tissues and honey

I'm unfortunate to say I have a cold. Gone through a lot of tissues, a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit juice, and probably double my daily sugar allowance from honey. But it's good for you isn't it.? Yes.
Bought a pomegranite today and wasn't I happy! I've not had one in a long time. It was delightful I took some nice photos. Here is one -
just a little seedling. There's two nice ones on my flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/somecariflower
I've spent my day, besides strolling to the local grocery and health stores in Headingley, working on my website design. I started the first half of my day faithless, but now I'm a bit more positive. I like how it looks at the moment so that is alright.
I bought some almonds today and boiled them in honey - which, by the way, cancels out the benefits one normally would get from honey. So no point doing that again. The honey stuck to my crepe plate once it cooled too.
I made a nice casserole for my lunch and my dinner, the photograph that I took doesn't do the casserole great justice so is there any point adding it?
there was brown rice, lentils,carrot, cabbage, vegetable stock, pepper, onion, garlic, sweet potato and gravy granukes in this.
When I returned from my stroll to get groceries, I took my savoy cabbage out of the carrier bag and hen there were litle tiny white dots flying around. Honestly very tiny and, sad to say, they are made of dust or something. 'Sad to say' because i squished one... Look at this guy-
he looks alive here doesn't he. poor thing.
I bought some new ground coffee the other day from sainsburys. It is delightfil, it is half caff.
I've posted my cd away to Manchester music for a review or something.
I was to be playing in Leeds on saturday on Briggate for the Leeds University Union society 'RAG' but I am not very well therefore it will not be very good for me so I am not now.
Aparently, they are bringing out a limited edition of marmite mext week - extra strong. (Unilever, not Leeds University Union Society 'RAG'.)
If only Unilever didn't test on animals I might be inclined to purchase it.
Watched Tim Burton and Johnny Depp on Jonathan Ross. That was good wasn't it, I like them two. I watched that cheesy movie 'couples retreat' the other night. I had not much else to do and am always open to watching a movie. It was nearly as bad as the trailers look. But fairly funny at parts- I like Vince Vaughn.
I made a poster for the gig at Hyde Park Social Club on March 10th, I have a little stamp that has my name and myspace address on so I made a row of 8 stamp sized bits of paper for people to rip off so they can listen to my music to see if they want to come. And well I was on my way to class after lunch when I noticed 4 had gone. By the end of they day all of them had. So that's good isn't it.

charity.

Not wrote in a while have i. Well I must have not been doing much. been making soup and fried rices and nearly burning the kitchen on fire (always put too much water in the pan when you make rice)
At the moment i am making gift tags and gift books and cds for a charity night on march 10th where i will be playing too - that's what the cds are = me.
took a few pictures of my makings which you will be able to see. other photos are the tasty fried rice i made the other day, can't remember much of what i used - rice, mixed vegetables, turmeric, garlic, tomato puree. dave got a 18 inch pizza the other day. paul made one. also making new cd covers for the gig - to fit with the recycled brown paper/cardboard theme.

practical

Practical pranks are hilarious.last night, me and my house mates (note-all but one) were bored. upon thinking what to do to entertain ourselves we came to discussing practical jokes and what we could do to liams room for when he gets back the next day. we threw a few ideas outt here but noone made a move to get started so i suggested we go in his room to see what we come up with instantly, and i said 'lets turn his posters upside down' so we started turning his posters upside down, this led to turning things on his shelves upside down-pen pot, money box, hairspray, card. this led to turning his clothes in his wardrobe inside out. we liked this one and so thought what could we do to the clothes in his drawer, so we switched his drawers around, thinking he would be quite neat about what goes in which drawer. this wasn't enough that we turned the chester drawers upside down. so when he does open a drawer, everything falls out. we should have left it there to be a bit subtle. but we didn't. we took the fuses out of his plugs, and some knobs and screws here and there from his guitar amp. we filled his pillow cases and bed sheet with plastic bags so it rustles with the slightest touch (very funny) and last but not least, we took his door off its hinges. we replaced it with a layer of cling film and a layer of bin bags. he is back at five today. i won't be in. here are some pictures of the process.

folded pizza

we didn't go to the lebanese restaurant due to the price. i will let you find out how much it is yourself. no i will report- around fifteen rof anything 'decent' said a carnivore. about £12 for the vegetarian field. there's no point paying that much is there, so we decided to head down to the shop to get some bits and make calzones for dinner.
mine was awesome. it had peppers, onions, peas, mushroom, gherkin and lots of tomato puree inside. this is what they looked like - the other one we made had mushroom, cheese, pepperoni and tomato puree in it.

ok. emily.

ok, i've just made some scrumptious brownies! i will tell you how i made them and post a picture later.
i only had a little self raising flour so i used plain flour and a big teaspoon of baking powder. together there was about a cup full. so 1 cup of flour 3 or 4 tablespoons of sugar, same of cocoa powder
half a cup of oil and a splash of water. a big tablespoon of margarine. you want it to be all mixed nicely and not sticky. add vanilla essence and orange essence for chocolate orange ones.
when the dough is nice cut into squares on greaseproof paper and a tray
cook for about fifteen minutes
meanwhile make the icing! icing sugar about 1/3 cup, lukewarm water - add a tablespoon at a time until its the right consistency and then add orange essence.
these are the ingredients anyway, they are really easy to make just mix all the dry ingredients together then start adding the wet. you don't need to use water you can just use oil, just depends if you have enough!
pictures a bit shoddy but i didn't have my lovely camera

lebanon.

got a bit of another soup recipe that i did yesterday.one will have to wait for a picture as i've left my wire elsewhere to connect the picture taking device and laptop together. but the recipe is as follows-
3 carrots
one sweet potato
a cup of sweetcorn
1 vegetable stock
teaspoon of coriander
2 garlic cloves
1 tin of plum tomatoes
about 3/4 of a cup pearl barley.
black pepper to your taste and herbs too.
boil the carrots and sweet potatoes
the pearl barley needs to be boiled starting with cold water so if you use cold water to do the carrots and potato this will be good.
when things are getting soft add sweetcorn and then garlic. then add the tomatoes, stock cube and other herbs/spices.
then the noisy part-blend it all together. voila!
this one was better than the lentil one in my opinion, it was more vegetabley and bit more flavoursome.
will upload a picture of it soon.

as it's valentines day of course that is an excuse to go somewhere tasty for dinner right? so we're going to a lebanese restaurant in the city centre. a review has advised me to not judge it on outside appearances but upon looking on a picture of it i cannot help it. but i am not really judging it, i am just understanding that it doesn't look fancy however i bet the price is.
aparently a good vegan menu so i imagine a plate of sprouts or something. i will report back with that one
