Earth Shoes today.

OB Food: Baby Dutch yellow potatoes (these taters are small!), boiled
then placed on a baking sheet, lightly smashed, drizzled with oil,
seasoned with S&P and roasted. Very tasty!

Of course it counts! I've never actually owned a pair of Earth
Shoes, BTW. I remember thinking they were rather silly. Backwards
slanting heels... Why would you want the ball of your foot and your toes
higher than the heel of your foot? Didn't make sense to me.

Earth Shoe joke: Wear these and you *always* walk uphill both ways.

You should have at least tried them. They were amazingly comfortable.
They came out sometime around 1980. I had seen them advertised so, one
day at the mall, I went into a shoe store and tried them on.

Unbelievably comfortable. Felt like I was walking on clouds. Actually
put a smile on my face which is an odd reaction to trying on a pair of
new shoes.

Not only did I buy them but I kept them on. I carried my old shoes home
in the new shoebox. Loved those things.

Per Wikipedia:

"In 1970, Raymond and Eleanor Jacobs founded the Earth Shoe company in
the United States, after discovering Anna Kalsø and her negative-heel
shoes in Copenhagen, Denmark. The shoes were introduced in New York City
on April 1, 1970, three weeks before the first Earth Day."

Yes. I thought about that timeframe later yesterday. I was thinking it
was after I first got married (1979). Then I realized, I was with an old
girlfriend when I bought those.

We were together from summer of 1972 to the summer of 1973 so that's
when I bought the earth shoes. Again though, they were so comfortable
and I really liked them.

loaves , one for hot dog buns , and one for hoagie buns . Dinner was
pork loin steaks simmered in mushroom soup with sliced fresh shrooms ,
served over egg noodles . Green beans seasoned with onion and bacon bits
as a side .

I should have taken pictures of this one but we were hungry!

Main was a butter stirfry of: carrot, Gai Lan (you can use regular
broccoli but use stem too), Mushrooms (3 types), Bell peppers (4
colors), Daikon, Sweet onion, 1 large clove minced garlic and cooked
Udon noodles. 'Sauce' was vegetable broth with a bit of soy and 'Duck
sauce' and cornstarch.

Nicely colorful. How much of each depends on your own desires but for
us the first 4 were close to 1/2 cup each then 1/4 cup each of Daikon
and onion. The Udon was about 1 1/4 cups. We have a leftover 3/4 cup
in the fridge.

Sides we plain white rice, tangerine, a few cashews

Might seem odd to some but as I've said, while we emphatically are NOT
vegetarian, we tend frequently to have several days a week where you
wouldn't know we weren't. This one may qualify as vegan as well.

No, you're not emphatically vegetarian but most of your meals do tend to
lean emphatically towards Asian.

Butter disqualifies it from being vegan.

I wear my earth shoes almost every day (as opposed to my space
boots).
