Sunday Stuff

On Friday I was going to make pupusas again and cook them on the stove top to compare to baking them. I still plan on doing that I promise, but I was kind of craving pizza, so I decided to see if you can make a pizza crust with masa flour. I'm happy to report that yes you can! I just made the dough the same way as pupusa dough, which is just the flour and water, and I added some cumin and smoked paprika. Then I baked the dough alone for about fifteen minutes, and then topped it with fire roasted tomatoes, green olives, onion, nooch and smoked Gouda daiya cheese.After it was done baking I topped it with avocado chunks. Delicious!

Saturday I went to the library to find a book I've been dying to read. Unfortunately they didn't have the book, but the librarian who helped me was so nice, she searched and found out that you can do a loan where it comes from a different library in a different city or in this case state. So, as soon as it is shipped I will be able to read it! I have always been someone who lives on the lonelier side of life. And I have always felt awkward in a lot of social situations, like I don't fit in. As a kid, and now as an adult. I have even been in situations with vegans and felt like I am the odd woman out. But libraries have always felt like home to me. I feel totally comfortable, and I feel like the people at libraries are my people. My mom loved reading, and loved libraries and although we had a very stormy relationship, we shared a love of reading and libraries. The days we went to the library were always good days, and memories that I cherish. I hope libraries and books never ever go away.

Here's a few from the third floor where the cookbooks are. It's the non-fiction floor. I just love that mountains are everywhere in this city!

Here are my choices. I could have gotten sooooo many more books, but I also needed to go to Trader Joe's so I couldn't go crazy. Afro approves of my choices. I find that as I'm trying to stay woke as the kids say with all that's going on with Dump in office, I've been wanting light funny reads to kind of balance out the shock, anger, fear, and deep sadness I feel. I also have been feeling a little low energy and blue so I hope to learn some stuff from Brendan Brazier.

I thought of Sarah when I saw this at Trader Joe's! And look at that price, so so much cheaper than anywhere else! I heard two employees talking about it and they were saying it's extremely popular and everyone has been looking for it. They were completely sold out of canned jackfruit too! Which is great, hopefully it will encourage them to stay on top of these vegan trends!!

I'll show my grocery haul tomorrow, but spoiler alert I got more of the Korean style BBQ sauce which I truly cannot recommend enough. When I got home I was exhausted and just wanted something simple. So, I made some coconut rice and just baked some tofu with the BBQ sauce. Super simple dinner in like twenty minutes.

Here's my pretty Joan deep in sleep. She gave me an extra cute pose when she saw I was taking a picture. She loves the camera!
I'll be back tomorrow with my grocery haul. A few weird things happened yesterday which I'm still processing. One of which is finding out my neighbors had someone break into their apartment and steal some guns. Apparently they have many. That makes me sick and very nervous, and the fact that there was a break in makes me nervous too. I mean, I have NOTHING to steal, even my laptop is used, but people don't know that before breaking in. And I don't like living next to people with guns. Anyway, today I process and all of that.
Happy Sunday!
