So, the Clone mentioned caffeinated soap a while back, and I thought it would be an ok idea, until yesterday. I found Mountain Dew fragrance oil, so now caffeinated soap is an AWESOME idea. I am about to purchase it online, as well as the hickory white peppersmoke for the bacon, and the "special brownie" scents. I think it's easy to say that I am turning in the the girl who makes the weird soaps, but I think there's a market for them. :D
In other news, my month of being meat free starts next Monday. I went to Whole Paycheck Foods today, and picked a few things up that I can't get at my local store, like tahini (to make hummus). Also picked up some tofu. I've never really been a big fan of tofu, but I've only ever really had it in miso soup, which I hate. I've never had a tofu steak, but I've done my research, and have learned how to properly prepare it, so we'll see.
Regardless of how this next month goes, I definitely am going to have to cut back on the amount of meat that I eat. I don't need to have meat every.single.day. Matt doesn't either, but I know I won't be able to convince him of that. If I could just get him to branch out and try new things, I might want to cook more often. I guess it's just that I get so bored cooking the same things every week. I see what my mom is going through with my dad (who is honestly a lost cause), and I don't want to end up like that. I don't want to nag him constantly about it, which is what I feel I am doing. Maybe I can get him to try some of the vegetarian meals I'll be making for myself (that aren't pasta)....yeah right!

Good luck with that. I married a billy goat who I caught eating dried, crusted rice left in the wok 2 nights ago. Ugh. Something of a happy medium for both of us would be nice. ;-)
Seriously- crusty rice? Ew. Silly Grue! I am all for a happy medium for both of us. :)
