Bringing Up Baby  

Mom recieved a yellow padded envelope in the mail....and later I realized it was mine! My movie (bringing up baby) had arrived already!!!!!! Wooooooooooooo
So I baked Theresa some brownies, I came into work yesterday and she asked if I had baked something, because she hadn't eaten breakfast. She said she wanted brownies, so I baked "wolffie's chocolatey moist brownies" from la dolce vegan and covered them with chocolate glaze. They weren't bad, but the texture of the brownies was like raw french toast, eggy.
anywho, i watched bringing up baby (one of my favorites) and ate a few brownies......

vegan a go-go....chili....& gene kelly  

so hungy today. made chili when i came home from work (9-1/2 hours!) I made Sherri's black bean chili (like daunie did) except used pinto beans, and no green chilis...and used a green bell pepper. i liked it, but mine turned out very thick, like a dip. so i added more stock and water. it is addicting, i kept eating it out of the container once i put it in the fridge. next time i shall improve upon the recipe for my tastes (boca ground round...tomato sauce instead of paste....)
I also recieved "VEGAN a go-go" when mom came in..she retrieved it from the mailbox for me. i loves it so far. and of course they included "maureens oatmeal chocolate chip cookies"...seriously kids, the best cookie on the playground. must get back to gene kelly..singin in the rain.

faux eggs bennie, perhaps?  

had a lovely day at ye olde orchard. sprayed theresa with the hose and almost made her fall. good gosh. picked up some free glazed apple cookies for mandy, taylor, and adree! And 2 caramel apples for mandy & taylor to share, and one for adree. can't wait until saturday, the hearntut festival with adree, mandy, and taylor too!
I had a bit of endangered species chocolate today at work, sarah gave me 2 bars of dark chocolate. i ate about 4 or 5 pieces of the dark and then flew through that last tote of honey crisp apples.
no matter, onto dinner! fixed up a lovely skillet of scrambled tofu (which i never thought i would like, it seemed that every vegan cookbook had a different recipe for scrambled tofu. but daunie and i made it topped with nutritional yeast sauce and it was magnificent) so i made that with tomatoes and asparagus, put it on a toasted english muffin and topped it with a spoonful of nutritional yeast sauce from la dolce vegan.
Here is the "cheese" sauce recipe...great on wheat noodles as well!
Wolffie's Nutritonal yeast sauce.
1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes, 2 tbsp. flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 c water, 1-1/2 tsp tamari, 1-1/2 tsp dijon mustard
Whisk all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until it begins to thicken, whisk and heat until desired thickness. Remove from heat and let it thicken even more. Then serve on noodles, or on a burrito, or on scrambled tofu...to make a sort of vegan eggs benedict.
