Early Christmas

I just can't seem to keep with one blogger template, everything bugs me. Maybe it's time to get an own blog and own domain and a tailor-made blog :-)

In other news, I can't have enough of this delicious, hearty barley soup:

It's become a regular on my menu and I love it, that I can just pack it to work and eat it hot for lunch in my Aladdin Bento Lunch Box. Mmm, my mouth is watering just looking at the picture. Barley is good for you. It  has plenty of non-animal protein, vitamins B, iron, magnesium, zinc and dietary fiber.

Yesterday I had a tough day, was on the go all day and barely ate, but for 2 bananas and a sandwich that I couldn't even find vegetarian, so I just went for the tuna version. Either that or starvation. When I returned home in the evening I found my man in bed (with a terrible headache who just wanted to be left alone to sleep) and a note from the postman to go pick up an order. So I just turned arouned, got in the car again and drove to the post office (10 minutes before closing time), only to recieve my birthday / christmas present:

My Amazon order! Back in July I recieved a 100$ gift certificate from my friends to spend as I like on Amazon and it took me a long time to finally decide how to spend it! And this is how:

My oh my! I must have the largest vegan cookbook collection in the country :-) I shall take the time to photograph my cookbook collection one of these days. Seriously, I should just open a library. My bf is amazed, and not in the good sense. He thinks I'm a bit crazy. Maybe he is right :-)

In this package:

• Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson
• Going Raw by Judita Wignall
• Plate to Pixel by Helene Dujardin
• Big Vegan by Robin Asbell
• Vegan Pie in the Sky by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

I think I'll be cooking and baking this weekend :-)

Day 276.
