June Recap In August, Pride and Loaves

I had no intention of blogging today. Yeah, what else is new? You might say. And I would say, shut up, but with an unmean inflection. I came here to look up one of my recipes, and realized, it's been a while. June seemed so promising, then July came and went, just like a few of my followers. Yep I lost followers even after I was granted not one, not two, but three Loveliest Blogger Awards!!! Maybe the award givers left. No, I still see Cadry's face in the follower section. That's a good sign. Thank you, Cadry. You are very lovely too.
Thank you Richa, and thank you Meg-Chickpea. Are you guys still on board? So who jumped ship, anyway?  I guess a jump is better than a mutiny with a box cutter.


I know that there are virtual love fest inspirational blogs out there. Don't pretend you don't know what I mean. You know those blogs with a million followers? Don't pretend you don't. I'm talking about those saccharine blogs where every follower comment goes something like this,  "I love your blog so much. Thank you for your beautiful inner cookie child quote today. If it weren't for you I would have killed myself with glutenous flour. You saved my sucky life with your Marianne Williamson-Louise Hay-Leo Buscaglia- Alchemist plagiarism." Oh Barfy Barf Barf!

Don't get me wrong. I love helping people and I've been known to use a few Cafe Gratitude quotes and affirmations myself. For the most part my blog is sprinkled with prison time and slumlord references. So upward and onward. Lets' not boohoohoo about spilled almond milk and yesterday's followers. I will not conform.

June/July recap:
GiGi delivers to out of town customer who is in town at hotel.
GiGi is very tired after the delivery and Pride Day parade, so orders Vegan pie in.
GiGi makes Waldorf pizza that crazy boy declares is best pizza ever. For Vegan Pie day.
GiGi has an impromptu ice cream party with CB, me and two buddies.
GiGi receives 3 Loveliest Blogger awards, is interviewed for two blogs, has article in Zine.
GiGi loses several followers.
GiGi starts running again, after mega hiatus. Can now outrun box cutters, and rabid boxers.

Clockwise from left just so you don't confuse me with the vegan deep dish pizza. I once was a dish, but hey now I 'm old and chipped. Bahaha.1.GiGi with bakery box. 2. Bakery boxes. 3. GiGi outside Pickwick Hotel, SF. 4. Zachary's deep dish pizza with incredible marinara and stuffed with Daiya.



One of these babies on the right was in the foil packaging in the collage above. The remainder were on their way somewhere else. That's Sam Sam loaf on the left, punk-in on the right.

I promise to be back soon, armed with an acceptance speech, a thank you to the presenters, ice creme night and an exceptional recipe for Waldorf pizza,and an affirmation you can stick up...

on your mirror. Here's looking at you.
