Update: Mockup and Tacos

So I'm a failure. I'm just so bad at updating things when I have to write. I only am doing this now because I caught myself thinking: 'Oh, I'll update in the morning.' I know that's a lie. I'll either put it off or forget about it. So I'm updating now.


Food related: So I made these really good quinoa tacos a few weeks back because I needed to use up some veggie broth. Let's see, the recipe that I made up was:

Quinoa:
Quinoa- 1/4 cup dry
Vegetable Broth- 2 cups
Diced Tomatoes In Juice With Garlic and Olive Oil- 1/2 cup 
Taco seasoning- 1tsp
Cooked together for what, ten minutes? However long it says to cook it in a saucepan.

Corn:
Sweet Corn (Frozen)- 2/3 cup
Chopped Onions (Frozen)- 1/3 cup
Frozen Chopped Spinach- 1/3 cup 
Olive Oil- 1 tsp
I sautéed that all together in a pan.


Additions:
Refried Beans- one can, (1 4/5 cups ea.)
Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 1 oz
Corn Tortillas, 12 tortillas
Salsa- 12 tbsp
Lettuce

And I pretty much put them together however needed. Two tacos counted as a meal. I had probably half of the quinoa mixture left over at the end and I made taco salad with it and lettuce, cheese and crushed chips. That was really good too.

I think I have to give up dairy. I'm not going to buy anymore once I finish off what I have. I'm also doing an allergy test on Thursday and I fear what that will reveal. I think I need to give up peanuts. But I shall continue.

Craft related: I make a simple bulletin board cover with for strips of fabric. I wanted to divide a board so that I can make four different lists: Things I Need, Shopping, To-Do, and Other. My major project has been working on a mock up doll of the colonial outfit I want to make. I so far have two layers: the shift

And the stays. Her stays took forever because I also quilted them like that had boning in them. I didn't actually add boning because the fabric was so stiff and I didn't have anything to use. I really need some sort of thin plastic like what is used for whiskers on cat plushies. I will need something for her hoops because those will need reinforcement to get the shape right. I'll start her pockets tomorrow.

Mostly I have been enjoying having free time. My last midterm was yesterday so last week was chaotic and stressful. Now I can do other things and relax. By sewing a complex outfit for ten inch doll. I'm weird. It's just to hard to imagine this many layers in real life (or how much time it will take me to make them). A doll is easier.

I'll try to update again later. Currently I am eating Cheese Sauce on broccoli and penne, and tomorrow I shall try it as nachos with beans, salsa and lettuce. I also made S’mores Rice Krispie Treats for dessert, which is not the healthiest choice. I was eating healthy last week and now I'm off track. Well, I have an apple turnover recipe to try and then I think I'm going to try bean desserts. My protein consumption is way below level. That will be the next thing I try to fix.
