Hi everyone! Today’s “Elementary, My Dear Vegan” is from S2E7 (“The Marchioness”). Mycroft, the brother of Sherlock Holmes, requests that they take on a case for his ex-fiancee. Later, Holmes finds Mycroft cooking in the kitchen.
Mycroft: I thought I’d make myself useful. I know you and Joan rarely sit down for a meal.
Holmes: That’s by design. A lingering dinner, especially in the midst of a case, is an indulgence.
Mycroft: You think conversation is an indulgence?
Holmes: The meal itself is an indulgence. Conversation is an annoyance within an indulgence.
Holmes then opens the fridge, takes out some cheese sticks, and starts eating one as he leaves the room, having decided that it would be “harmless enough” for his brother to prepare dinner. In the next scene, Watson and Mycroft are enjoying dinner while Holmes continues working in the other room.
Watson: This is the best risotto I’ve ever had. Why are you hiring a chef? You should do it.
Mycroft: Owning restaurants is a lot more fun.
Holmes: (from the other room) He means less work.
Mycroft: (to Holmes) Yes, I suppose you could say that. (to Watson) I don’t quite believe I’m gonna say this to a grown man. (to Holmes) Your food’s getting cold.
(Holmes comes to stand at his place at the table and eats a single forkful of risotto.)
Last night I made the saffron-scented risotto alla Milanese from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen, and it was amazing! I’m definitely going to have to make this again soon! I also tried the Daiya mozzarella cheese sticks (I found them at Wegmans), and they were pretty good!
P.S. Phoenixville VegFest is today!
Here’s a silly spinny Daisy…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Today is the first day of my Vegan MoFo theme “Elementary, My Dear Vegan.” Holmes and Watson very rarely cook for themselves; when they do, it’s usually very simple (and largely vegetarian) meals. They also order a lot of takeout, as noted at the end of S1E2 (“While You Were Sleeping”) when Watson brings in dinner…
Holmes: More malodorous takeout. How wonderful. What is this, five nights in a row?
Watson: It’s Mediterranean. I hope you like garlic.
Since no specific dishes were mentioned, I flipped to the garlic listing in the index of The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen by Donna Klein, and decided to make the spaghettini with walnut-garlic sauce. It was a very simple recipe (and I made it even simpler by not toasting the walnuts and using dried parsley instead of fresh). I served it with some Aldi vegan meatballs, and it was quite tasty…
Here’s Rogue during the serious business of kneading me before settling in for cuddles…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Today's Vegan MoFo prompt is "Fancy," so I thought I'd try making an appetizer from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen. The garlic-herb pita toasts were easy and super quick to make; they were a tasty accompaniment to some leftover scalloped potatoes.
Here's my Inktober sketch; pay no attention to the randomly missing eighth piece of pita lol!
And here's Daisy in the cat tower tonight...
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! The new recipe I tried this week was the orzo pilaf (with peas, onions, and roasted red peppers) from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen by Donna Klein. It was really good & so easy to make; Zach enjoyed it, too. I already made it a second time this week; I know it won't be long before I return to this recipe yet again!
Also, we were in the area after visiting a friend on Sunday, so we stopped at Vegan Treats on the way home, and I got this cute brownie chunk cheesecake. (I always try to pick something new that I haven't tried before.) It was quite tasty!
Here's a sleepy Cringer...
Peace. :)
