I’ve not made those wings before either cuz i can’t find tempeh but i have just got some tempeh starter in the post so i might have to give them a go when i get around to making some!

Thanks for the congrats! In answer to your question: no, I do not wear a helmet, but it doesn’t have anything to do with my looks (oh if you could see me when I cycle, I look a hot mess).

I probably should wear one, but I justify not doing so by thinking that if something happens and I come off my bike, the chances are pretty slim that I will somehow land on my head. I am not Lance Armstrong, I am never traveling at 70 mph (in fact, I’m never traveling at speeds faster than 25 mph). Also, I live in Memphis and it is HOT. It’s already gotten up into the 90′s (with 60% humidity) and it’s only spring. If I’m honest, I’ll admit that if I have to wear a helmet, I probably won’t cycle at all – it’s miserably hot enough without something strapped to my head.

In short, I won’t say I’ll never start wearing a helmet, but for now I don’t.

As for your kids: you can certainly go out without a helmet and make them wear one… just tell them your head is harder because you’re older, and when they grow up they can cycle without a helmet too

I’m glad I’m not the only one who can eat a whole head of broccoli by myself!

And way to kick ass on the cycling goals! I must ask, however, do you wear a helmet? Because I do not. I’m a total girl when it comes to that and I think I look queer in a helmet. I need to let my ponytail fly free.

And to answer your question — would you rather look queer but have your brains intact or look fabulous dead on the ground — I would choose the latter.

Consequently, I do not ride my bike anymore, as I make my kids wear helmets. I can’t be a bad example to them, now can I?

And WOW, what an amazing plate of food. Everything looks crazy good! I LOVE roasted broccoli, its my very favorite way to eat it. Yum!

I can eat a whole head of broccoli by myself too! So yummy.

Great looking dinner, too!
