veggie patties and 7-layer dip

oh geez john and i put together a vegan dinner tonight. or actually, it was more chef john than chef jane. he dumped a can of chickpeas into the pan and then he added bits of rice, red bell pepper, and onions into the pan. so he made veggie patties from scratch after mashing it all together. i helped cut the lettuce, tomatoes, and what not. we put each patty on its own toasted wheat bread with one delicately cut slice of tomato with shredded lettuce.......... oh my goodness gracious goodness.

we put together the seven layer dip with guacamole, shreds of lettuce, tomato bits, beef-less meat, vegan cheese, salsa, and... something else i cannot remember at the moment. this dip with organic tortilla chips is equivalent to the ultimate party in your mouth.

i'm weak when it comes to good food. who isn't? now i'm bloated and i need chamomile tea.  oh i kind of need to work on my history paper for real tonight. i kind of don't want to. i just want to do webcam sessions, play robot unicorn on adultswim.com, read my newly arrived vegan living book, email my mom, and watch the royal tenenbaums.

i'm currently laying on john's comfortable bed. it's really the only time i get a full-sized bed to myself. it only happens when i spend the weekend at the rivera's in costa mesa.

p.s. i think blogspot just changed its format on posting settings. interesting.
p.p.s. i get to save $1.75 on laundry this weekend because i'm doing it at john's house right now! cheers.
