meanwhile...

Back at the ranch i've been working on having fun.  That just doesn't sound right but it's true.  We've been hiking quite a bit and enjoying the most unbelievably beautiful weather.  Here we are at Whitewater Canyon Preserve.  It's on your way to Palm Springs if you're ever in the area.  It's part of the Pacific Crest Trail, something larry dreams of hiking one day.  Check out the mileage from here.  I could go visit Leslie and Terri up in Canada.  When Larry says he is taking me to Mexico, I think this is his plan.

Look at this delicious Asian Tofu Salad I had with my friend Connie at Caprice Cafe in Redlands.

She took the pic with her iphone but look at the tofu!  Doesn't it look delicious?

omg, it was so good.

This is a Pumpkin and Toasted Walnut Pasta dish I created.

In a saute pan combine...

1/2 c pumpkin

1/4 c soymilk

1/2 cup vegetable broth

1 t chopped fresh sage

1/4 - 1/2 t red pepper flakes

season with salt and pepper

top with 1/2 c toasted walnuts

heat through and reduce until desired thickness and toss with pasta.

Delicious.  Larry says I always say to add too many red pepper flakes.

I say really?  

So do as you see fit.

I'm also smack dab in the middle of a 2 week whole body cleanse.

I try to do this once a year.  Have you ever done one?

I buy my cleanse tablets at the health food store and pick one loaded with lots of valuable herbs and roots to help detoxify all 7 of the body's elimination systems.

Oh the Fun.

On Sunday I will be going to see these two (wanda jackson and jack white) in Hollywood.

Now this will be fun.
