OMG I hate quitting caffeine. I swear this is the LAST time! I definitely understand why smokers have such trouble quitting. Sweet bebe hayzeus my energy and mood is all over the place. And that was still with SOME caffeine. This sucks bawls.

They eat ALL THE CEREALS and don’t tell me when I go grocery shopping. This results in breakfast being a hungry dissapointment. /rage

Dear Ryan Guldemond of Mother Mother,
It was very cool of you to attempt to strike up a conversation with me when I sat down beside you at the Naam last night, awaiting my dinner companions.
I apologize for kind of brushing you off! I was tired at the end of the day and was faced with dinner with my girlfriend and her mother. A daunting prospect for many a man.

I soon realized who you were as I sat there being subjected to life-updates of people I don’t know. Did you hear the part about the singing bowls that heal people? haha

I just wanted to say you’re awesome and I hope chance allows me to meet you again!

PS your Free show earlier this year with Said the Whale in North Van, in the rain, was freaking amazing!

PPS sorry if you caught me staring as you left, my mind was in the process of being blown :)

I finally understand. Once the flow of information trickles to a halt, work can actually get done!

chickpea “meat”balls
by request, and as a part of “meatless monday” we’re putting here a completed recipe for good chickpea meatballs. we really enjoyed them, and we hope you do too!
take 4 cups of cooked chickpeas (or warmed canned chickpeas) and put them in a food processor with 1 cup ground oats (you can use either pre-ground oats or put some rolled oats into a coffee grinder.) process this until the chickpeas are no longer wholly visible.
measure out 2 tsp oregano, 2 tsp thyme, 1 tsp crushed bay leaf (optional), a dash hot pepper (we have cayenne), 1 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp sea salt, and 2 tsp tarragon (we had fresh tarragon and it totally MADE this dish.) mix it all with 1 tbsp olive oil.
put the chickpea mixture and the spices into a big bowl. slowly pour in vegetable stock as you knead everything together, making everything stick together, but not liquidy. you should end up with one big solid mass, that’s a little sticky but holds together.
at this point you can either fry them in a pan, like we did, or you could bake it in the oven, perhaps in a pan shallowly filled with tomato sauce and vegetables. good luck!

I served these for dinner tonight! I fried mine and served them alone with a tahini, lemon juice, and cilantro sauce. They were pretty good and my (omnivorous) folks seemed to like them.
A word of warning, though: they’re really crumbly.
