These days I'm eating my cornflakes with soy milk and no honey, but it tastes the same and takes the same effort. Between that and rootbeer/rice cream floats I had a great weekend. :)
Monday night was another Jeff night in the kitchen. He chose vegetarian corndogs. I thought he and I agreed that those smelly semi-food products were not to be cooked unless I was out of the apartment, but at least he opened the patio door while they microwaved.
Last night I made an entirely too soggy baked veggie and seitan dish with quinoa. That seitan I made for gyros found a home in this dish too, but the spongey texture just didn't work for me and held more moisture than I thought. I wanted my veggies to roast in wet heat, but the ingredients (plus a splash of veggie stock) made for more of a bath than a sauna.
On the bright side though, all of the other veggies, herbs, and spices (I threw in a lot of odd things, starting with saffron, which I think was the kicker) made the carrots almost pretty tasty. For a carrot-hater such as myself that was an accomplishment. I'm getting excited to get some good fresh carrots at the Farmer's Market this summer and see if I can cultivate a taste for them.
And finally, tonight was another yellow curry. Tofu, onion, celery, mushrooms, chickpeas and tomatoes, over brown rice. Not bad, although it could have used more spice. We'll see how the flavors develop by tomorrow when I have leftovers for lunch.
