Life's a Beach

In Humboldt County, if you wait for good weather to go to the beach, you could be waiting a while... so today, off we went, despite the cloudy skies and somewhat chilly temperature.

Carlos' adorable hat is from another Etsy seller, pdxbeanies. It's a little bit too big for him still but still so cute.

In vegan cooking news, today I made Better than Cinnabons. Holy crap. HO-LY CRAAAP. You might hate me for giving you that link. Prepare to become addicted to the vegan cinnamon bun deliciousness. Matt's commentary: "I think the reason I like these so much is because they taste normal," {Matt-speak for 'they don't taste vegan'}.

Also today, a package arrived from Vegan Essentials. Among other things, it included this mac-n-cheese in a box that is actually quite tasty (not as good as homemade but still edible, unlike many I've tried). We had the one in the green box for dinner tonight, topped with Parma; steer clear of the blue box, trust me. After the frenzy of cinnamon-bun baking this morning, I needed an easy dinner.

And in case anyone needs some advice for a good night's sleep, forget Ambien, all you need is a soccer ball to snuggle with. Or so Carlos says. Sweet dreams, and see you in the morning.
