Another attempt at finding pumpkin and another FAIL! Ahhh! I want to make pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin oats, pumpkin toast, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake… pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin!!! Yet I have None None None!
So this morning I ventured into the kitchen with a deep yearning for pumpkin oats. Cry! What’s a girl to do when she’s sad, needs breakfast, and cant have her some pumpkin?
Say “Good Morning” to your belly with some Nutella Oats.
In the Mix:
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 tsp milled flax seeds
- pinch salt
- shake cinnamon
- shake pumpkin pie spice (aww the pumpkin
)
- sliced almonds
- raspberries
- 1 tbsp Nutella
Add everything but the almonds, Nutella and raspberries and cook. Then top and stir together. I promise it will take away any pumpkin tears, at least for a minute or two 
.
Last night on the way home from campus Mom and I stopped at a farm stand. She stops there a lot while I’ve passed it about a million times and never gone in. I found loads of stuff there including pomegranates, yams, FIGS!, these raspberries which I fear will be the last berries of 2010 in my life, and some white peaches that are dying to be eaten before rotting.
Okay I’m done with the Pumpkin Rant. Onto another rant, I’ll keep this one on the low down, promise.
The ankle is doing pretty great. The swelling is almost completely gone, well as much as I can see and my walking (gait) has gotten so much more normal. When I started walking I couldn’t bring my left foot out in front of my right (the surgery one) now I can take an almost full stride. After my walk on Sunday I felt sore but not on my ankle. My hip and back has been pretty inflamed because my walking boot has such a thick sole, I’m very uneven. But on Monday and now Today my joint is throbbing. I even broke down and took a vicodin.
I’m still not sleeping well, I think it’s just the cast and once it’s off everything in the Shut Eye Department will get exponentially better. Luckily my cast is coming off on FRIDAY 
, can you believe it? This Friday! Then I’m in a walking boot and can start physical therapy. I’m excited about the boot, I’ll be able to take it off to sleep and shower but not excited about PT.

I have a wonderful little basket of figs thanks to my farm stand and I’ve never had one or cooked with one before. What is your favorite fig including recipe?
I need some inspiration and don’t know where to start.
