It’s really shameful that it’s been almost a week since I updated. Oops. I’ve been busy with lots of things though – not the least of which is cycling! The Brit and I dusted off our bikes (actually, he bought a new one and we dusted off mine, but whatever), and have been trying to get in as much cycling as possible. So far this month I’ve done 43 miles – my goal is 100 miles in May.
To help me keep up with my goal, I’ve put together a Cycle Progress Chart (some of you might have already seen it – it’s over there —>). If you notice it hasn’t budged in a few days, please feel free to give me a proverbial kick in the arse to get going again!
In other news, this last weekend Bianca of Vegan Crunk and I put together an awesome party. We called it the Prodigious Vegan Sushi-Palooza Madness Extravaganza. It totally lived up to its name. I haven’t uploaded any of my photos yet (not sure if I even have any worth posting), but go check out Bianca’s post about it – trust me, you won’t regret it.
I promise not to leave you without pictures of food! First, check out the pizza I made last week from some extra dough I had frozen:
Check out those crust bubbles.
The whole thing was covered in roasted red pepper sauce and onions, which is all The Brit wanted on his half (crazy man). I then added some tofu ricotta, black olives and arugula to my half, making it far superior.
Then I made a couple of testers for Kelly and Garrick’s Vegan Cookie Book (it’s in its final stages of testing! woo!). I made Rice Crispy Treats and Flapjacks.
No special vegan marshmallows or marshmallow creme required.
No, not pancakes... proper oat flapjack like they eat in the UK.
Both of these recipe were awesome, just like all the other recipes in their book!
Lastly, I’ve been helping a friend plan and purchase items for a joint birthday party for her daughter and nephew this weekend. We’re making a ‘Pink Princess Doll’ cake and a ‘Lightning McQueen’ cake (from the movie Cars). Did I mention there are 130 people invited to this party? Yeah. On the plus side, she wants to make all of the cake vegan even though no one in attendance (including her) is vegan! Awesome, yes?
