TVP Chkn Cheese Steaks!!

So I made these tonight and they turned out really well. They weren't drop dead...OMG, I would eat them everyday or anything but it was a nice, occasional junk food type meal. Both kids ate it and liked it. So here is a pic of what the TVP looked like after I rehydrated it.

And here is what it looked like after I cooked it and made it into a sandwich.

I served it with roasted  Teeny Tiny Potatoes from Trader Joe's and home made succotash from frozen Lima Beans and Sweet Corn.

Ok I have this slightly embarrassing story to share. I went grocery shopping after work today and on my way there I HAD to go to the bathroom. Like...I was praying in traffic kind of having to go...lol. So anyway, I get into the store at nearly a sprint and this little old lady gets in front of me and heads to the bathroom. I was contemplating on whether or not to cut in front of her because she was moving slllloooow and I could have passed her and got into the bathroom. BUT I was a nice person and didn't knock down the old lady to get into the toilet. So....

I used the men's room.....hahahahha!! Just had to share. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hooray for TVP!!!

I went to whole foods today and found dried TVP in the bulk section. This is so exciting to me because lately I have been dreaming and drooling at the idea of a buffalo chicken cheesesteak but couldn't figure out what to make the chicken out of. Nothing seemed to be right for making it. But this is PERFECT!!! I am so excited. I will try to remember to post pics and the recipe I end up using when I make it this week. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

~teardrop~

I don't like when people hurt my feelings. Intentionally or unintentionally, it sucks. And for some reason I had this instant attachment to this person who I guess didn't reciprocate the connection. I feel like a weird stalker or something for having wanted this friendship when it obviously wasn't a mutual feeling. How do you get past something so silly? I mean, I'm an adult...I'm not 5. I can't be all mad cause person x doesn't want to play with me!! ~sigh~

Time goes by....

and I don't have much to write about. We currently have a ton of snow on the ground. And I love snow...love it and I love snow days which are so quiet that I forget I live in a city but...ENOUGH already. Sheesh!! I'm afraid to drive or walk anywhere because it's so slippery outside. So while all this snow is going on I have been dreaming of gardening and farm life. It will probably never happen but I so badly miss living a rural existence. ~sigh~
That's all for now...I may have something interesting to say....someday...lol.
