Haircut and Colour


You have to spell colour with a 'u' when you wanna be swanky.
Lisa's going to help me with the colour part but I'm thinking the cut I'll get done somewhere ;p

What do you guys think about this one... ??

Geek, I am.

I scored a 26 out of 30 on a Marvel Comic book character quiz and 100% on a Super Hero Logo quiz. I'll admit it. I'm a geek. I hide it well though!

Speaking of geeks... Tiste and I have been hosting a RPG Night for a game called... Mutants and Masterminds! (muuhahahah)



Lisa, Corax, Drew and I make up a motley crew of superheros while Tiste throws down the gauntlet week after week with an unending deluge of super villains. We usually play for 3 hours on Wednesday nights and it's way funnier than watching TV.

"William" the Tank (Drew - the bald guy) and "Bloodhound" (Corax) are pictured here.















And, on of my favorite ladies, Lisa as "Puff"! Yes, she turns into a dragon!
















Here's Tiste and Drew after the big bad did some bad ass damage!




Tiste looks more than a little pleased with himself and Drew... well, let's face it - "William" almost died last night! ;p

Tamari-Roasted Chickpeas

This was totally ganked from another blog.

Tamari-Roasted Chickpeas

MAKES 4–6 SERVINGS (ABOUT 1¾ CUPS) WHEAT-FREE

1 can (14-oz/398-ml) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil (see note)
2 – 2 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 – 2 1/2 tsp tamari
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp fresh thyme
or oregano) (optional, can omit if making for children)
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 - 1/4 tsp agave nectar

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On the baking sheet, add all ingredients and toss to combine. (If using coconut oil, warm it first to melt it, or stir it through after first few minutes of baking.) Bake for about 25 minutes, tossing chickpeas once or twice during baking, until tamari and lemon juice are absorbed. Serve warm for appetizers or at room temperature for snacks.

Notes:

1) To lower fat content in this recipe, use 1–2 tsp oil.

2) These chickpeas make a sensational topper for salads, pasta dishes, soups, and stir-fries. Also, leftovers can be lightly mashed with condiments for a sandwich spread, or whizzed in a mini-food processor with a touch of oil, lemon juice, and tahini for a chunkier hummus!

The Professional


Amanda was looking all professional yesterday so I just HAD to take a picture. I should have changed the brightness setting but... well, here she is in her hawtness anyway! :)

Me, again


This is a picture of me sometime last year; I had to get it off of the old phone along with some others.
