Vegan Taco's made by Mr. Alex Jeffers (You rock, Alex!) + Chicken Silliness

Oh man, oh MAN o' MAAAAAAAAAAN!

It's been an eternity and a half since I last posted on here.  It looks like I may have gotten pretty wiped out from all of the baking that I did for the Earth Balance contest (which included posting some of the recipes on here), which didn't include the massive amount of Holiday Partying that I did (latke's anyone!?).  Sadly I didn't win anything in any category for the Earth Balance contest - super bummer, yes indeed.  Not even anything in the Gluten-Free category!  HUGETASTIC BUMMEROONI!  Poop.  Yes. POOP!

And now that I have mentioned "poop" in a non-literal form, I shall share with you this blog posts absolutely amazing recipe, however this specific recipe is not my own but a dear friend of mine!  Alex Jeffers, thank-you so very much for your contribution!  You can make me taco's ANY ole' day, I promise I shall stuff my face with them like crazy.  Nom nom nom!

Like usual, I shall share with you the music/music video that I was enjoying while typing this blog post.  I hope you get as big of a kick out of it as I did/still do (the original song that went with this video was "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus.  And before anyone asks, yes it was hard to write a blog with this song playing.  Ell-O'-Ell).  And I must absolutely share a couple of things that Miley and Snoopidy-Doopidy Doggy-Dog sing in this video, because I think they are hysterical, but when Miley sings "I got my Plasma Sword" I damn near pissed myself.  And when Snoopidy-Doopidy started singing about drinking smoothies and industrial windmills, and how we would need to buy two even though he already had one, but hey! he broke the first one!  Basically him singing those things debunked all possible stereotypes I ever could have conjured.  Not that I did, but I sure as heck could have!

What I listened to while I wrote this blog:

For those of you that hang around for Aubrie's shenanigans, then stick around a bit longer because that's about what I'm going to do, you know... have shenanigans.  Wasn't "Black Umbrella" enough for you?!  
It gets me laughing every time when Snoop Dogg says "Samurai" randomly, lolololol.  Not to mention when Miley randomly says, "I'm pregnant". HO HO HO!

A lot has been going on, needless to say it often (or always) is.  A great friend of mine, Ms. Charlene and I are now immediate family members as I have adopted her chicken daughters.  Before anyone goes "Aubrie! Don't you have enough responsibilities already?!  What do you need 10 more nonhuman animals for?!" let me be clear that they are rather low maintenance, which is quite nice.  Not to mention they are hysterical!  This morning one of the hens decided to flirt with Jiraiya (the one and only rooster!   And yes, I did name Jiraiya after "The Pervy/Toad Sage, Jiraiya in the Anime, Naruto.  Pictured right, sitting atop his frog friend is a chibi-like version of Jiraiya; and Jiraiya the ROOSTER is quite a lot like the anime character - he's adorable and perverted, protective and feisty, and his feathers remind me of Jiraiya's

"Spike Hair Jutsu" or whatever they call it in English) a little bit (she's never seen a rooster, let alone been cuddly with one).  How'd she go about this?  She opted to put her head under his wing, then when he turned and looked at her as if he were saying; "oh, you like me?!" she ran away!  Then about 10 minutes later I saw and heard him chasing her all over the yard, and she was screaming bloody murder at the top of her lungs!  What a tease!  After that I am fully convinced that Charlene took to reading the hens Feminist or Religious novels, if not both.  Why?  Because not only are they liberated women, but they are a bit terrified of penis.  There, I said it.  P-E-N-I-S fear!  Don't worry religious ladies, I know plenty of men that feel the same way you do.  You may want to check the lock on your chastity belt though, it might be getting rusty.....  I'm such a little devil, three-prong tail and all!

All in all, I s'pose that would bring the nonhuman animal family members to a total of 39 family members, not including my Mother.  Lol.  Love you, Mom; even if I know you want to raid my freezer and get my Gardein!

Ahhh, that's a long post... more later!  Have a nice night, y'all!

Love, Aubrie

Aubrie is an avid food blogger  eater.  She enjoys her peppery-creamy Quinoa pasta piled high with Gardein and organic, locally grown spinach.  Sometimes I share with the dogs - it depends on how much they're drooling.
