Mediterranean brunch

poopiebitch — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:03:17 +0000

I love the weekends. Saturdays are perfect for sleeping in, making a big lazy brunch and avoiding the world.

Of course, just because you’re avoiding the world, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the flavors of it. Tami’s recipe for Mediterranean Scramble is perfect for waking your taste buds up on those sleepy days. If you hadn’t guessed it yet, this is another tester for her cookbook.

Bright, bold and flavorful.

One can’t live on tofu scramble alone, though. I’ve gotta have something starchy with mine, and Tami’s Homefries #1 fit the bill nicely. These decadent fries are the perfect compliment to the light, clean flavors of the scramble.

Rich and delicious.

All in all, the perfect meal to fuel a day of doing as little as possible.

Keep the faith

I’ve got photos of two more testers for Bianca’s book to share with you, both of which are amazing!

I’ll start with the Chocolate Gravy. I know what you’re thinking: Chocolate? Gravy? An excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast? Who thought of such a thing?! I don’t know, but I want to give that person a hug.

So perfect paired with Bianca's fluffy biscuits.

Next up, nothing short of a miracle. The Brit (in)famously hates squash. HATES. I cannot stress this enough. I (being the bitch that I am) insisted on serving him some of Bianca’s Creamy Squash Casserole anyway. He (being the ever-patient husband that he is) agreed to try it. When he took his first bite, I was very much encouraged when he didn’t immediately spit it out. When I asked what he thought, his exact words were: “it’s surprisingly un-revolting”… Then he ate the whole serving. Did you get that, people? HE. ATE. IT. *cue Hallelujah Chorus*

Creamy Squash Casserole, or gift from the gods? You decide.

Moral of this story? Keep the faith, children. Always keep the faith.

One a penny, two a penny

First off, *thank you* to everyone who got excited with me over The Brit’s conversion! I’m still so stoked about it! We’re working on finding a non-dairy milk he likes right now. Soy was a no-go, rice was a definite no-go, as was almond… oat seems to be okay so far. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I hope everyone had a good Zombie Jesus Day! On Good Friday I made Hot Cross Buns. Except… I left off the crosses due to laziness. I tried to make pseudo-crosses by cutting an “X” in the top of each bun, but when they baked they ended up looking more like little horns. I guess I should have called them Blasphemous Buns instead.

I made another tester for Bianca’s cookbook! This time it was Buttermilk Biscuits – a southern staple. She hit the nail on the head again with this awesome recipe! They were light, fluffy, AND 100% whole wheat. I cut them into hearts because it’s cute.

And what would southern-style biscuits be without gravy? Bianca’s creamy Sausage-Sage Gravy made this an awesome breakfast.

This baked lemon-herb tofu didn’t turn out as fabulous as I’d hoped, but it was still tasty enough to eat! Mashed gold potatoes can make up for anything less than stellar, anyway.

There was nothing less than stellar about this pizza, though! I made apple-sage sausages to grill at my parents’ house on Saturday, and this was the perfect way to use the leftovers.

This was the first pizza I’ve ever made 100% from scratch. The ‘ricotta’ and pesto were inspired by the Isa Pizza in VwaV, but I didn’t have the right ingredients so I fudged it. Homemade: pizza dough, roasted red pepper sauce (no tomatoes – The Brit isn’t a tomato fan), tofu ‘ricotta’, spinach pesto (I didn’t have any fresh basil), apple-sage sausages and caramelized onions. This pizza was AMAZING.

And the best part? I still have half the pizza dough leftover, wrapped up in my freezer. I foresee much more homemade pizza in my future!

The upper crust

poopiebitch — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:20:00 +0000

Every week, usually twice a week, I bake my own sandwich bread. I love it (and so does The Brit), but sometimes I want more. Something… heartier. Crustier. Chewier.

I decided to try my hand at no-knead bread, guessing it would pair perfectly with the soup I planned on making. I was right.

Check out that sexy crust.

Don’t let that tough exterior fool you.

Inside it’s all soft and chewy.

It’s not a great photo, but the leftover bread made amazing French Toast.

I definitely see more specialty bread in my future.

Rolled foods

If you missed my last post, go check it out, and enter for a chance to win an adorable wee plush monster of your very own.

Okay, now that I’m done whoring myself out, on to the food! I baked some Asian marinated tofu (leftover from grilling), and put it in sushi along with avocado, green onions, carrots and black sesame seeds. Possibly the best sushi I’ve ever made:

And of course, gotta have something sweet… like cinnamon rolls! These were pretty much amazing. I let The Brit talk me into using all white flour (which NEVER happens in my house) and I made them extra-large (that’s a 12″ pan they’re in, so they’re 4″ each!). I put raisins in the filling, which I’ve never tried before, and it was so good.

Check out the giant deliciousness:

That’s it for now!

Stacked food tastes better

poopiebitch — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 05:55:00 +0000

It’s pretty late so I’ll keep this entry short. It’s about time I updated though since it’s been a couple of days.

Tuesday was The Brit’s birthday so we had planned ahead of time to go out to eat for lunch (we didn’t go out last week for that very reason). We headed out to his favorite Indian place Golden India. It was awesome as always!

We had planned on just having sandwiches for dinner, but my parents offered to buy us dinner at a restaurant of The Brit’s choosing to celebrate, and we couldn’t really pass up a free meal, now could we? He picked P.F. Chang’s, and it was really good too.

Because of eating out twice in one day(!), I don’t have any pictures from Tuesday. I do have a couple of old ones that I never posted though. I’ll share them now.

Behold, tofu scramble:

And here’s one of some spinach pesto pasta. I made this before our trip to Texas in an effort to use up a bag of spinach that was going to go off. It’s mostly spinach, a little fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. I decided at the end to blend in some soft silken tofu to make it creamy. It certainly did! This was rich and yummy.

I did end up using the leftover tempeh from my last post in sandwiches. It was much better like this than on it’s own, by far.

And last but not least, yesterday was my one year veganniversary! To celebrate I made some stacked food. Pan-fried polenta topped with walnut white bean puree and mushrooms sauteed in white wine, served with garlicky spinach. Yum!

Peace out, yo!

The last of the travels

poopiebitch — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 07:02:00 +0000

In Nashville we got to meet up with a couple of people from the PPK for brunch at Fido. It was super-fun and yummy, although I didn’t manage to get any pictures of my food (sorry!).

Here’s the adorable Annieeggplant, who was kind enough to grace us with her awesome presence:

And of course, what would a trip to Nashville be without a visit with the fabulous johnp? Here he is holding the famous little blue monster made by pandacookie:

Thanks so much to John for organizing such a fun get-together! It was really great meeting you two!

After Nashville we wound up driving to Asheville NC, you know, just for fun. After just a little searching online we found this fantastic place called The Green Sage:

I opted for a soy latte:

And this enormous brunch plate with scrambled tofu, sweet potato home fries, vegan sausage, a giant vegan biscuit(!) and Earth Balance. Holy yum, this was good.

It was freezing out, so after we finished eating brunch we decided to stick around in the warmth for a bit longer and indulge in a little Earl Grey tea. They had soy milk, rice milk, agave and stevia on the condiment bar! I love Asheville.

That’s it for our trip out east. Last week The Brit and I went to TX to visit the grandparents, so of course a visit to Spiral Diner was in order. The Brit and I each ordered a sandwich and split them, so we could both try a couple of things.

We got the Meatball Sub:

And the Chopped BBQ Seitan:

We both agreed that the BBQ Seitan sandwich was better, but we managed to finish them both anyway After lunch I ordered an almond milk latte with vanilla syrup. It was soooo good.

Check out that foam:

Of course, I couldn’t leave without dessert. We ordered the ‘Deathstar Sundae’, which was a warm brownie with homemade vanilla ‘i-scream’ and soy whipped cream, with a shot of espresso on the side to pour over the whole thing. The Brit didn’t really like it (he’s not much of a sweets person), so I had to eat most of it. Such a sacrifice, right?

Overall, this visit to Spiral Diner went over with The Brit much better than last time, and that in itself made me happier than the food did. Well, almost.

NYC Food!

poopiebitch — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:15:00 +0000

That’s right, I am FINALLY getting around to uploading pictures of food from my trip to NYC. Since there are so many pictures total, I’ve decided to do all of the food photos in one post, and the non-food photos in another post.

Wednesday

I didn’t think to snap a photo of the oatmeal I ate before I left, but it’s sort of irrelevant because this is really only about the food that I ate while I was gone, anyway. I packed a lunch to take with me on the plane, because we would still be traveling over lunchtime and I am never one to miss a meal.

It’s not a pretty picture, but below was my ‘airplane food’. A mock chicken salad sandwich with potato chips, a fruit leather and some yummy biscuits they gave out on the plane which happened to be vegan! Score.

For dinner we went to Better Burger. It was just okay. I liked that they offered a Veggie Burger and a Soy Burger, both of which were vegan. I went with the Soy Burger with vegan cheese. It was poorly put together and difficult to eat, but it wasn’t terrible. I almost went with a soy hot dog, and I kind of wished I had – if only for the fact that it was cheaper.

This burger cost $5.99 and the baked fries were another $2.75. I probably wouldn’t go there again.

Later that evening we took a trip to the Tribeca Whole Foods. I was kind of in love with the huge salt selection (and I bought some black salt! Woo!).

Here I am holding my first ever bag of Tings! I had to finish the whole bag before the end of our trip because, you know, I didn’t have room in my luggage to bring it back. Yeah.

And probably my favorite find of the trip – a Sweet & Sara Smores.

Hello, lover.

Thursday

Thursday morning we went to Westerly Natural Market, which was just around the corner from our hotel. I bought a pre-made sandwich which was supposedly mock tuna salad. It was pretty good, although a little weird. Nice to be able to pick up a pre-made vegan sandwich though.

I also bought a tofu blueberry knish, which was pretty damn tasty. All together it was an odd breakfast, I know, but I was really hungry from all the walking the day before and it fit the bill very nicely.

For lunch we went to Atlas Cafe (sorry, no website). I got a latte and the Vegan Philly Steak sandwich. It was SPICY and good. The cafe is tiny and poorly lit, so sorry about the crappy picture. I really liked this place and would have gone back for sure if we’d stayed in town longer.

For dinner we went to a vegetarian Thai place called Pukk. I got the ‘Triple Crispy’. It was yum, but again the lighting was terrible so you’ll have to excuse the bad picture.

Friday

Breakfast consisted of a soy latte from Starbucks and a vegan blueberry muffin from Whole Foods (it got a little smooshed in my bag, but it was still tasty!).

After this super-early breakfast we went to The Today Show to try and get on TV. I won’t go into all the painful detail, I’ll just leave it at us spending two hours in -4 degree weather, without it being worth it in the end. Whatever.

Everything was okay again once we got to Teany. It was cold and overcast all morning, but as soon as we stepped through the door and walked down the steps into this cozy little cafe, the sun came out and shone through the window we were sitting by. It was literally like a little oasis of warmth and calm after a day of cold and chaos.

I ordered a pot of juniper berry and red currant tea (number 51) and a vegan BLT.

The tea was awesome, and they had agave nectar and soy milk on the condiment bar!

The BLT was seriously awesome, it had LOTS of lettuce and tomato and Vegenaise, just the way I like it.

After my sandwich I got a slice of carrot cake (all of their desserts are vegan – awesome, right?). It was wonderful, but I totally forgot to get a picture. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

Teany was honestly my favorite eatery we went to on the whole trip. I wish I lived in Manhattan just so I could be a regular there.

Saturday

Our last day in NYC, we decided to go out for brunch before heading to Penn Station to catch the train back to Newark Airport. We went to Counter Vegetarian Bistro, which I’d read had a great veggie brunch. And they did.

The Brit got a mimosa with his brunch:

I ordered what I thought would be just regular old hot chocolate. The options were a ‘shot’ and a ‘bowl’. A word to the wise: order the shot. This stuff is good, but it’s like drinking chocolate soup. I literally ate it with my spoon. It was awesome though, it tasted like it had a little kick of cayenne.

For my meal I ordered the French Toast. Holy shit, this stuff was awesome. I was definitely on a sugar high by the end of the meal, but it was worth every bite.

Back at the airport, we opted for one last meal before boarding the first flight back home. I got some penne with marinara, which was mediocre but filling.

And as a treat after that so-so meal, I ate the Peanut Butter Smores that I had been saving. It was good, and usually I’m of the opinion that everything is better with peanut butter, but surprisingly I didn’t like it as much as the original. It was still pretty awesome though.

That’s about it… still to come: non-foodie pictures from NYC, and pictures from my trip to Nashville.

No New York Yet -OR- I love alliteration

poopiebitch — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:48:00 +0000

Yeah, that’s right, my lazy ass hasn’t sorted through the pictures from NYC yet. I will do it, I promise. I have been cooking though! Shown below, in a somewhat nonsensical dinner-lunch-breakfast order, are my latest yummies.

First off, Bianca‘s Chipotle Chickpea Chili, another tester for her book. Holy mother of beans, this stuff is good. Even The Brit ate it, and he’s the pickiest person I know. I made some double corn bread muffins to go along with it. Thank goodness this made enough for leftovers tonight, because I’ve been craving it since I got up this morning. I almost had it for breakfast. Seriously.

Up next, I have possibly boring but incredibly delicious lunches from the last couple of days. First, roasted red pepper hummus, avocado, tomato and cucumber in a whole wheat pita. So easy. So good.

Next, essentially the same thing but with leftover tempeh bacon and Vegenaise in place of the hummus. Serious yum.

Last, breakfast this morning was tofu scramble, which is so hard to photograph because it rarely looks pretty, but I tried anyway. This was basically a ‘clean out the fridge before I go out of town again’ breakfast, using up leftover tofu, mushrooms and onion. I normally like something green in my scramble, but I didn’t have anything so I tossed in some sun-dried tomatoes instead. Doesn’t really make sense, but whatever. The muffins are just leftover cornbread with blueberry jam.

The Brit and I are leaving tomorrow to go to Nashville for the weekend, so I probably won’t post again until Monday. Have a good weekend everyone!

Inauguration Day breakfast

poopiebitch — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:47:00 +0000

I had an awesome time in NYC, but I haven’t sorted through all my photos yet, so you’ll have to wait to read about it. Don’t worry, I have something equally as good – if not better – for today’s post.

Seeing as it’s such a special day, what with the inauguration of President Obama and all, I figured I should make a special breakfast. And what could be more special than testing Bianca‘s Cinnamon Pecan Waffles and Tempeh Bacon from her upcoming southern vegan cookbook! I couldn’t decide on which photos to share, so I thought I’d just share a bunch!

Let me tell you – these were the best waffles I’ve ever made. Seriously. The flavor was awesome, cinnamon-y and not too sweet, and the texture was perfect! Crispy and delicious. And since The Brit isn’t a fan of pecans, I get to eat all of these waffles myself! Yay! I even have enough leftover to last the rest of the week.

The tempeh bacon was also the best I have ever made. Of course, I’ve only tried once before, but it was a total disaster. Bianca’s recipe was so easy and so tasty, I can’t wait to make it again! I definitely see some rockin’ TLT’s in my future.

Pictures from Manhattan to come, but in the meantime, happy inauguration day everyone!

Tapas, NOT topless

poopiebitch — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 03:23:00 +0000

I get into very uninteresting food ruts sometimes. Lately I’ve been eating noochy toast every morning. It’s just whole wheat toast topped with vegan margarine and nutritional yeast. This morning I had it with blueberry soy yogurt and orange juice. Yum.

Lunch was definitely more interesting! I met up with some people at a new restaurant – Safari World Tapas Bar. We started with falafel, hummus and pita. Oh how I love falafel! Also, this was some of the best hummus I’ve ever put in my mouth.

Ahnah had falafel. Of course I had to try some – it was great.

Vaughan had a veggie stir-fry, which also looked delicious (sorry for the flash, the lighting was bad).

Bianca and I both had the tomato basil pasta. It was so good! It was definitely a good lunch.

Coming soon: more sweets!

Compensating

poopiebitch — Fri, 23 May 2008 15:07:00 +0000

We have water! We still have to have someone come out and rehang drywall so they can put the sink back. Right now it’s living on our (wet) bedroom floor:

The plumber cut a very large hole to find a very small pipe:

Hopefully all of that will be over with soon. Oy.

This post is pic heavy because I am both trying to make up for my lack of posts, and trying to make up for the fact that it will probably be Monday before I post again. I have a wedding cake and groom’s cake to make and deliver to Oxford, MS tomorrow, and another small wedding cake to be delivered in Memphis on Sunday. I will be crazy busy/extremely exhausted, so I’m apologizing in advance.

In the meantime, pictures!

Banana Wheat Germ Muffins from V’con. These were very tasty, and not too sweet. I baked them in muffin liners with little animals on them, because they are adorable.

My first ever seitan! I used the recipe for Seitan O’Greatness from the PPK forums. I really liked the flavor and how easy it was. The Brit loved the texture, but wasn’t so crazy about the flavor. Anyone who knows him would know what a huge deal that is – he actually almost liked it! I’m going to make it again and switch up the seasonings until I find something he’ll like.

I will take this opportunity to introduce two of my favorite kitchen tools. First, my cast iron wok (all oiled up here, ready for action):

Second, my rice cooker. I freaking love my rice cooker:

Using these two tools, together with my Seitan O’Greatness, I made a yummy sweet and sour stir-fry that was actually pretty good. Even The Brit ate it!

I always make a little extra rice so I can have rice pudding. This time I added some currants, which I love! I shook up the soy milk before adding it, and for some reason it stayed really foamy even after cooking it with the rice. You can see the little bubbles:

We bought some more strawberries and I decided we should have strawberries and champagne. After trimming and cutting the strawberries, I macerated them in some Grand Marnier and a little sugar for about half an hour. Then I poured on a little Silk Soy Creamer (The Brit used real cream) and served them up with a glass of nicely chilled champagne. Indulgent, I know! (sorry for the crappy picture)

And last, this morning I made ‘Egg McVegans’ using this recipe. I pressed the tofu overnight in the fridge so I would have more time this morning. Also, I used Gimme Lean ‘sausage’ instead of the veggie bacon. The tofu was a little too vinegary for my tastes, but I may try making these again with less vinegar and maybe some more seasonings. All in all they were pretty good, though.

They sure looked like the real thing!

Lazy afternoon

poopiebitch — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:42:00 +0000

I went to another cake club meeting Tuesday night, this time accompanied by the lovely and talented Bianca (of Vegan Crunk). We got to play with my airbrush, which I only recently purchased a replacement compressor for. I bought the airbrush system about a year and a half ago, but after just a couple of months my compressor didn’t feel it could go on, and it jumped off my kitchen counter to an untimely demise.

I attempted to airbrush a fairy, but it turned out a bit… special needs. Bianca created a bunch of grapes and a rainbow, which were infinitely better than my broad-shouldered amputee fairy. We were going to bring the pictures home and put them on our fridges (or at very least take pictures and post them on our blogs), but they got thrown away without our consent. So, no pictures. I guess not everyone could appreciate the true artistic talent that went into them.

Also, my hands are still multi-colored.

I don’t have a lot to share in the way of food, but hopefully some more interesting meals are coming up soon (hint: I made my first seitan!). In the meantime, I’ll show you what I had for breakfast. It’s oatmeal made with soy milk instead of water, a mashed up banana and a spoonful of Dark Chocolate Dreams chocolate peanut butter, all mixed up together. So good.

Right now I’m at Quetzal, a little internet cafe in midtown. They serve coffee during the day, and alcohol at night. I think that’s the basic gist anyway – this is actually my first time here. It’s got a funky feel to it though, and the servers are super-nice. I’m sitting in one of the comfy chairs in the back, near the open double-doors. There is a nice breeze blowing through, giving the place a fresh and open feel – which is helped along by the tall vaulted ceiling and large sky light.

I ordered my latte at the counter and was told to go ahead and have a seat – they would bring it to me. I suppose it’s a bar-style tab system, encouraging people to drink as much as they would like before paying at the end. My drink came out and it was perfect. It’s not easy to steam soy properly – too hot and it tastes scorched, and soy foam is hard to achieve. This latte couldn’t have been better. A step up from my usual Starbucks, I have to say.

I only wish I lived closer to this place – and all the cool little places this city has to offer.

Lazy cheater food

poopiebitch — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:22:00 +0000

The last couple of days have been lazy food days, sorry.

Saturday I made what I consider to be a ‘cheater’ meal. It consists of Tofurky sausages, bell pepper and onion mix from the freezer, bottled bbq sauce and tinned pineapple chunks, all served over brown basmati rice. That’s right, no real cooking involved. If I were a good vegan I would have made my own sausages and chopped my own veggies.

Whatever, it was still good!

Things only went downhill from there. Yesterday I skipped breakfast and had rice pudding for lunch. What?! I know!

I took leftover brown basmati rice, added vanilla soy milk and a handful of golden raisins and cooked it until it was thickened. I then added a generous amount of cinnamon and a little maple syrup. I sprinkled chopped pecans on top for the finishing touch. Warm and comforting on a rainy day.

In keeping with the downhill spiral, I ate only roasted sweet potato for dinner. I peeled and chopped an enormous sweet potato, then coated it with a little olive oil, maple syrup, pureed ginger (I keep a jar of it in my fridge because I’m lazy) and salt and pepper before roasting.

Kind of a sad food day, I know, but it was good.

This morning I slept late, so pancakes were in order. I made plain ol’ whole wheat pancakes, but for some reason they turned out kind of thin. Oh well, they were tasty anyway.

Especially with some blueberry preserves spread on top!

Tacos!

poopiebitch — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:28:00 +0000

Saturday I met up with some people from Food Awareness (the local veggie society) – including Bianca from Vegan Crunk - at Java, Juice and Jazz for lunch. My oldest sister also came and brought her youngest son for the fantastic meal.

We had some awesome vegan soft tacos, along with chips and three dips – guacamole, salsa and vegan cheese dip. The tacos were amazing.

We were all so full, but no one could resist when the server came around and offered a dessert of crumbled vegan cookies topped with bananas, strawberries and chocolate mint sauce. Luckily my sister was there for me to share with, otherwise I might have had to eat it all myself (what a shame that would have been).

Not much interesting in the way of cooking lately. I’ve been eating a lot of sandwiches (I almost shed a tear when I ate the last of my mock tuna salad). For breakfast the last couple of days I’ve had soy yogurt with granola. This morning it was peach yogurt with apple blueberry granola – tasty!

The Brit and I will be going out of town later this week. We’re heading down to Fort Worth, TX to visit my grandparents. We’ll be leaving on Thursday (I think) and coming back probably Sunday or Monday. I’m going to make sure I get to visit Spiral Diner while I’m down there!

More cake porn and some other stuff

poopiebitch — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:23:00 +0000

I finally got around to uploading the pictures of the wedding cake I made on Saturday. The lighting was terrible so the picture isn’t the best. The cake isn’t so much my style, but it’s what the bride and groom wanted, and that’s what it’s all about anyway.

Red Velvet cake (meh) with Italian Meringue Buttercream (the anti-vegan icing), black fondant ‘ribbon’ around the base of each tier and crimson scrolls on the sides.

Yesterday my friend Ahnah and I went to lunch at Pita Wraps here in Memphis. I had never been there before, but let me tell you they had the best falafel I’ve had this side of the Atlantic. Actually, it was the only falafel I’ve had this side of the Atlantic, but it was damn good.

The owner was so nice and as soon as he heard we were vegan he started the falafel for us. Also in the pita was hummus, garlic paste, some kind of red sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and cucumber. Ahnah got jalapenos too, but I wasn’t feeling spicy yesterday. The finished product was HUGE, I had skipped breakfast and I was still only able to eat half of it.

Of course, like an idiot, I forgot my camera. No worries though, I will be back to take some pictures! After lunch we headed over to Wild Oats (it’s right by the wrap place) to do a little shopping. I bought two vegan cookies, but I didn’t get pictures of those either before they were gone… sorry!

I was excited to find a whole wheat baguette at Wild Oats, and this morning I got up early to make ‘Fronch Toast’ – a version of French Toast from Vegan with a Vengeance.

I also cooked some Smart Bacon. I was going to make my own tempeh bacon using Bianca’s recipe but I was too lazy forgot to start it last night.

It was definitely a delicious way to start my day.

Just oatmeal

poopiebitch — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 07:44:00 +0000

I have a birthday cake and a wedding cake due tomorrow, so I’m afraid there’s not much in the way of yummy food to share today, as I’ve spent whole the day in the kitchen without making a thing for myself

Well, that’s not entirely true… I did make breakfast. Just some oatmeal with currants, a mashed up banana, a dash of cinnamon and a splash of soy milk, along with a decaf soy cafe au lait type thing that I made up. It was good. I love oatmeal in the mornings (or the afternoons or evenings, for that matter).

The picture is with flash because it was still dark when I took it. Of course, with all the rain we’ve had lately, when is it not dark?

I have to get back to baking now… believe it or not, I actually enjoy baking in the middle of the night. It feels strangely familiar and comfortable to me. Weird, huh?
