the pizza thing

it's fun until you have to preheat the oven for 500 degrees! and then you've realized the COOKIE SHEETS NEVER MADE IT EITHER! and then you've got pizza half stuck and burnt to the top rack and you need two spatulas and four hands to get it out of the oven and then go back to do the same thing, but DEEPER IN THE OVEN so that when the pizza sticks this time, you can close the oven door.

UGH.

Totally worth it though. I'm dead serious.



Also note the vegan blue cheese dressing next to the buffalo chicken pizza. It's:
1/2 cup veganaise
1 tsp tahini
the juice of 2 lemon slices (i'm talking the size of the garnish on your cocktail)
a splash of white vinegar
garlic powder to taste.

you can crumble a bit of tofu for texture, but i think it's silly. unless someone's going to wake up early and make tofu scramble for you with the left overs and bring it to you in bed. otherwise, skip it. and you're not spoiled enough.

You're right. It has been way too long since I've posted, but it's because I've been very busy cooking. I've embarked on the terribly romantic practice of soaking one's own beans. and then cooking them. but before cooking, falling in love with that floral smell of pre-cooked beans.

It makes me hate all canned goods. It also helped me not notice that a can opener never made it here during the move. I think we had three before we left. Obviously, I'm great at packing things. and keeping track of my belongings.

those are a black bean burrito stuffed with garlic mashed potato and curried broccoli.

I also won "best girlfriend ever" award that evening upon leaving this for the bunny on the stove:


I overloaded on pizza this evening with jon. Buffalo fake-chicken pizza and a vegetable pizza with tomato, broccoli, and spinach. Holy fuck. Follow your heart cheese on both.


Everyone gets that everything I do is vegan, right?
