Starting with artichoke-spinach hummus, which is quite yummy.
It's also rehearsal night for the rock band, and we have developed a tradition of going out for ice cream after practice.

I sucessfully managed to turn TVP into food for the first time, which is kinda lame on account of having been vegan for pushing half a decade now.

10. Textured vegetable protein |
|
I usually make them with boca crumbles, which cost more money but are more convenient.

29. OK. We use soy crumbles a lot. |
|
For chili and spaghetti sauce and whatnot. Does it taste like actual sloppy joes? Care to post your recipe?

15. I got some of that free when I went up to Farm Sanctuary |
|
I guess Fantastic donated some inventory that was getting a bit close to expiration, because they had a big table of boxes of sloppy joe mix and onion dip packets they were giving away to visitors. Eating that was what made me think I could probably make some myself.

Lots of tomato sauce and spices to make it seem like actual food.

I've noticed the leftovers are better, since they soak up the sauce flavor in the fridge overnight.

20. Did you start with dry TVP and soak it? |
|
I put spices in the water so they absorb flavor right from the start; it makes a noticable difference.
Hmmm...now I'm gettin' hungry for sloppy joes!

22. Yeah, but it was still a little bland when I made it. |
|
I think because I was out of garlic. Normally I'd put a little garlic in there, and food tastes funny without it. I got some at the store today.

24. I'm sure that it's like chowder - always better the second day. |
|
There are some New Englanders who will not eat chowder the day it's made.
(By the way, clams are not necessary; corn chowder is an excellent meal.)

30. We ate a lot of it when I was a kid. It wasn't like my parents could |

afford clams; and then there was my shellfish allergy as well.
And yes; Yukon Golds are great for pretty much any use.

Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 07:25 PM by haruka3_2000
hence the "homemade" instead of homemade.
All of the food there is really good. If you're ever in Denville, NJ for some odd reason, I recommend a little Italian restaurant called "Attilio's Kitchen." Joe Pesci even eats there (his cousin owns it).

A gourmet grocery store down the street was holding classes recently on making your own mozzarella. I've been intrigued by that idea - might have to learn it.
Thanks for the restaurant recommendation!
