RAW - Catching Up

So I had my head in the sand for most of the month of March, and completed all of my RAW52 rings during the very last week. 

Good news is, this is a personal challange, so no one is really watching you and thinking "gosh, that chick is so far behind!"

If you would like to find out more about the challange, follow this link http://metalriot.blogspot.com/





Here is a brief catch-up


Latin:  I shall not want


Latin:  Let not your heart be troubled


Latin:  I am always with you


My take on my favorite Arcade Fire song: Sprawl II
(go watch the best performance of it here!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab2DDmwYVQw )


And into infinity, ring


Pink Peruvian Opal Teardrop




Until next time

Of Glorious Moonstones, and a lack of eggs.

Some recent custom work...what a royal beauty.
Polish flint, with grey moonstones.


And due to a lack of eggs in the fridge...


Tofu and Spinach scramble with dill and garlic salt it is!!!

Yum.

I try to include tofu instead of meat a few times a week, and have been trying many new methods of cooking it.  I've scrambled it before, but it didn't turn out as wonderful as this time.

in short:

1/2 block medium hard or hard tofu.  drained, or squeezed fairly dry by hand
large handful fresh spinach
2 tablespoons chopped onion
dried (or fresh!) dill
garlic salt
pepper
fat free cooking spray

crumble tofu into saute pan on medium heat with a bit of of the cooking spray.  try to let it brown lightly before stirring with a spatula.  add onion and saute for a few minutes.  when onion is translucent and the tofu is a light golden brown, add spinach and seasonings, and give a good stir about every 30 seconds until spinach is wilted properly.

serve as is, or with a nice piece of toast!

would be delicious in a tortilla, with some salsa!





ps.
been hard at work on some new designs involving teeth, and bone *gasp*!!!!!
hopefully they will make it to the shop very soon, still putting some finishing touches before they are ready to be let out into the world.
