Another Fort Bragg Gladiola :-)

 
Posted by Picasa

4th of July Holiday

Last night I went to the First Friday events in downtown Fort Bragg. There were street belly dancers and a great band playing, too. The art galleries and photo galleries were great to visit. It was nice some of the stores were open too. I went to V'Cantos Italian Restaurant with friends and there were friendly waitresses and the food was good, too, which makes it nice. Smile.

There are many events in Mendocino today. And around Fort Bragg we have plenty of yard sales to visit. The Fort Bragg Advocate News has lots of the events listed in their weekly paper, too.

Since this is such a small town and not too much traffic or people, it is interesting with more traffic on the road and more people around that are visiting from out of town. Fort Bragg has great weather this weekend, too. I love this time of the year! And we may be able to see fireworks too as it doesn't look foggy, Yay!

BBQTofu

 


This tofu was easy to make. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Put some bbq sauce down on it. Place 1/4 inch sliced tofu on top of the bbq sauce, put some bbq sauce on top of the tofu and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Done. It tastes good and is good for you. I used organic bbq sauce, but use your favorite brand to make it taste even better. And keep an eye on it as often temperatures vary. You can clean up easy by just throwing away the burned on bbq sauce foil. Easy. Smile.

This is a real nice neighborhood where these houses are. So quiet and serene to go for walks by or ride a bike by.

No Sugar Vegan Candy Roasted Pecans

 


Okay, so I saw that most of the candied pecans needed egg whites, but since I don't eat eggs or sugar, I found this way to make them.

INGREDIENTS: Some Raw Pecans, Agave Nectar Syrup, Canola Oil, Cinnamon and Salt.

First I took a couple big handfuls of raw pecans. Put them in a bowl and then added a couple teaspoons of oil and a couple teaspoons of Agave Nectar Syrup. I tossed them and added some salt and cinnamon. I greased a cookie sheet a little and then I placed them one by one about an inch away from each other on the cookie sheet. I cooked them for 6 minutes at 375 degrees. Then I turned them over and cooked them for another 4 minutes. They turned out really good. Now you may want to vary the times cooking these and keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly. They cook very fast and the little pieces tend to get burned, so best not to put any broken pieces in there. One other thing, for extra fun in taking care of your sweet tooth, mix a little oil, agave nectar syrup, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and dip one half of the toasted pecans in that. Delicious. Bon Appetite! Warning: Not a "diet" food, but plenty of nutrients are in Pecans to take away any guilt. And only cook a little bit at a time as they are guaranteed not to last! And if you only cook a little, you won’t have to worry about eating lots. Smile.
