Randomness is for lovers....

Kevin, my bff, just recently opened a burger joint and has included a home-made veggie burger as well as a portabello burger...I have donated a jar of veganaise...

The reason I bring this up is because it is pretty cool that they bake their own buns...sourdough and such...I snuck a sample of sourdough and messed around at home.

A whipped up some pesto ( basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, salt) and sauteed a few crimini mushrooms and added a touch of veganaise and slice tomato...HOT DAMN!!!!



and just because I am now relying on Gabriel's mini-digital camera...which does take amazing photos, but not like my baby...



Gabriel came home and had to get him some of that, but unfortunately, we had only half a tomato. Ah, the tomato....there aren't words for its gifts. I sauteed more mushrooms, red pepper, and onion and served it on some rosemary bread...again the pesto and a hit of veganaise for creaminess...





It felt good to use growing basil from the backyard...

Life is good with improv eating.

Korean Pancakes

I love me some Asian food and while veganizing isn't too challenging, I am thrilled to have come across The Asian Vegan Kitchen by Hema Parekh. I found it it at the library and purchased it right away. It covers comida de Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Korea. I have tried a few dishes from the Chinese section and enjoyed a few dishes. Can't find those photos.

Kevin, my bff makes some mean pancakes and I have put off making them because they are too heavy on my belly. Parekh's recipe is pretty good, but I have many ideas for variations...will get back on that. Gabriel's camera is fancier than mine- especially with his new lens,- but I am saving for something lovely... he did his magic on the photo, though...I can't take credit for that...

Vegetable Pancakes



I was too excited to wipe the edges of the dipping sauce bowl... it happens and something went wrong with re-sizing

and I am up for the VEGANMOFO challenge... along with some updates on San Antonio Activism...
