some forgotten foods November 19, 2007

in all the hubbub of pie and things, i forgot to post some pictures of some recent deliciousness.
for breakfast one morning, tempeh bacon from vwav and rosemary potatoes…maple syrup drizzled over the tempeh, and blasphemous ketchup on the potatoes (sorry, it’s just so good!):
pistachio coconut cardamom cookies from extraveganza!. i’m glad i picked this book up again. there is so much in it that i want to make and devour. this were very popular, light and crispy, too.
i made the chickpeas romescu from v*con, but didn’t have any white rice for also making saffron garlic rice, so i just made brown rice to go with it. isa and terry have made me LOVE fire roasted tomatoes. they make such a difference in recipes, and coupled here with the roasted red peppers: just perfect. definitely going to make this dish again, as i’ve been kind of tofu’d, tempeh’d, and seitan’d out lately. i also got on a grilled asparagus kick, marinating them in olive oil, balsamic, and lemon zest, then sprinkling some salt and pepper on top. in reality i also had FOUR half-pieces of toast, but i thought it might look a bit overcrowded for this picture:
there is nothing blasphemous about ketchup, unless you are talking about catsup, but that’s entirely different! ketchup is the sauce of the gods!
That all looks so good! Except, of course, the potatoes slathered in ketchup. Everyone good and right knows that ketchup belongs firmly and generously on the side of the potatoes.
AK! I love visiting your website whenever I get a free moment! Your cooking is awesome. I wish I was there to enjoy it once in awhile! I miss you and your kind, vegan heart. Drop me a line sometime. Maybe I’ll see you when I visit Dec. 6-7, if I’m lucky!
joni- saying/writing catsup, or is there an actual difference? i’ve always, always been a ketchup girl, so i know no other way! makes me want to look it up though.
trina- usually i am a side-dipper, but i was too hungry (and thus lazy) this time around.
jackie- you’re coming to mpls? oh, you are greatly missed and i would LOVE to see you, any time, snow or shine! let’s definitely plan on it.
Hee hee- I will never not put ketchup on my potatoes- you are so right, it’s irresistible!
