We were out of meat, so I made a vegan garden stromboli. When I pulled the stromboli from the oven, our dinner had a funny spotted dalmatian pattern on it, thus I named it damatian stromboli. The dough may have had a tiny bit too much flour in it, but I know why. I was in a hurry to make dinner so I did not use any hard copy recipes, online recipes, or measuring spoons and cups. I just used my own personal memory and best guesses. For the dough I dumped olive oil, yeast, warm water (mixed these three before adding the rest) all-purpose flour, and salt into my bread machine canister. Then I dumped a little bit from what I thought was a bag of sugar into the container. It was not sugar. It was a bag of self-rising flour. What did I do? I just opened a bag of sugar, and dumped some of it in too! I didn't bother letting the dough rise because of time. For my beautiful scrumptious vegetable filling I chopped: zucchini, garlic, mini sweet peppers, roma tomatoes, and fresh parsley. I was surprised at how bright and delicious my stromboli turned out to be!

Spring Break Fancy Dinner Date
Anthony and I had a great time preparing for and having a great date over spring break! Supper was unbelievably good. My favorite dish was the baked salmon. It was so thick and soft. I tried a new recipe for the salmon and the sweet potato casserole. Unfortunately, the sweet potato casserole had a disgusting stick-and-a-half of butter in it. It tasted like pecan pie or shortbread. That dish was certainly our dessert as I did not make dessert technically. We had an awesome night. It reminded me of our fancy Valentine's date when we were dating.
Spring Break Fancy Dinner Date Menu:
Grape Juice
All Recipe's Baked Salmon II
Pinch of Yum's Super Easy Sweet Potato Casserole With Pecan Crumble
Sticky Rice
Fresh Whole Green Beans in Olive Oil and Lemon Juice
Rachel Singapogu's Chai Tea
Thrift Store Finds!
Anthony, Shastya, and I went to a local thrift store to get a couple blankets to hang on our bedroom walls to cut the reverberating sounds in our apartment. While we were at the thrift shop, I found a plethora of functionable fashions for baby Shastya and myself! Would you believe it? The total for all the "extras" was $3. That's all! I found two shirts for me, three shirts for Shastya, and a small purse for me. We did find a couple blankets. When we got home, Anthony hung them. They added just a touch of dimension and ambiance to our room. The look is almost reminiscent of bohemian or . . .
