This week has just been flying by. My son starts back to preschool next week, after a 6 month break. He gets way to bored at home and craves the interaction with other kids. He will be going three times a week and that means that I should have a little my time during the day and my time for him when he gets home. I bought him one of those great stainless steel wide mouth thermos’.

It is great. This one goes for $15.75, which was cheaper than what I paid for it at Walmart. It will make sending him to school with healthy food so much easier. I can warm something up in the morning and then send him to school with it and it will stay warm until lunch. The opening is wide enough for little hands when you send finger foods or for spooning out soups. I can’t wait to use this for him. I definitely plan on trying some of the recipes from Vegan Lunchbox.

I haven’t been cooking a lot lately because we have relatives in town. They are staying at my parents so we have been eating there a lot. It was great, on Sunday we ordered pizza, one of my favorites. I love Round Table Pizza with no cheese. There Gourmet Veggie (with red sauce) is the best. Monday they made ribs, but my uncle made some vegetarian beans for me. I thought that was very thoughtful. He said when he goes out on the wagon trains (which he likes to do) that they often prepare vegetarian foods because a lot of the people that go are vegetarian. So that is way cool. Tuesday they had salmon so I made the lentil soup that I told you about. Last night I had good old fashion boca burgers, while everyone else ate nasty hamburgers. I can tell I have been vegan for a while because we were in a restaurant the other day and I could smell the beef and it was actually making me nauseous. I almost couln’t eat it was so nasty.
