it will be soon enough
raisin toast with AB and pumpkin is now on my to-eat list! it’s not a weird question at all, i am SO ready for school to start (but i have to wait till the 19th!!)
I’m ready to start the new semester too! Christmas break was nice, but by the time its over, I’m always ready.
I love those unintentional vegan days!!
Goddess is amazing. I have a tub of tahini and I really want to make a homemade goddess dressing.
peanut butter chili?! yum!!
Peanut butter chili sounds heavenly ! What a freaking dish!! I don’t blame you for wanting to get back
Safe travels
I’m soooo ready for school to start too (nerd? yeahhh)
Why haven’t I thought of re-heating Kabocha in the oven? I love it extra crispy
Have a safe trip!
