So I'm making my first official MDWDP endorsement: Barney Butter almond butter. I heard about it from one of the Self Magazine blogs I read and figured they had free samples why not try them. Turns out they are very good. Creamy but not too sticky like how peanut butter can be sometimes. And although it's calorically very similar to PB (which will always have a great place in my heart) it has more fiber and less saturated fat. m Plus it come sin little 0.6 oz packets that I thought would be great to travel with. Except apparently peanut butter is considered a liquid/gel, so I have to fit it into my quart sized bag or check it (which we're avoiding doing for our upcoming trip).
But it is a really great breakfast food on an English muffin* and with a nice bowl of fruit. Served me well this week.
*While defrosting my English muffin I noticed it said on the bag "Now made with no high fructose corn syrup!" I kinda never wanted that in my English muffin anyway...

Gifts and Stuff
Vegetarian Times says that a good father's day gift is a sustainable koa wood skateboard. So, fathers, if you get one, you know who to blame.
The Sherbs and I slaved over a hot stove all day for brunch tomorrow; our guests better like it. We made at least three hot dishes plus our own pita chips. I'm hungry just thinking about it, and I ate dinner (which we also made - ramen plus from Mark Bittman's vegetarian cookbook).

Magazine Madness!
The Sherbs and I got our first issue from our subscription to Vegetarian Times yesterday, and it was totally awesome.
Although it's full of a lot of pseudoscientific alternative crap (unlike Dr. Drew, their doctor advocates "cleansing fasts," despite basically saying in the article that the only benefit is psychological as a spur to get your diet in order; no other scientific benefits have been shown), the recipes look delicious. There's a whole article on tartine recipes ("tartine" is the French for "crunchy open faced sandwich," see an example from Food Network), plus soups that look awesome, such as the American Indian pecan soup.
Even the ads have tasty-looking recipes, including a ministrone recipe from a company that makes vegetable wash.
