Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well! I took a hike in Green Lane with my family on Father’s Day; we wore masks and kept our distance. There was a lot of natural beauty…
As well as some cheerful human-made art that we found along one of the trails…
After the hike, we went to Rita’s for water ice; I got watermelon!
This week, I made more fettuccine alfredo, served with Wegmans “Don’t be Chicken” vegan chicken…
I got a lot of leftovers out of the big batch that I made; I started mixing in Wegmans “Don’t be Piggy” sausage patties when I ran out of the chicken…
I also tried this jerky in a pepperoni and cheese bagel sandwich, served with tater tots and broccoli; it was good!
Avocado toasted bagel with everything seasoning…
And takeout from SuTao Cafe! I got vegetable lo mein and fried tofu, which came with a nice dipping sauce…
And Zach got the spicy Sichuan style tofu with white rice…
In garden news, I started harvesting some snow peas, as well as my first zucchini!
And here’s Rogue lounging and being a cutie up in the cat tower…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! A couple simple but delicious meals I’ve had the rest of this week include this vegetable quinoa soup (with crackers)…
And more spicy peanut sauce with rice, baked tofu, and broccoli!
Here’s a sketch I did on Tuesday…
And Daisy stretching to show off her cute little belly!
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Inspired by the awesome bowls that Hillary always makes, I made spicy peanut sauce to top some rice, baked tofu, and broccoli; it was delicious!
Zach found these at Wegmans and got them for me; they were so good, like minty Mounds bars! I’ve already finished them off, lol!
I made this pepperoni and cheese sandwich, which I had with some cauliflower tater tots…
And I finally tried the Nada Moo birthday cake ice cream, which was a really fun flavor!
On Tuesday afternoon, I cleared out this section of broken bricks, weeds, and grass…
And planted a second garden – corn, more cucumbers, and radishes!
Here’s a sleepy Cringer…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Leela’s been doing well this week – and being super cute like always! It was cool enough last Friday night that she finally hung out on her warm white blanket; she’d avoided it all summer, haha!
On Saturday, I went down to Bridge Street and had to take a picture of this sign outside Reads & Company, complete with a photobomb by Rose of Diving Cat Studio Gallery…
She was doing a walkabout and decided to stop in at the bookstore, so I went in with her, and picked out a new book!
Some of my improved green bean casserole; I added penne, nutritional yeast, and some salt…
Leela being a goof…
A photo of the foundry building…
Some fun finds that were on sale at Kimberton Whole Foods – I’m really excited to try the Plant Snacks crackers (I’ve heard such good things about them!), the pizza I’ve had before and enjoyed, and the cream cheese I grabbed for Zach…
And they had these Hippeas snack packs for Halloween, so I figured that would be a nice addition to the candy bowls!
On Tuesday, I made the salad with tofu, rice, and spicy peanut sauce from My cat loves Daiya! (minus the cabbage), and it was so good!
I also got some treats from Vegan Essentials! I’m so excited to try the Vegan Dude chips (I first saw them on Kittens Gone Lentil), and the Primal Strips Thai Peanut jerky is so good but I haven’t seen it at Kimberton for a while so I decided to stock up...
And finally, a sleepy Leela from last night…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Today’s “Elementary, My Dear Vegan” is from S2E2 (“Solve for X”). Coming back from coffee with the son of the patient who died under her care when she was a surgeon, Watson finds Holmes in the kitchen making eggs (sunny side up) on toast. He offers her some, but she declines. For my eggs on toast, I used this recipe from One Green Planet, minus the avocado because mine had sadly gone bad. But even without the avocado, this was a really fun and tasty lunch!
Here’s Cringer hanging out on the blue chair in the kitchen…
Bonus quote from the episode:
Holmes: I’m an expert on poisons, Watson. I know virtually everything there is to know about them. But I’ve come to learn over the last few years that there is nothing on this planet quite so toxic as guilt.
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! The food for today’s “Elementary, My Dear Vegan” is one that Holmes seems to make for himself fairly regularly; like yesterday’s, this is from S1E4 (“The Rat Race”)…
(doorbell rings and Holmes answers the door; Fowkes enters)
Fowkes: I thought I’d bring you your check personally. (brushes past Holmes and into next room) Also, we need to talk.
Holmes: Do we? (closes door and follows Fowkes, then holds out bowl he’s eating from) Eggs? I’m sure I could find another fork.
Fowkes: I’m not hungry. I came here to end this.
To make the scrambled “eggs,” I simplified my favorite scrambled tofu recipe (by Isa Chandra Moskowitz) by leaving out the cumin, thyme, garlic, and pepper; crumbling the tofu more; and not cooking the tofu for as long. It turned out delicious, though I did miss the usual spices, haha!
Bonus quote from the episode:
Watson: (to Holmes) I’m sorry, are you trying to take credit for the fact that I saved your life? And so soon after you promoted me to bodyguard…
Here’s a cute sleepy Daisy…
Peace. :)
