Vegan Pumkin Pie and other Happenings

Turkey day is around tomorrow and I've been baking all night. Roasted up my tofurky and I'm waiting on the pie. I basted my tofurky in an alteration of the recipe on the box. I used olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, rosemary and wine, along side veggies.

Pumpkin Pie:
I found this searching for vegan pumpkin pie recipes (so I can share with friends). I also altered this from this recipe http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/9598 and http://veganconnection.com/recipes/pumpkin_pie.htm. I did not mix the spices I bought a bulk baggie of organic pumpkin pie spice from Wheatsville .

• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 1 cup almond milk
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 Tbs. dark molasses or to taste
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 dash of extra cinnamon 

Mix all ingredieants in a large bowl and pour in pie shell. Bake at 450F for 10 mins. and continue at 350F for 50 mins. Cool, refrigerate and eat next day. Yum!
I hope this comes out good with these modifications.

Now for some Black Friday news, Etsy now has coupon codes and if you've had an eye on something in my shop now's the time to shop. Use coupon code, Black, for an extra 20% off anything in the shop. 

P.S. Bleach Update. Yellow!!! (The picture makes it look a bit worse) I got a compliment from a 13 yr. old girl, it kinda made me feel better about it, she was sincere. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the chance to do it all over again, now Manic Panic's Flash Lighting kit

Bleach #2

Going Blonde

Hello Marilyn...
Ok, so I'm living out some teenage fantasies right now. Everything at it's right time right? I had my cousin bleach my hair on Friday (Bleach #1 one). I'm gonna have to do one or two more times, don't try and do it all at once, it'll fry the crap out of your hair. We went to Sally's Beauty supply and bought some stuff, got the blue kaleidocolors bleach powder packet and 40 developer, hair oil and conditioner. Go for 30 developer it's not as strong or a combination of 40 and 20 as I saw earlier.
Results:

 

Bleach #1

 I went to Walgreen's today and picked up some other hair products to maintain my almost there new do

Maintenance

The green bottle is a re-constructor I'm gonna try out free it has a mail in rebate right now. I think the shampoo (Jhirmack) might be discontinued at most stores, it was 2 bucks so I bought the two that were left. I've had the Manic Panic (Ultra Violet) I've always wanted a head of purple hair. We'll see... I wanted to get some Dumb Blonde by Bed Head, but I gotta wait for my next paycheck. I Youtube'd a bunch of videos about bleaching last night, most of them are obnoxious. I'll let you see for your self

I'll be posting more pictures as my hair gets lighter

Tuesday came early this week...and if you're late than you might be an Unwed Teenage Mother

Out now on Play Pinball! Records (as of Monday) is the new The Unwed Teenage Mothers 12" Blonde Girls. Double your pleasure and double your fun with this duplicate sided record. According to the boys at Play Pinball! "you'll need that new side after about a month of spinning the strong 150 gram vinyl over and over and over and over and over...and over!" The band includes members of Bass Drum of Death and Lover!.
It says on the Pinball! site that "The Unwed Teenage Mothers are gonna knock you down and then knock you up." Sounds good to me, get one of these oh so exclusive 12"s of your own, only 420 to go around, 100 blond ones and various surprises. Play Pinball! Records knows how to make one hell of collectible record each sleeve is hand screen printed and the color variations are endless. Snatch one up tonight at Knockyouupdotcom
