Yesterday was rainy & dark. I traveled to bfoods and the curidrome under my bubble umbrella. bought some japanese orange fizz puccho candy & went home to find candles burning and ramones playing. daun and chris were back from camping and we decided to do a pizza night again! new dough recipe and krogering....3 pizzas later and we were real-axin' on the couch watching Two Fat Ladies in Jamaica. Daun and Chris went to see Public Enemies and I watched Picnic at Hanging Rock. We had late night garlic chunk breadsticks. This morning I started the biscuits and got daunie up to the sound of the kitchenaid. We had biscuits, gravy, and gimme lean faux sausage patttties. Daun and I worked off the sausage thighs at the Y after brunch.

*my pizza= ragu mushroom + pepper sauce, nutritional yeast cheez sauce, red pepper, tomato, green and black olives, avocado, spinach, chili powder, cajun seasoning, and spike seasoning.

Mandy came for the weekend! We walked our little legs off and played in a fountain. we spotted a black winged, green bodied dragonfly next to a woodsy creek. we sat at the coffee shop and ate vegan peanut butter-chocolate chip bars. the chocolate chips on top were goo because the shop was warm. we shared a berry smoothie. we watched vicky cristina barcelona & thelma and louise.
I successfully re-created daun's famous biscuit recipe for Monday morning biscuits! And we had a nice strawberry, frozen banana salad.
I got my hair cut today and bought a vintage $2 dress at cactus flower.
Daun & Chris had another Tuesdate and I had a date in bed with Rocky and some vegan hash. (gimme lean, potatoes, tofu)
We baked vctotw chocolate cupcakes for Benny's Mommy with nutella frosting (unvegan= butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, nutella, heavy cream) heavenly smell.

Today was another lovely day and I wanted to go to Brown Co again, but I stayed home and baked spelt biscuits from Babycakes NYC bakery.
I layed outside on a towel and finished writing my second silent movie (in pictures) and tried to fall asleep.
I drove over to Mandy's and we took "urban iris" photos....158! Taylor & I swam in the pond! We went inside and snacked on a true delicacy of Robin's, fresh cut oranges slathered in Hunter's honey. Wow. Mmm. Yum.
We watched Stand by Me and I drove home and tomorrow's food plans are more banana chocolate chimp bread loaves and maybe pumpkin cinnamon rolls all for the boys.

Copied a recipe at Daunie's for 'oat flour biscuits', out of her vegetarian times cookbook. Modified the recipe today and baked little flat buckwheat biscuits. They looked like flat little scones. They weren't fluffy like biscuits, but crunchy around the edges and cracker-like. But they were really really tasty!

little buckwheat biscuits.
1-1/3 c. whole wheat pastry flour
2/3 c. buckwheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sea salt
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. plain soymilk (about 1/2 c. more or less)

mix together dry. add oil and enough soymilk to make a soft dough.
knead the dough and roll out and cut with circles (or fun cookie cutters)
Bake at 450 degrees for about 10-15 mins. until they are browned slightly on the edges and on the bottom.
Serve warm with earth balance spread.

These cormeal biscuits were not that great. They were veganized from a martha stewart recipe card of cornmeal biscuits. a bit of a weird aftertaste. but the beans were good, too much salt though. but here is a photo!
