I've tried a few more recipes from the site 'Depression Cooking.'
For dinner the other night I made Clara's vegetable couscous. It was pretty good but sorely lacking for some spices. I think if I made it with some fresh coriander and parsley it would have been perfect. I really liked the radish, which I had never cooked before. It gave the dish an old fashioned taste, somehow. Like something my Baba would have cooked.
That night I also served a salad of dark greens with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, inspired by Clara's dandelion leaf salad. It was really satisfying because I'd been craving it since I watched the video.
Last night I tried making baked apples again. This time I changed the recipe by adding nutmeg and ginger to the mix of cinnamon and sugar, and threw a few chocolate chips in there. Seriously recommend trying this. Just core the apples, plug the bottom with margarine, fill with the sugar and spice mix, plug the top with margarine (you don't need a lot), and bake at 400 in a pan with water at the bottom (so they don't burn) for 35-40 minutes.
I'm currently drinking coffee with the left over sugar/spice mix in it.
Tonight for dinner I tried yet another of Clara's recipes: Eggplant Parmesan (with Parmesan flavoured soy cheese.) This is a pretty greasy recipe but I enjoyed it, especially since I added chopped garlic to the frying oil. Next time I cook eggplant (this was my first time) I'll look fora recipe with less oil, delicious though it was. Served with couscous and grilled Portabello mushrooms.
Some dresses that I ordered off of www.modcloth.com arrived today. A picture of one of them is above.
Big news: Aaron and I are visiting Scotland next week as a post-graduation trip. I'll let you know how we do finding vegan cuisine there once we get back. I'm flexable and will go back to veganism when we get home, if need be. Aaron doesn't cheat however, so I'm hoping we're able to feed him well. We'll be bringing a lot of trail mix and cliff bars with us.
