I have red barns on the mind today. It probably has something to do with fall. I've always wanted to have a barn dance in the fall. You know, a bon fire with honky music playing and everyone doing the dosey-do. Swing your partner round-n-round. Can't you just hear it?
Well, this leads me to my post today. Really it's just a round and round sort of post. (Read: A bunch of random Mumbo Jumbo... now you know how I got the name for my blog... I know-- how original! End sidenote). Last week Casey and I were able to go to lunch. This hasn't happened in ages sans Caden. It was delightful and it's just like we were back in our own little dating world. The world where we would ride around in the old blue slug bug and kiss at red lights. Sweet romance, I tell you. Now our red lights are filled with climbing over the seat to make sure Caden has what he needs, or to swat away the dog from making a popsicle out of him (because he licks Caden THAT much).
Speaking of licking, I love, love, LOVE carmel apples and I need to make some very, very soon. Too bad my parents apple tree has stopped giving us love. I'm sure Caden would love some apples now. He is busy eating everything that comes in his way. Including dog food and lint. Yummy, yummy. I bet you're hungry right now. Speaking of hungry, did I tell you what Casey said last night? He said that we should cut down on our meat intake. Crazy, I know! I tend to agree with him, but we are the meat and potatoes kind of family so this will be hard. He mentioned tofu and I think I shriveled up and died right there. I don't like tofu. I repeat, I don't like tofu. Maybe the dog would eat my tofu... he is on a slight diet as the vet said he's gaining wait too rapidily. Have you seen our dog? Yeah, he's big, but I pretty sure he is suppose to be. So our dog is probably starving. Especially now that Caden's eating some of his food.
Now aren't you glad that I brought you up to date on all of our randomness? You are probably starving now so I will whip you up some carmel apples. Do you want any special toppings on yours?

Less meat - WOW, who'd a thunk it! If it helps, I can say with some experience that there are many more options out than than just tofu (I actually avoid tofu). Admittedly it can be hard at first to part with a traditional staple of the American diet, but there really is a cornucopia of choices for non-meat food - and it can be quite a liberating experience to eat less meat, and good for our planet too not to mention all them creatures that may not need to be taken to the slaughter house in such excess. Ok, off my soap box now ;)
p.s. I think there is still a reserve of apples out the ranch ;)
Deb,
Drew and I really love this tofu recipe. We serve it over rice...

Beans is where it's at! We eat a lot of beans, some fish, and little meat and we love it. Alexander will eat chickpeas but he "[doesn't] like garbanzo beans" little does he know... Anyhoo, we love beans here. And as an FYI the beauty of the "magical fruit" doesn't last long.
