6th-

Today was a divide and conquer sort of day. I tackled things in the kitchen while boo sanded one of the basement walls.

I made one tester batch of the black bean burgers from Veganomicon. I keep reading they are the tops, but pookie is pretty picky about his veggie burgers (fingers crossed!). I also made a couple recipes from La dolce vegan, namely a double batch of the worchestershire (it's a word you never know when to end, amirite?) sauce, a quadruple batch of her seitan, and the sweedish rye bread. I had four apples that I needed to use up and little inspiration, so I made a double batch of hearty steel cut oats to freeze.

The best vegan mac n cheese should be named something else, lol. It was tasty with my veggies tossed in it, but I made a point of calling it pasta with tofu sauce (no, I am not very creative). Can't have boo thinking that was the best I could do mac n cheese wise! I liked the sauce and made up a batch for the freezer (split into 1c portions). I cut the oil, added extra tofu, cut the nooch, and so my (count) will be different from the linked recipe.

Edited to add that the boo is very much a fan of the veganomicon black bean burgers, saying "I like them as well as the Chickpea burgers." - High praise indeed.
