Reviews, Recipes, and Random Slices of Life

Woke up at 1:30 pm--and that only because Himself kept telling me gently that I really should get up. I've been sleeping a lot lately. Way too much.

Sex dream about one of the last people I would have predicted, not part of my usual fantasy fodder. It was really good, though, so now I'm in charity with this (never-to-be-disclosed) person for fuelling my sex-crazed subconscious. If real sex, among other entirely delightful functions, acts as a bonding mechanism, does fantasizing or dreaming about sex have some small, similar result?

Heh. That dream must have made me put out alluring pheromones. Or was it the breast-jiggling?

Yup. TMI gotcha!

Today, the Muse and I are probably the Bonnie & Clyde on the Fashion Police's Most Wanted List. Him: dark pink, knee-length jean shorts that are just a bit too tight; black t-shirt with the molecule for caffeine painted on it in white; white and light pink cross-checked dress shirt; blue Minnesota Timberwolves baseball cap; and I'm guessing white socks and running shoes. Me: olive green short-shorts of Lara-Croftian comparisons; loose, slightly too large baby blue tank top with white ribbing; dark blue, gray-blue, and aqua-blue argyle socks; memories of chips of gold chrome nail polish; and hair still in a waist-length Medusean tangle from the shower. However, only he is leaving the house.

I am amused that shoes were such a hot topic of discussion on my lj.

Eek! I do not like being greeted by news of a rare fungal infection that may be linked to the same brand of contact lens solution that I use--Bausch & Lomb--though it is their ReNu MoistureLoc solution, which I do not use. I still do not like it. Yesterday, I heard a girl at Target talking on her cellphone about what brand she should get--definitely *not* ReNu, she said. I had no idea why at the time...or I would have bought some new as well.

So...how well does substituting meat back into vegetarian recipes work? Does substituting a pound of chicken for a pound of tofu change anything? Or is it cheese for tofu? Technique, spicing, whathaveyou?

Also, can the vegetarians among you explain the economics of vegetarian meat-substitutes? Is tofu more expensive than meat? How about that dry soy protein stuff that you rehydrate and then use as if it were hamburger? Also, anybody know what that's actually called or where I can acquire it?
