Wet, hungry but still happy!

Shmeedle and I went climbing tonight and on the way home got caught in the rain, very caught in a lot of rain. You can't see, but it was all dripping:

But it didn't dampen my spirits as I had a good climbing night, and made it up some climbs that I didn't think I would. I'm glad that my old climbing self is starting to peak through the summer-off-climbing-self. Looking forward to Wednesday.

Was starving when we got home, so Shmeedle had leftovers and I made myself tempeh, arugula, onion and avocado sandwiches. They were really good. I marinated (for approx. 6 minutes.. no patience) the tempeh in soy sauce (pearl rivir brand, it's amazing), water, lemon juice and some hot sauce. Then I fried it up, using the marinating liquid on the pan. It soaked it all up and turned out pretty good, take a look:

I am a firm believer in open-face sandwiches, that way you taste all of the good sandwich innerds, instead of only having a lot of bread to bite through. Dinner was rounded off with some vanilla Soy Delicious with caramel sauce on it. mmm... a little taste of summer on a very rainy night.

You'll probably notice that I talk alot about Shmeedle, he's really Dave but I mostly call him Shmee.. this is him... he's dreamy (and a bit of a silly goof :)

Do you make your own tempeh, or buy it? I have been eating tempeh burgers from Loblaws lately, they are so good.

Hi Judy,
Sadly, I don't make my own tempeh I buy Henry's Gourment Tempeh http://www.tempeh.ca/ (I would have no idea where to even start to make my own, other than google). I do season mine myself, as to cook it without anything from the package it would be quite bland. I've never tried the loblaws tempeh burgers... hmm, will have to keep my eye open for those.
