Traumatic Bus Experience, and Dillicious Potatoes

I made this smoothie yesterday with strawberries, bananas, hemp hearts and a few blackberries. I thought it was funny how much the blackberries colored the smoothie. There are less than five blackberries and loads of strawberries! They should look into using blackberries for dyeing purposes.

I've been taking public transportation for well over ten years now, and for the most part I'm perfectly happy with my choice. But yesterday I had one of the most disgusting, traumatic experiences I've ever had on a bus, and that's saying a lot because public and bus. So, there was a girl sitting in the front seat who had an open sore on her face. She was scratching this thing incessantly. I mean, it was hard not to stare. So, someone with a wheelchair was boarding the bus and she had to move to a different seat. Even though there were tons of empty seats, she of course sat next to me. Okay, so I'm trying super hard to be okay with the face scratching, and trying to figure out how to get away. At this point I'm wondering if I should just walk. So, her traveling companion turns around and tells her to stop digging at her face. She then decides to say OUT LOUD that she knows she should stop, but that she's been itching ever since they left the shelter. I immediately started feeling like I itched everywhere, and got off at the next stop and just walked. I felt seriously ill. Luckily for me as soon as I got off the bus I stopped itching, so it was obviously in my head but come on!! Sit in an empty seat!
So, needless to say when I got home I couldn't scrub enough, and I wanted a nice, comforting meal. Sometimes I wonder if being kind to Mother Earth is worth it. I'm kind of kidding. Anyway, I made a nice green salad with Greek Vinaigrette, oven baked tofu and Lemon-y dill potatoes. I used lots of dried dill, and my apartment smelled AMAZING!!! It was a nice way to soothe my frazzled nerves.
Thanks for listening to my gross bus story. You know how sometimes things happen and you can't wait to come home and tell someone? Well, I had no one to tell. I mean, my cats cared, but you know.

I had some of this deliciousness for dessert. I think this is my favorite flavor so far. If you can find Nada Moo near you, I really think you should try it. It is definitely my favorite vegan ice cream. And the salted caramel is absolutely dreamy!

These little girls always make things better too. Joan was sleeping in the coveted spot in my bedroom closet, and Kanye made herself at home right next to her. Notice the look of exasperation on Joan's face!
