Nothing else to really say but this is for my own personal reference mostly. :)

Comcast Internet

Well I’ve made a small transition to Comcast (again). It has been years of no business until recently where the switch from Wide Open West took immediate action. I am not happy with their self installation kit not even a little bit. It’s great if you want all that branded Comcast crap. Loading each step went painfully slow, an error presented itself three times before I had the chance to enter my account number and be done with it. As more time drifts away I am presented with an “enter your account number” screen… I enter the necessary information _correctly_ NO!!! not good enough says Comcast, Okay fine [address info gets entered to verify account] finally finished after an hour. Now listen here Comcast we need to change some things perhaps make an alternate self installation kit for ‘advanced’ or even intermediate users who don’t wish to be paraded by banners and pretty logo’s.

[E]

4 med sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 cup pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 T sunflower Oil
1 T cinnamon
1 T nutmeg
1 T paprika
1 T chili powder
2 t salt
1 t black pepper
4 - 5 T butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl, blend well. In a large bowl with a lid combine all the ingredients, put on the lid and shake it well to blend. Spread the mixture in a 13 x 9 baking dish, dot with thinly sliced butter, cover with aluminum foil and bake for one hour. In the last 10 minutes of baking, remove the foil to brown the top just a bit.

Variations: Add 1 cup each copped carrots and beets, toss and bake the same way.

You can also use any type of winter squash, such as Acorn, Delicata or Butternut.

Vegan Macaroni & ‘Cheeze’

Vegan Macaroni & ‘Cheeze’

2 Cups raw cashew nuts
Juice of one lemon
1 orange, red or yellow pepper
1 T sea salt

1/2 box of multi-grain elbow macaroni noodles
1 bag frozen peas and carrots

Boil the macaroni noodles following box instructions, and steam bag of peas
and carrots in a small amount of water.

In a blender, cut up the pepper into small chunks, (discard stem and seeds
-Add it to your compost!) sea salt and juice of one lemon. [before you
cut the lemon in half, roll it a few times on the counter to loosen up the
juice, then cut it in half and use a fork to get as much juice out as
possible, then squeeze - try not to get the seeds in) Mix this up until it
is liquid. Then add the cashews a little bit at at time based on how much
your blender can handle.

Drain the macaroni noodles and peas, and mix everything together.

Serves 2-3 people.

It’s completely vegan, but you’d never know it!
