Ecto Fabulous

Ahhhhhh the return of ECTO!!!!! I’m sure Ecto is nothing like Windows Live Writer, but it’s the best possible thing for blogging on a Mac and makes my life a heck of a ton easier. Ecto stopped working for me right when I moved to California but tonight Meghann helped me fix it! Meghann, what would I do without you?!

Anyways, tofu party got cancelled because all the guys are headed down to LA tomorrow for work and they had a lot of stuff to take care of before they went. Boo! At one point, there was a chance I was going to tag along in LA as well but alas, I am stuck here in Healdsburg for the week all by my lonesome. I managed to get some good content written today though. Fueled by a snackie:

I was sent these new Quorn “turkey” burgers to sample for the blog awhile ago and then I sort of forgot about them because my freezer is rather a black hole. However, I dusted them off tonight and set one in the oven to reheat. I topped my burger with some raw goat cheddar and this magical elixir that Alissa and Christie brought me as a symbol of my homeland last week:

Rocky, this might be the best hot sauce yet. Nothin’ like a good splash of bone suckin’ sauce!!!!

I also seriously heart these sweet potato fries. My mom always bought this brand and they are soooo good!

Thoughts on the Quorn burger? Meh. The texture was way off and therefore sort of ruined it. The taste was pretty good but I prefer Morningstar farms or Amy’s for my “burgers”, methinks.

Dessert was ice cream, HEAB-style

Into the Vita Mix went a scoop of protein powder, a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 tsp xanthan gum, a pinch of sea salt and cinnamon and a drizzle of agave. With a handful of ice. It blended up SUPER fluffy! The only sad thing was that after I ate it, I dropped the glass on the ground and it shattered!!!! I loved this glass
