A quicker recap then the explanation of what happened to the Apollo 11 tapes...

Haven't really been up to much the last week the heat is making us wiggle slower then a snail. Anywho here some recent scores and some things i cant wait to cook with. Once they are used pictures and recipes will follow!

(I already have a meal in mind for these noodles that i cannot wait to make.)

DING!

My latest lazy score i.e found on ebay:

It even still has a loud ding so i can cook and clean like a good domesticated women should. Or chase my boo down the street with a rolling pin and be able to make it back in time to not burn the pizza.

Todays soundtrack: ELECTRIC WIZARD IN MY HEAD.

Sugar, spice, and a little bit of nice...

I'll admit every once in awhile I’m a cheater and will use some sort of premade mix to make a surprise treat for my sweetie.

This times victim of quickness was oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. To salvage these from ending up as a subpar treat I made some alterations:
Use salt free margarine instead of butter chopped and made gooey in the oven
1/4 cup peanut butter chips
1/4 cup hazelnut
After mixing with a wooden spoon top each cookie with a dash of cinnamon
And cook for about a minute after the directions say. They are going to look a bit dark but after cooling for a while on a rack they are the perfect golden brown.


Top it off by throwing some in a bag for your hard working Bo.

Shot through the heart...

A quick wishlist for the new kitchen:

Do you know the biscuits man? (a weekend recap)

Here's a few pictures of the Saturday morning breakfast i made. Included is: Tofu scramble with mushroom/onion/garlic, White bean and sausage sage gravy and home made flour biscuits.

We were both also very proud to join the clean plates club:

For dinner Saturday my boyfriend saved the day with some spinach linguine and pasta sauce which i added garlic/broccoli/olives/carrot too.

Some obvious nice weather thrifting and antiquing took place but the only real scores were this hen candy dish and a pendleton.

Stay tuned for a Oatmeal chocolate/peanut butter chip and hazelnut cookie recipe.

Today's soundtrack: Black Sabbath - Greatest Hits 1970-1978

A teaser for your jelly belly (Or cooking from yesteryear)

This is my first vegan thanksgiving feast i made about 5 or 6 years ago included is rum!, oreo cookie and strawberry cream pie, tofurkey, mashed potatos, stuffing, green peans and gravy.

A vegan portabella burger with chedder cheese, tomato, spinach and pepper with a side of garlic rosemary fries.

Vegan gluten-free blueberry hazlenut tea muffins.

New Day Rising

So i thought I'd start this silly little thing to sort of chronicle the new misadventures of looking for furniture, decorating and cooking me and my boyfriend get into now that we are moving in together in the fall.

I guess you could consider this a cooking/design blog. Which I'll post my weirds recipes that are always vegetarian but occasionally vegan and/or gluten-free and of course all the interesting things we find at thrift stores, on eBay, and even in the trash (gotta start somewhere right?)

Tonight's entry's will be Pesto with sun dried tomato pizza and Oatmeal chocolate/peanut butter chip cookies: pics and ingredients after the baking begins.
