You know those people…
…the people that hurt themselves because they do little more than get up from the couch to re-fill the chip bowl during the Sunday football game as their regular form of physical activity… then proceed to tear, pull, or otherwise break something because they get a whim to go a out and, “shoot some hoops,” but end up getting involved in a 2-day round robin pick-up tournament that has them hitting the asphalt for 2 stints of 5 hours straight…
..yeah…
Upon, our last hiking adventure Mr. Guava & I sheepishly realized.. err… “That’s US!” Somehow, we always end up doing this… seriously, we’ve been barricaded inside our house/coffeeshop/library with flus, and work, and studying, for the last couple months and then decided that’s it… we’re making time to get out for some physical activity!!! Something easy and relaxing…
Ooh and ahh… at the wonders of nature [see pretty spiderweb above for visual]… maybe a little something to get the heart rate pumping… something that will stretch Dublin’s legs a little…
A couple little brooks to cross couldn’t hurt [see Mountain Dog picture for visual.. imagine Guava shouting triumphantly, "Mountain DOG!!!" everytime there's water to cross...]
Okay, in our defense we picked an easy little 3 mile hike… we figured we’d go do the hike then grab some breakfast and hit the books… high off adrenaline instead of caffeine…
Unfortunately, there was this where do park? Where does the trail start? Will the Kia make it over this gravel? The trail can’t be too much further from here? Issue… that ended with us doing like an 8-9 mile hike (we lost track as we began to get dizzy and weak)… which ended with this long walk down a dirt road in the sun (now midday) with Scooter having to ride in our camel pack and us not sure if we were going have to send up some flairs for help…
Needless to say we were pretty much recovering the rest of the weekend… still an adventure… and much needed physical activity… although probably much safer in smaller doses…and much more fun if Bear Grylls was narrating for us in that ruggedly sexy British accent… except of course without all the scary not very vegan animal eating…
Seriously… if your name’s not Bear why even walk out your front door?
Happy Surviving,
Guava & Bear
We didn’t put the tomatoes in our sushi but ate them on the side dipped in Srirach Mayo and Soy Sauce (Odd Family Disclosure: My mom used to use Soy Sauce and Mayo in lieu of salad dressing… it’s pretty good…), but aren’t they pretty??? Heirlooms from our garden!
So Long Summer! I will miss the Picnics and the Fuzzy Navels!
**OUCH!!** Hey stop… **Oomph**… Listen a second **DUCKS**… did you seriously just throw a can of nutritional yeast at me because… honestly… that’s pretty violent for a vegan!!!
Awww… wish Beck’s was around to enjoy it… **nudge nudge** out there 
As we head into Fall… that mysterious dusk of the seasons…. where brisk morning air can freeze our frontal lobes and the afternoon sun can beg us to return late from lunch for just a few more minutes of rejuvenating Vitamin D… what is it that can both warm and cool the soul at the same time???
Okay guys… I have a confession to make…
Yup… my favorite Dino Sandwich box with nary even a simple PB & J but rather filled with…
I make this confession on two counts… (A) Golden Oreos are FANTASTIC… and like their chocolatey counterparts completely processed with lots of bad stuff but also VEGAN…. and (B) Because I was talking to the ever lovely 
Good Morning Friends!! How does everyone feel? Stuffed full of Vegan Goodness??? Man… gotta love Vegan MoFo huh… I haven’t surfed around nearly enough and… damn… not having time to make a 3-course meal every night is totally bumming me out! So much good food! So many awesome blogs! So little time! **Head Explodes**
Has anyone had Japanese curry? It’s so different… kind of stewy… my parents are always really confused when I say I’m making curry then bring home something mustard colored. Since I was making a whole mess of steamed buns I thought I’d take it easy on myself and get a curry mix for the filling… mm… brown gravyish… msg goodness friends…
Fill with cling peaches drained, chopped, and mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and granola…
Bake at 350 until puffy and delicious… serve on it’s own or with…
