    that was last a weekend update. and this week(end) was/is nutty bizzy. can't wait til it's over. roomie's birfday is this weekend and i am mucho excited to put on some sort of birthday extravaganza, vegan birthday cake? or birthday cupcakes? i have this wondrous recipe for them, gluten-free and all, tasty too. working on a new project, actually a few new projects, one of which you will soon have the ability to purchase... not to be revealed yet though. suspense.

    mmm. made some guac from scratch the other day. i'm in love with fresh cilantro, i use it in everything now. here's the recipe:

      3 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled

1 lime, juiced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 medium onion, diced

2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

1 clove garlic, minced

in a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.

in celebration of the rain, i firmly believe i need these three items...
