Big Decisions for the List

by

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, hope you’re having some relaxing fun today. We hosted a small family gathering and vegan taco party for it. I almost cancelled the plans after a tough week at work, I had a very nasty reality check this week on how bad job stress is impacting me that is prompting a lot of thinking and planning. A not so interesting saga, I know, but my excuse for lacking in photos and interesting eats. Having a cute buddy at home always ready to be there during challenging times helps. Now that he has a ramp up to our bed, he has decided our pillows are much more comfortable than his beds, especially when clean and warm from the dryer.

Lots of the usual sautés, salads, and protein pasta with Trader Joe’s vegan parmesan.

More tofu stir fries, Thai takeout, and simple soup to combat dental pain.

I did try Trader Joe’s Tofu Scramble this weekend and it looks mostly like the picture as well as being simple to microwave – that’s a plus. Hearty with nice kick and texture.

Back at it tomorrow to make the best of this week and I hope you can too starting with the list.

  1. So sorry to hear about job stress. After 22 years in radio I had to make a move because of the stress, too. It was taking a toll on my mental and physical health that is for sure. I gave myself Scalp Psoriasis because of it and everything. Thinking of you – for sure! And Dental Pain, too? So very sorry! As for the TJ’s Soy Chorizo – I had that once and enjoyed it. Wish I lived closer to a Trader Joe’s.

    Thanks for the comments on my previous posts. I replied. I was posting 2 other blog posts while you were commenting, too.

    Hope your week is better this week!

  2. Sorry to hear that you had a rough long week at your job. Hopefully this week will be better for you.
    It’s wonderful to read that Miko is doing well health wise and that he is such a good comfort buddy…..dogs are wonderful listeners, cuddle buddies, and givers of unconditional love.
    I don’t know if you have heard of (or tried) the vegan chicken sandwiches (and fries) from the LA based Vuture Foods. It seems that they have been traveling around the country during the Covid pandemic and visiting different places to serve their food.
    I was able to try their food when they made a stop in FL within a close driving distance from where I live. I enjoyed the sandwiches that I tried, as a comfort food guilty pleasure that I would not usually eat.
    Anyway, they will be in Sacramento this Thursday, 2/17
    at Conscious Creamery from 4pm to 8pm
    if you and your husband would like to eat a guilty pleasure.

    Enjoy whatever you can and have a better week!

  4. Yeah, work stress is the worst! But glad you had a fun Super Bowl party. I confess, I didn’t even watch any of it! In fact, I just found out who won yesterday. I know….Cut dog as always!
