End of summer

Hello! Hope your weekends were lovely! I enjoy my days off, and FINALLY got one good beach day in as the summer comes to a close. Nik and I took the train out to Long Beach, Long Island on Saturday and spent the day basking in the sun and taunting waves in the ocean. Love it when a good wave kicks your butt! I packed us some tofu sammiches for a little picnic on the beach. Long Beach is awesome...clean white sand, not too crowded, and the weather was PERFECT. Farewell summer!

Ohhhhh and I found some Dandies at Whole Foods last week! I ate half the bag as is, before I made myself stow them away so there would be SOME left to bake with later. I made some chocolate walnut dandies, kinda using the chocolate chocolate chip recipe from VCon. Amaazing!
