TT asked me yesterday if I was going to share more pictures of my purple hair, and I was surprised to find that I hadn't! I really thought I had shown you guys what I looked like once the stuff got off my scalp, but having not, I'll give you a couple shots today:



I like the deep richness of the color, personally.

I have trouble getting good pictures of myself, and I'm pretty sure I don't look this bald normally, but this is the general style I wear my hair in these days, when I actually stop to think about doing more than running a comb through it (which is about once every three days):



So, that's me.

Wouldn't I look spiffy with some red or rose-colored sunglasses?

Foodie!

Now, I don't know if many of you know, but I've recently gone vegetarian, and along with weight goals, I've been recording the results.

It's been fantastic. I can honestly say that I barely miss meat, and usually I miss it most when I'm watching Food Network, especially Alton Brown. Et tu, Alton?

But then there's what happens when I cook at home. Inspiration strikes, and another meal hits the stove, quick, relatively easy, and very tasty. I haven't been disappointed with any of my vegetarian dishes yet, though I've desperately wanted to so that I could call it a failure and go back to eating things like king crab, or steak. I miss seafood the most, though I used to eat it less than any other meat. That's strange. Since this is a 30-day exercise I'm working on (the vegetarian thing), I'll probably add seafood back in afterwards, but not much other meat.

Tonight's meal came in a burst of inspiration. I made completely from scratch pasta sauce. Peeled some tomatoes, diced onion and garlic, threw them all together. Chiffonaded some basil (cut it into strips), added that, some salt and pepper, a little burgundy, and that's basically it.

I'm doing something you almost never see on Top Chef; actually tasting the food before it's done, and I've got to tell you, I am pleased.

If I keep cooking things like this, I might just stay vegetarian for a very long time.
