Marching Onward

I'm ending my run tomorrow as Elaine Harper in Arsenic and Old Lace and I've had a fairly good time, though I'd be happier if there were more than 20 people in the audience! I try out for Curtains tomorrow if I can make it there in time after the closing of my matinee.
In addition to that, I've been teaching and cooking up a storm, which is probably why I haven't written too much. Between rehearsal, work, and cooking, I've not had a lot of time to sit down and write about those things.
I went on a vegan cookie binge, thanks to Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. So far my favorites include fig bars, carrot spice cookies, and cherry almond cookies. I still have a ton to go. Now I am on a vegan quickbread binge, and plan on making another loaf of blueberry whole wheat and cornmeal bread, which I find darn awesome. So far 500 Vegan Recipes has been the sponsor of much of my quick bread adventures, but now I'm starting to get a lot of inspiration from Kris Holchek's book and blog.
It's funny. Most of the last summer and fall (before the cold hit), I was perfectly happy with fruit, veggies, and beans making up my main foods, and the once weekly bread binge. Ever since the cold hit I've been a carb fool. Thankfully, I've been using a lot more whole grains than I used to, which doesn't make it health food, but it does make it healthier! It's a lot harder to stay with the weight loss goals while eating so much bread and cookies, you can imagine.
This winter I've also become a fairly decent soup chef, which is something I plan on blogging about soon too (unless I get a great part after my audition tomorrow! Wish me luck!)
