E is for....

Thank you so much to Veggie from the So What Do Vegetarians Eat Anyway blog for giving me a blogging award of excellence! Her blog is quite excellent as well and she's a fellow Ontarian, too! I'll do my best to not post when I'm tired and cranky and hopefully live up the that pretty little Jpeg of awesome. ;) As for passing this along, I'll send it to Vegetalion, Dabbles with Apples, Tofu For Two, The Metal Femme's Vegan Living, and Don't Lose Your Lunch!, even though there are SO many others that deserve it, these are the first 5 that come to mind.

And sweetie Lori of Pleasantly Plump Vegan has tagged me to reveal 5 facts about myself, which I hope I can manage without going off of a bunch of tangents! Ha ha, anyway, here goes:

1. As much as I seem pretty slothful (and I am), I used to teach snowboarding and yeah, I was pretty darn good at it, too.

2. I'm a super geek - comics, anime, sci-fi, fantasy rpgs, video games, you name it, I probably have some history of obsession with it. Especially Final Fantasy and the Chrono series, and wacky shows like FLCL and Haibane Renmai. I also have a black/blue Magic card deck that could probably smoke your artifact-deck to little pieces. :D

3. Both my parents are from B.C., and I think I have a bit of a west coast accent, at least I drawl out my short A's sometimes, especially if I'm feeling lazy.

4. My favourite colour is red.

(Incidentally I'm addicted to hot sauce. I went through half a tube of harissa yesterday, just by squirting it on pickles as a snack! :P)

5. I hate sleep. I'm constantly sleep-deprived because I think staying in bed is SOOOOO boring. Eek, right?

(BONUS FACT, because it's the most important thing about me and I forgot to mention it --- I live and breathe food, it's true, you know that. But to give some sort of perspective, my mind is actually divided 44%/60%/6% - Food, Art, and Not Tripping Over Stuff. For the record. :D)

So that's five (or more) random things about me. And now I'm passing this on to..... , Vegan Soul Power, Adventures in Vegan Cooking, Bitchin' Vegan Kitchen, Epicurvegan, and Half Baked Vegan. Yay for getting to know everyone better!

And just so this post isn't entirely devoid of food, here's the best video on Youtube, ever ----

I'm envious of anyone physically coordinated enough to teach snowboarding! I love reading everyone's 5 weird factoids!

You DO realize that 44+6+60=110>100%?

:P

You so deserve that award!! I love reading your blog :-)

I would love to learn to snowboard someday... I have always been a skier and I guess I just dread spending those first few days on my butt...

Haha I love how you've sectioned off your brain... even if it DOES equal more than 100%. You're better than the average person, so it just makes sense that your brain is working 110% ;o)

And those potstickers look divine! I wish I weren't so lazy in the kitchen, or I'd whip some up right now.

Oh, we are very honored to receive the Excellence award, thanks! And we're also thinking about writing our first non-recipe post ever just to grant excellence awards, we'll see...

We just made pot stickers as well, but we didn't make the wrappers - that's a whole new level of labour intensive! There seems to be a pot sticker frenzy around the vegan blogs at the moment.
