Happy New Year! (Okay, so it’s a little late. Whatev.)
I got a job in October working as a Customer Service Supervisor for a well-known electronics company, but my last day was Wednesday so that’s all sort of irrelevant now. My new job is to help The Brit with his business – bookkeeping, answering phones, data entry etc… Should be fun, right?
I’ve eaten lots of good things in the last few months, but I don’t have many pictures to share. I’ll show you the few things I have managed to capture before I devoured them.
First off, some frozen vegetable filled buns I got from the Asian market a while ago. Steamed in my bamboo steamer, these were surprisingly good. I haven’t been back, but when I do finally go I will definitely get more of these. Sorry, no inside shot.
Next, I finally made Julie’s sausages (along with a shit-ton of other things) for a get together at my house. I didn’t get pictures of any of the finished food, but I did manage to snap this photo of the dry ingredients for the sausages. So pretty, no?
Chicken Parmesan! Boca patties, vegan parmesan, marinara and Teese. Totally easy, but super yummy. Served with whole wheat linguine with marinara and a giant salad (not shown).
Next up, my first ever experience with soy curls – Thai style peanut coconut curry. I soaked the soy curls in chicken style broth, squeezed out the liquid and sauteed them in my wok until they were browned. Removed them and sauteed some bell peppers and onions with fresh garlic and ginger. Removed those and made the sauce. I couldn’t duplicate it if I tried, but it was something like coconut milk, reserved chicken style broth, maple peanut butter, tamarind paste, demerara sugar, thai red curry paste, lime juice and dried basil. Simmered until thickened, added everything back in, served with rice. The only thing it was missing was fresh basil, but it’s impossible to find here this time of year so I settled. It was still yum.
And for dessert, Triple Threat Chocolate Cheesecake from My Sweet Vegan. Words can not do it justice, so I’ll just leave you with a picture.
