<span style="font-size: small;">I
received an email from <a href="http://www.humaneresearch.org.au/">Humane
Research Australia</a>, asking for help on an issue regarding innocent lambs being
sent to slaughter, after being subject to university testing. I have copy and
pasted the information below - we need as much support as possible to save
these poor lambs!! It’s outrageous that even with the offer from Edgar’s Mission;
the university is still planning on shipping these lambs off to the abattoir.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So
please write an email to the people listed – I did, it took me 2 minutes!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Background</b><b><br />
</b><br />
LaTrobe University students have been using lambs in a study to determine the
effect of different feeds on wool growth. (Animal Nutrition AGR2AN)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Humane Research Australia has concern for the
wellbeing of these animals. We have been informed that the lambs are kept
indoors with limited space and on grated floors. It appears from the photos
that one lamb is biting on the pen bar suggesting they are displaying
stereotypic behaviour. Such housing, together with handling procedures, including
weighing and ultrasound measurement of weight gain, is likely to have caused
distress to these animals and it would be highly questionable whether any
potential benefit from this research will have outweighed the harm caused.</span></div>

<br />
The lambs are due to be sent to slaughter any day now, so time is fleeting.
Edgar's Mission have volunteered to adopt the lambs and pay for transport, but
this is not being received well by the university as they are still considering
sending them to an abattoir for slaughter.<br />
<br />
"We
asked nicely, we organised everything, we wrote petitions, we argued at
meetings - but this wasn't good enough for La Trobe! There is NO reason why
these animals should not be given a home at Edgar's Mission, or indeed any of
the MANY places that volunteered homes to these sheep.<br />
<br />
And even after all our reasonable arguments, the University still refuses to
even improve the experimental conditions for future years! This is appalling
and insulting coming from a University that 'cares for animal welfare' and
'respects the views of students'. Come one and all - help us tell the
University that we MUST be taken seriously!" - Allison Drinkwater, NAPS
executive.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I received an email with good news this morning! Looks like the email campaign and protesting worked! So thank you if you emailed, passed on the details etc - we can make a change!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Further to our recent emails calling on assistance to save lambs used in LaTrobe University research, the
university has listened to your concerns and have agreed to provide the
lambs to one of three parties who have expreseed interest in taking
them.<br /><br />Whilst we do not know who they are at this stage, the university has
stated they have "made inquiries to ensure that the three offers it
received are from credible agents, and that none of them intends killing
the lambs or sending them to slaughter."<br /><br />Thank you to everyone who has contacted the uni to express their
concern, but most importantly thank you to Allison Drinkwater who
alerted us to the problem and for fighting to save their lives.

<span style="font-size: small;">Wow. Last night I was one of the lucky few who secured
tickets to see P!nk at an exclusive one off gig at The Forum last night (thanks
to the lovely Litha). I will post more details next week, but we had such a
blast!! I took my gorgeous friend Madi with me, and we rocked out. A lot of
people are not fans of P!nk (L-whack is one of them!) but she really is a true
entertainer, and puts on an amazing show – she’s awesome!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 30. A lot of people say itis

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So one of my requests for my family birthday celebration
(which we’re having tonight) was a vegan birthday cake! My mum was happy to
bake one, but she’s been busy with clients lately so I asked for a <a href="http://www.misterniceguy.com.au/">Mister Nice Guy</a> cake! So we’re
going to enjoy a ‘Betty White’ cake for dessert tonight (<u>not</u> Betty
Crocker as my mum called it when she was double checking what I wanted… haha!).
I ummed and ahhed over which flavour to get.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A few weeks ago, they posted a picture of one of their cakes
on <s>Stalkbook</s> Facebook, and I am sharing the love. Behold the <span class="hascaption">Double layer Berry Boom cake</span>!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Normally on a Friday, I have started the tradition of
#FoodPornFriday. But today I’ve decided not to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This week in Melbourne, there has been a disturbing and
chilling case of a young woman who mysteriously disappeared off a busy street
(less than 700m from home). Sadly, we woke to the news this morning that her
body was found overnight, and that a man has been arrested and charged with her
abduction, rape and murder.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For me, the thing that hit hard was that it was so close. The
innocent victim, Jill, was a 29 year old with her whole life ahead of her. She
was going home after a few drinks with friends and colleagues, and had probably done that walk
countless times before. She refused an offer from a friend to walk her home
because she thought she was safe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When the Police released the CCTV footage of her final
sighting (a brief interaction with her now confirmed killer), it was chilling
and upsetting to see. She was clearly uncomfortable being stopped by this man,
and unsure of what to do, she did what most of us has done at one time or
another – called her brother, tried to look busy, and when she thought she was
ok, she kept on walking.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The agony and pain that her family and friends have gone
through this week, not knowing where she was, dealing with the media intrusion –
and now the unimaginable horror to discover that she was so brutally violated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Now that Jill has been found, her family can begin the grief
process. There is closure to some degree, but so many questions remain
unanswered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It’s a reminder to us all that we need to be aware of
ourselves and our surrounds at all times, that sadly there are antisocial
people out there with no respect for others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">May Jill now rest in peace; my thoughts are with her family
and friends.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Prior to becoming vegan, I didn’t really eat much
cheesecake. I had a cheese allergy, but I would occasionally indulge in a piece
on a special occasion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My mum used to make cheesecake’s for the local café, who
would serve them and sell them (we’re talking a looooong time ago, before
food/hygiene laws changed!) so I knew she likes cheesecake (and she was well
known for making yummy ones!). So with her birthday approaching, I started
looking into what to make her for the celebration!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I knew I wanted to make her a vegan cake (that was a no
brainer!) but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go safe vegan (easy chocolate cake)
or ‘scary’ vegan (cheesecake).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I settled on scary vegan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">**cue scary music**</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided to make Vegie Head’s Better than Reece’s Peanut
Butter ‘Cheesecake’ – knowing it was a VH recipe, I was in safe hands and it
was less scary.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Getting the ingredients proved to be a bit more of a
nightmare than I thought! I already had most of them, but I needed some Tofutti
cream cheese, vegan biscuits, more agave syrup and silken tofu
(ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I went to 3 supermarkets to get the 4 ingredients!! By the
time I got to the last supermarket, I was ready to have a small breakdown. But
I guess if these places are sold out, it means there are people out there
buying vegan products, so that’s a win!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I set out making the cheesecake, making one helluva mess
along the way!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I’m not going to post the recipe, because you can find it in
<a href="http://www.vegiehead.com/e-book.html">Vegie Heads e-book</a>, a
genuine bargain at only $7 for almost 30 delicious recipes!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I brought the cheesecake out of the fridge, stuck a candle
in it, we all sang happy birthday then served it up. At this point, no one was any
the wiser. I waited until everyone had enjoyed a mouthful, before I gleefully
announced – it’s made of tofu!!! L-whack looked a little freaked out initially,
but then dug back into his piece (we’re both very sceptical of tofu)!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">This ‘cheesecake’ is so rich, creamy and delectable – and oh
so easy. You could even just serve the filling as a mousse or something.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Thank you Miss Vegie Head for your inspiring, delicious and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Preheat
the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop tomatoes
and place in a bowl and mix with olive oil, vinegar, and season with salt and

and reduce heat to 350F.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 3pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 cup

<span style="font-size: small;">Method</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Blend
everything (except the chips) very well in a food processor (NOT a blender).
Blend until it’s super smooth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mix in
chips, and pour into a pan. (I used a 10-inch spring form pan, but you can use
a smaller pan if you want a really deep-dish pie.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cook at
350F for 35 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes before removing from the
pan.</span></div>

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned my love for spaghetti. I
adore the stuff. But I have to admit something. I mainly use bottled sauce.</div>

**Hangs head in shame**</div>

I know, I know. Bottled sauce is high in oil, sodium and fat
and is generally really not good for you… But I’m a sauce snob, and I had found
a delicious authentic pasta sauce* that I’ve been loyal to for the past 5 or so
years. And it’s so convenient.</div>

Well I decided last night that I had all the ingredients to
make my own pasta sauce, so away I went. And dang it, it is delicious!! I'm hanging out to have some tonight for my dinner. GET IN MAH BELLY!!</div>

boil, then reduce to a simmer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
Simmer sauce for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid
sauce sticking on the bottom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
About 5 minutes before the end, stir through the torn basil
and season with salt & pepper as needed.</div>

I also added some wilted kale, and also half a cup of cannellini
& kidney beans are they all needed to be used.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After all these years, September 11 is still so raw. No
matter how many times I’ve seen that footage of the plane flying into the
building, it makes my blood run cold, and my stomach sink.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I remember mum popping into my bedroom, shortly after I’d
gone to bed, telling me a plane had hit a building in New York. I pictured a
little light plane having clipped the edge or something. Confused, I watched
some footage and thought it was a tragic accident. Five minutes later, we
watched as the second plane horrifically slammed into the second tower. The
next 3-4 hours were a blur, but I do recall sitting on the edge of the couch,
stunned, terrified, shocked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was near the end of year 12 that year, and I remember
waking up and thinking it was some crazy, bad dream but listening to the radio
and seeing the morning news cemented it in as reality. Walking into school that
morning, there was a strange sober quiet, everyone walking around in a state of
shock and disbelief.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Today, go tell those around you that you love them. Give
them a hug, bake them a cake, make their bed, pick a flower – do something to
let them know you care.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Wow,
the silly season is not far off now. And that’s scary. For those in Melbourne,
you know it’s the start of the silly season when we ramp up for the grand
final! After that is the Spring Racing Carnival, then Christmas, New Years,
Easter…… woah, I gotta lie down and enjoy some food porn.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Being
Italian, I go weak at the knees for spaghetti. When I was there (many, many
years ago) I would have spaghetti at least once per day, and more often, twice!
And I still can’t get enough of it. But I’m a little more restrained now with
how often I have it - unless I go to Italy, then it’s going to be a bang-up
pasta fest!!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Quinoa
is delicious. As are berries. I’m not a fan of watermelon; it’s a bit dull and
tasteless. But I cannot wait til the weather warms up a little (and the fresh
fruit becomes available!) to make this tasty looking salad.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Meanwhile,
prepare the fruit and baby greens.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When the
quinoa has cooled, drizzle it with the extra virgin olive oil and toss well to
coat, fluffing with a fork to separate the grains. Add the fresh squeezed lime
juice and toss again. Season with cracked pepper, to taste. Taste test. Add
more olive oil or lime as needed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Add the
blueberries to the quinoa, and toss lightly. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 large cloves garlic, peeled & minced</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 cups chopped sweet onion</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 large zucchini, chopped into 1” chunks (~2 cups
chopped)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 large yellow zucchini, chopped into 1” chunks (~2
cups chopped)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 Italian Eggplant, peeled & chopped into 1”
chunks (~1-1.5 cups)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 red pepper, chopped</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3/4-1 cup marinara sauce (or use chopped tomato)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1-2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, to taste</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4 cup packed fresh basil, finely chopped</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Herbamare + salt & pepper, to taste</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Method</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In a large cast-iron pot or skillet, heat the oil,
garlic, and onion over medium heat for about 5 mins, stirring frequently and reducing
heat if necessary.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Add the chopped zucchini, eggplant, and red pepper,
as they are ready to go in. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium
heat for about 10 minutes. I like giving the veggies a sprinkle of Herbamare to
bring out the flavours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Stir in about 3/4-1 cup of your favourite
marinara sauce (I used The Linen Collection Marinara from Costco!) along with
fresh herbs. Cook until vegetables are tender, but still a bit firm and not
overcooked – about 5-7 more minutes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Serve with a crunchy baguette, rice, potatoes,
couscous, quinoa, or simply as a side.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Having bought a couple of punnet’s of strawberries on the
weekend, and tasting just how flavoursome and yum they were (hello summer
fruits!), I felt compelled to buy more and create a tasty baked treat. So I
did!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I hopped off the train one stop early to go to Woolworths
(not ideal, but they had 2 punnets for $3.40!) and then walked home, salivating
at the thought of baking goodness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I googled a recipe, it received raving reviews and I had all
the ingredients. So I settled on this recipe, with a few Ess Mick’s tweaks (as
usual, my tweaks are in italics).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">They were so easy to make, and smelt so good baking in the
oven. Once they were ready, I packed some up and popped over to visit L-whack
and Miss Molly (L-whack is dog-sitting) and we ALL enjoyed these light, fluffy
muffs… erm muffins!! I can’t wait to have another one (or three…) tonight for
dessert.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Preheat oven to 425F (220<span>°</span>c), then grease your muffin
tin (I lined mine with Spiderman wrappers!).</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sift flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Stir in

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Combine milk, butter, egg and vanilla in a small bowl.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Stir milk mixture into dry ingredients until moistened. Then
stir in strawberries. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Spoon batter into muffin tray, filling each until about 2/3
full. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Note: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 chia egg = 1 tbsp. chia seeds + 3 tbsp. water in a cup.
Let sit for ~10mins until it resembles egg white consistency. Voila!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>

</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Ingredients </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2
green bell peppers, (3/4 lb total)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1
medium jalapeno (or more to taste)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2
large cans diced tomatoes (1 lb 12 oz each), or 8 large tomatoes peeled and
diced</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1
clove garlic, minced</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2
tbsp sugar (or to taste-- some people prefer it less sweet)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1
tsp chili pepper flakes (or more to taste)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2
tsp salt</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/3
cup extra virgin olive oil</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1
tbsp paprika</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Method</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Roast
the bell peppers. Seed the peppers and peel off the charred skin. Chop the
roasted skinned pepper flesh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Seed
the jalapeno, then mince it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In
a medium saucepan, combine diced tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, minced
jalapeno, garlic, sugar, chili pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a simmer over
medium high heat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Reduce
heat to around medium low, till the matbucha is cooking at a medium and
constant simmer. Monitor the temperature of the matbucha, stirring every ten
minutes to make sure it doesn't start to stick to the bottom of the pan. Let
the mixture cook for 65-75 minutes till most of the liquid has reduced and
cooked down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When
most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is quite thick, you are ready
to add your oil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In
a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and paprika.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pour
the seasoned oil into the pan and stir.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let
the matbucha cook for about 30 minutes more, stirring every 5 minutes. Towards
the end of cooking, taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as desired-- more
sugar for sweetness, chili pepper flakes for spice, and salt if needed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Remove
the matbucha from heat and allow to cool completely. The salad is best served
at room temperature or chilled.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">

<span style="font-size: small;">3/4

<span style="font-size: small;">2

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>For the pudding</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2
cup (4 ounces) white sugar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2
cup (4 ounces) brown sugar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/4
cup (2 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1
cup (8 ounces) cold water</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Vanilla
ice cream for serving, optional</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Method</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Heat
the oven to 375°F. Grease or spray with non-stick cooking spray an
8"x"8 baking pan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sift
the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt through a fine-meshed
strainer into a mixing bowl. Combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour
the liquids over the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula just until
no more dry flour is visible. Scrape this batter into the pan and smooth the
top.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For
the pudding layer, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a
small bowl. Pour over the cake batter and shake the pan to evenly distribute
the sugars.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pour
the cold water over the sugars. Do not stir. Put the pan immediately into the
oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. As it bakes, the cake will rise to the top
while the pudding forms beneath. The cake is finished baking when the edges of
the cake turn dark brown and crispy, and when the top of the cake is shiny and
dry to the touch.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let
the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Scoop slices of cake and
the pudding beneath into individual bowls and top with ice cream. Leftovers
will keep refrigerated for up to a week and can be reheated for 20 seconds in
the microwave.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Dang it. It's not even 11am, and I want pudding... </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Oh man. I need me some serious food porn today!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yesterday I attended a full-day workshop for Accountants (I’m
not an accountant, go figure) and the catering was disgraceful. Mercure
Melbourne Treasury Gardens – <b>SHAME ON YOU!!!</b></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I had requested vegan catering, and had followed up with the
event organiser that it was all organised without issue (it was). Morning tea
rolls by, and not only had they run out of normal morning tea for everyone
(scones without jam & cream!) but the venue had neglected my food request.
So one of the wait staff ran out the back and produced a bowl with 3 cubes of
rockmelon and a slice of watermelon (all unripe). Mmm tasty and fulfilling.
NOT. I also had to ask for some soy milk so I could make myself a coffee (which tasted like dirty water).</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">So my hopes for lunch were not high. They fared slightly
better, but not much.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The venue had put together 3 individual platters of
vegetarian food, and had labelled one of these platters as vegan, for me.
However this platter had a cheesy frittata on it - the chef came out, and tried
to convince me that it was vegan, and that the pesto in the roast vegetable wrap
did not have parmesan in it (as the wait staff told me that it did…). Needless
to say, I didn’t eat the frittata and I’m pretty sure that the pesto did have
parmesan in it (btw, I’m allergic to cheese) but was starving at this point so
ate it.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Afternoon tea was more unripe fruit. However this time I got
a squashed strawberry as well.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I think it’s fair to say that once I got home, I scoffed
some food down and I was so longer <a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/5849801/il_fullxfull.279398088.jpg" target="_blank">hangry</a>.</span> </div>

<br />
Ingredients<br />
<i>For the Spicy Peanut Sauce</i><br />2 tablespoons creamy organic or natural peanut butter<br />
2 tablespoons rice vinegar <br />1 tablespoon soy sauce <br />2 teaspoons sugar <br />1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes <br />1 to 2 tablespoons water, to thin out the sauce, if necessary <br /><i>For the noodle filling </i><br />1 1/2 ounces cellophane noodles (also called bean threads <br />1/2 teaspoon sesame oil <br />Red pepper flakes <br /><i>For the vegetable filling</i><br />1/3 seedless cucumber <br />1/2 medium carrot, peeled <br />1/2 red bell pepper <br />2 to 3 medium radishes <br />1 scallion, chopped <br /><i>For the vegetable dressing</i><br />1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar <br />1/2 teaspoon sugar <br />1 teaspoon fish sauce <br />1/2 lime, juiced, about 1 tablespoon <br />
<i>To assemble the rolls</i><br />8 rice paper wrappers <br />2 tablespoons cilantro leaves <br />16 to 24 fresh mint leaves <br /><br />Method <br /><i>Make the spicy peanut sauce </i><br />Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce until smooth and creamy, and set aside. <br /><br /><i>Make the rice noodle filling </i><br />If the cellophane noodles are very long, break them into smaller bits. Cook the cellophane noodles according to the package directions. We heated a medium saucepan full of water until almost boiling, then turned off the heat, added the noodles, and let them sit for about 10 minutes. <br />
Drain the noodles, put them in a bowl, and toss with the sesame oil and a dash of red pepper flakes. <br /><br /><i>Make the vegetable filling </i><br />Use a mandolin or box grater to slice the cucumber, carrot, and red pepper into thin strips — or simply julienne by hand. If you are using large radishes, you can slice them on the mandolin or box grater. Or just slice into thin rounds by hand. <br />
Whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice in a large bowl. Add the vegetables and the scallion, and toss to coat. <br /><br /><i>Soften the rice wrappers </i><br />Fill a round cake pan halfway with warm-hot water. (It should be quite warm, but cool enough to stick your fingers in it without getting burned. We let boiling water cool off for about 5 minutes.) For each wrapper, immerse it in the hot water bath until it softens, which takes about 30 seconds. Watch for it to begin curling, then immediately flip it over and continue flipping until it is just softened. Use both hands to pull it up out of the water, being careful so it doesn't collapse on itself, and spread it immediately on a plate. <br />Put filling in the centre of the wrapper: Fill the centre of the softened wrapper first by laying about 3 to 4 herb leaves down the centre. Then lay down about 1 to 2 tablespoons of noodles (you want to have enough for 8 rolls). Then, add 1/8 of the veggie mixture. Add a few sprigs of cilantro and 2 to 3 mint leaves, depending on how large they are. <br /><br /><i>Roll up the summer rolls </i><br />
To roll up your roll, first fold the top and bottom edges of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the edges towards the centre and continue rolling the filled wrapper until it's closed and snug. <br />Continue this process with each of the wrappers. You may need to change your hot water halfway through. As you finish each roll, place it on a cookie sheet and cover the rolls with a damp towel. <br /><br />To serve, slice in half with a sharp knife and serve the peanut sauce on the side. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">How delicious is this? Excuse me whilst I wipe up the drool
from my keyboard…</span></div>
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
<i>Blueberry Filling </i><br />4 cups of fresh picked, rinsed and dried blueberries <br />1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice <br />1 tsp. of fresh lime zest <br />1/2 cup of local raw honey (or other favourite liquid sweetener) <br />6 large fresh sweet basil leaves, finely chopped and minced <br />1/3 cup of tapioca flour (or starch works too) <br /><i>Cobbler Topping </i><br />1 1/4 cup of gluten-free oat flour<br />
1/2 cup of gluten-free rolled oats <br />1 cup of sweet sorghum flour or other gluten-free flour mix<br />
3 TB of coconut palm sugar or local maple syrup <br />1 tsp. of ground cinnamon <br />1 tsp. of baking powder <br />1/2 tsp. of sea salt <br />1/2 cup of melted organic coconut oil (or vegan butter sub) <br />1/2 cup of coconut milk beverage<br />
<br />Method<br />
In a medium saucepan, put all of the filling ingredients except the tapioca flour in on a low to medium heat. Let the blueberries simmer and become a hot liquidy sauce.<br />
After 5-10 minutes slowly stir in the tapioca flour and whisk and fold together until the blueberries and sauce become a tad thicker.<br />
Take off heat and pour the blueberry and sauce mixture into a 9x13 Pyrex baking glass pan. Then mix up the following cobbler mix to put on top.<br /> In a mixing bowl, mix all of the cobbler ingredients together well and then crumble or spread it over the blueberry filling in the Pyrex dish. You don't have to make it perfectly spread and it can have gaps in between the topping and the blueberries. When it bakes it will all come together.<br />
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until the blueberries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Then pull from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before spooning into serving bowls. The reason for this is because the blueberry filling is super-HOT and liquidy and needs to cool down to thicken and make easier to enjoy. Serve warm with some coconut whipped cream or some of your favourite vegan ice cream.EssMickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593008819840184778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694111302924349491.post-14930645348519205622012-08-15T13:08:00.000+10:002012-08-15T13:08:58.067+10:00My food baby<div style="font-family: inherit;">

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So worth it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Last night, my friend Shannon and I had a long overdue
catch-up/book swap. She had borrowed Veganomicon and Appetite for Reduction,
and I hope borrowed Vegan Pie in the Sky and Vegan Diner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We planned to meet up at Yong Green Food on Brunswick St –
somewhere I had wanted to go for a while, and a place that Shannon loves. It
was a cold miserable night, hampered by some pretty bad traffic (something
about a gas leak in a neighbouring street), but the lure of good company and
tasty food was awesome.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I found Yong. To find it closed for renovations. WHAT THE
EFF?!!! We had planned our dinner around the venue, so to find it closed was so
disappointing. I called Shannon, who was stuck in terrible traffic, and broke
the bad news. We ummed and ahhed over where to go instead. We settled on <a href="http://www.vegiebar.com.au/">Vegie Bar</a> as it was close, so I wandered
up the street to grab a table.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After a close to 10 minute wait to simply get my name on the
list (whilst reading the menu and almost dying of tummy rumbling), I was told
it would be a 15ish minute wait for a table, so I made my way out to the
waiting room, a cute little bar area with an open fire place. I ordered a glass
of biodynamic vegan red wine, and settled next to the fire for Shannon (who was
stuck in the worst traffic… poor love!). </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cut to 45 minutes later, and Shannon showed up all flustered
and hankering for a glass of wine (which she got!). And fortunately our table
was ready about 5 minutes later. (Umm is there something about Tuesday’s that
makes it a popular night to go out? Clearly, I am uncool.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We sat down, opened the menu and seriously struggled to
decide what to get. Usually you go out somewhere and they may have one or two
vegan friendly options on the menu – but Vegie Bar has 2 full pages of
options!! Plus specials. And they all sound soooooo good.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided on the ‘duo’ – lentil & potato curry and
chickpea dahl served with roti and brown rice. Yummers. So good.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It’s official. I’m depressed. This weather is horrendous. So
darn cold and miserable, it’s hard to just get out of bed in the morning. If
you’re reading this from places it snows, you’re probably chuckling to
yourself, but here in Melbourne we get the ‘breeze’ from Antarctica… and it’s
freaking cold.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">On the weekend, I bought some lovely organic produce – a head
of cauliflower, pumpkin, potatoes and some juicing apples (which I turned into
stewed apples!).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">On Tuesday, I realised I needed to cook with the cauli so I
decided to experiment. I initially thought I would roast it and turn it into
some kind of salad, but laziness got the better of me so I ended up making
soup.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>EDIT</i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Shortly after I wrote this post, Litha posted an
excellent picture (although horrifying) on Facebook (or stalkbook as I like to call it!) from GetUp!
visualising the new 'free range' chickens policy that the Australian Poultry
Industries Association wants to introduce...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">Thanks to Litha, I've copy and pasted what she
wrote alongside the picture. If you give a damn, then please take 2 seconds and
sign the petition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Australian Poultry Industries Association
(APIA) represents the country’s biggest chicken meat producers. They are asking
the ACCC to let them weaken the term ‘free range’. This is a great picture from
Get-up that represents the standards as they are, and as they will be if this
request from APIA gets through. In short, they will be able to legally label
chickens 'free range' that in reality are restricted to an area the size of an
A4 piece of paper. While it’s marginally better than factory farming, it’s far
from what you’d expect from 'free range’, especially given the premium we pay
for free range eggs. <br />
<br />
So if you give any kind of crap about the millions of chickens that provide
your eggs at all, you can use this link to send an easy pre-written email to
the ACCC that will take 2 freakin seconds: <a href="http://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/animals/apia-free-range-submission/protect-free-range?t=dXNlcmlkPTY4MzA2NSxlbWFpbGlkPTkyMQ%3D%3D" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/animals/apia-free-range-submission/protect-free-range?t=dXNlcmlkPTY4MzA2NSxlbWFpbGlkPTkyMQ%3D%3D</span></a><br />
<br />
OR to make a bigger impact change the wording to personalise, or send something
via snail mail. Or call them directly to hassle. Then call your local MP and
demand they raise the standards, ban cage eggs (and all factory farming while
they’re at it). I know I spam the news feed with animal rights stuff but as a
kid I had chickens, and they’re awesome animals, so they hold a special place
in my heart. So I urge you to please take two seconds and send off an email. Or
if you hate on Get Up, (cause I know some people take issue with them) check
out Animals Australia to get more details it <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.animalsaustralia.org%2F&h=eAQFmGqGuAQFUv8a4gsbsVBFBJdk4djS9Q7jyWhgtHKx-CA&s=1" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.animalsaustralia.org/</span></a></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On Friday night, I had a hot date with Litha. We changed second
last minute plans of seeing our friends band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheReprobettes">The Reprobettes</a> (one of the
member’s was sick) to changing our last minute plans of heading out to St
Andrew’s for some vegan pizza at A Boy named Sue (L-whack was working too hard
so we’ll go when he’s free), and instead headed to Carlton for some Shakahari
tastiness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We almost didn’t get in!! We rocked up at about 7.15pm and
asked for a table for 2. After about 5 anxious minutes of umming and ahhing,
and going over their bookings list, they said we could squeeze in as long as we
have the table ready for an 8.30pm booking. Score!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Litha and I perused the menu, drooling at the descriptions
and struggling to make up our minds on what to eat. It’s not often that a veg*n
goes to a restaurant and struggles to decide between what’s on offer!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided on the Indian Red Curry, whilst Litha settled on
the Satay Shakahari (after the waiter told her it was ‘to die for’ – how could
she resist?!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After a short wait (whilst enviously looking at what other diners
were eating!) our food arrived and it was amaze-balls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">

<span style="font-size: small;">In the foreground is Litha’s satay, and you can see my curry
in the background.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We were silent for a good 2 minutes whilst we hoed into our
yummy food, marvelling at the deliciousness. I couldn’t decide which curry I
liked more; the red curry or the dahl and kept going back and forth on my
decision… I still don’t know!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Litha thoroughly enjoyed her satay, and even though she eats
like a mouse (no wonder she’s so tiny!) she managed to get through the whole
meal – and I think she would’ve licked the plate if we weren’t in public!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Once we were done, I managed to coerce Litha into sharing a
Tofu Caramel, which I’d heard great things about. Now, I was a little
apprehensive (you know I’m no fan of tofu) but I was willing to take a risk!!</span></div>

that hit the right spot. Drizzled with caramel and pistachio’s, it was the
perfect way to end a meal.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Shakahari just opened a restaurant on Clarendon Street in
South Melbourne, and no doubt Litha and I will go and see if it’s as good as
the Carlton restaurant!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 can

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3
tomatoes from a tin (chopped)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2
tsp. brown sugar (optional)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pinch
of salt</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3
tbsp. sunflower oil</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2
lemon</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3
tbsp. coriander leaves (chopped)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Black
pepper to taste</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Method</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1.
Peel the onions, cut in half and then slice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2.
Heat a small pan and dry roast the coriander seeds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3.
Roughly crush in a mortar and pestle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the cumin seeds taking care not to burn them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">5.
Heat a large heavy bottomed pan on a medium - high setting and add the oil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">6.
When the oil is hot add all the spices and allow to sizzle for 1 min.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">7. Add
the onions and fry for 1 -2 mins while stirring occasionally so they don't
stick.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">8.
Turn down the heat to low and continue to cook for 10 -15 mins. Sprinkle on the
sugar if desired.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">9.
Thinly slice the ginger and then cut the slices into quarters. .Then add to the
onions with the chili and garlic. Cook for a further 2 mins then turn the heat
up to medium-high again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">10.
Add the chickpeas and cook for 5 mins before adding the chopped tomatoes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">11.
Add a splash or two of water to loosen off the mix. It should not be too dry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">12.
Turn down the heat a bit and simmer for 10 mins. You can mash a bit of the
chickpeas up with a spoon as the mushed chickpeas give a creamy texture to the
curry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">13.
Add the lemon juice and chopped coriander. Simmer for 1 min.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">14.
Serve it up with naan bread.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>SWEET</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Chocolate
also makes the world go around. As do berries. So this cake looks like a winner
to me. The recipe itself isn’t vegan, but can be easily veganised. Even though
we only have one kind of vegan-friendly soy yoghurt available in Australia
(yep, one measly disgusting gag-inducing option), you could probably use Tofutti
or similar in place of the yoghurt. I’ll make it sometime soon and give you an
update!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ingredients</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 cups
all-purpose flour<br />
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt
<br />
1 cup granulated white sugar
<br />
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
<br />
2 large eggs
<br />
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)<br />
1/3 cup plain low fat yogurt
<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips<br />
1 cup halved raspberries, tossed in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Method</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.<br />
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.<br />
3. In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer
at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla;
beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture; just until moist. Don't
over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries.
If you want, you can sprinkle a few additional chocolate chunks and raspberries
on the top to make it look pretty.<br />
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a
wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan on a
wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on the wire rack.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On a
final note, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ll all be aware that the
Olympics are on. It’s not really my thing, but I’m proud of our athletes and
all that they’ve achieved – simply by qualifying to be there. Not that the
media agrees, as the medal count isn’t what was hoped for. But these athletes
have sacrificed so much to be there – and no matter what or where Australia
sits on the medal tally, they have done great things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">PS – I
totally blame the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjWYYlWehk">Commonwealth
Bank</a> for James Magnussen ‘bombing out’ of his events – they totally jinxed
him!!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On Sunday, L-whack and I decided to hit some markets to find
some nice fresh fruit & veg for the week ahead. We failed miserably (I’ll
tell that story another day – but it’s near impossible to find quality fresh
produce, at a reasonable price!). I’m lucky that I’ve discovered Superfruit in
Ivanhoe, but as this isn’t near L-whack’s place, we need somewhere a little
more local for him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But one major positive came out of our market trek. <a href="http://www.misterniceguy.com.au/">Mister Nice Guy Cupcakes</a>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I’m not much of a cake person. Sure, give me a piece and I’ll
scoff it down in 2 seconds but I don’t crave it nor do I have it often (unlike
chocolate, which is consumed daily). But when Mister Nice Guy is knocking, I go
(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGmNqzbsuiY">natural, all natural white
pistachio</a>) nuts like a kid in a toy store!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">L-whack and I braved the miserable, cold, drizzly weather
and headed into Prahran Market, hoping to find some nice leafy greens (kale,
anyone?) but instead were bitterly disappointed – until I grabbed L-whack by
the arm and dragged him over to MNG.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We settled on buying 4 mini cupcakes to share later in the
day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Above is my dinner from last night. I think my love for <a href="http://www.vegiehead.com/index.html">Vegie Head</a> is well known in this
blog (I’m not a crazy groupie stalker – promise!), but I just can’t stress to
you how good, versatile and simple her recipes are! Last week I had Litha over
for dinner and made the <a href="http://www.vegiehead.com/main-meals.html">Swiss
chard & potato curry</a> (which she looooooooooved and was about the fifth
person to ask for the recipe). On Saturday, I made the Black lentil dahl which
is featured in Vegie Head’s <a href="http://www.vegiehead.com/e-book.html">e-book</a>
and I enjoyed a bit of both after my gym workout last night. Both recipes are
seriously delicious, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. As well as her
other recipes.</span></div>EssMickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593008819840184778noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694111302924349491.post-46218548529738176132012-07-27T12:48:00.001+10:002012-07-27T12:48:40.509+10:00Food Porn Friday! – July 27<div style="font-family: inherit;">

I am a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">massive</i> fan
of chips (thank God they’re vegan!). L-whack and I went to a fish & chip
shop last week, and ordered a large serve of chips and a potato cake for our
dinner… yep. Nutritious dinner I know, but we’d just completed a 90 minute walk
in the cold, and it was a Sunday evening. Don’t judge us!</div>

1 or 2 large sweet potatoes<br />2 tbsp safflower oil<br />Ground sweet paprika<br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
Method<br />Preheat oven to 200ºC.<br />Peel and cut the sweet potatoes in half.<br />Slice them into chips- try to make them as evenly sized as possible.<br />Par boil for 4-5 minutes.<br />In a bowl, whisk the oil and paprika together.<br />Toss the chips to coat, and spread out evenly on baking paper.<br />Sprinkle with more paprika and put on the middle shelf in your oven.<br />The trick to getting them crispy is to cook them on a wire rack over a baking tray.<br />Bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on how thick your chips are.<br />Serve with sweet chilli sauce.<br /><b><br />For Rosemary and Sea Salt Potato Chips</b><br /><br />3 or 4 large Nicola Potatoes<br />2 tsp dried rosemary<br />1/2 tsp Himalayan rock salt<br />1 tbsp safflower oil</div>

Makes 4 - 6 individual puddings or 1 large pudding (depending on size of ramekins)<br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
1 cup brown rice flour<br />1/2 cup coconut flour (Or 1 1/2 cups plain flour)<br />1/4 cup raw cacao powder<br />1/2 cup raw coconut sugar<br />1 tsp ground Dutch cinnamon<br />1/2 cup coconut oil, melted<br />1 cup almond milk<br />1/4 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts<br /><br />Sauce<br />1/4 cup raw coconut sugar<br />1/2 cup raw cacao powder<br />1 1/2 cup boiling water</div>

Method</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
Preheat oven to 180ºC.<br />In a large bowl, sift in flour/s, cacao and cinnamon, and stir in coconut sugar.<br />Add melted oil and almond milk and stir to combine- do not over mix.<br />Fold through macadamia nuts gently; the mixture will seem quite 'doughy'.<br />Spoon into ramekins or large oven proof dish.<br />In a heatproof jug, whisk together the sauce ingredients and pour gently (over the back of a spoon) onto puddings.<br />Bake for 20 minutes (ramekins) or 35 minutes (large dish).<br />Serve with vegan chocolate ice cream and grate some chocolate on the top.<br />Serve immediately. </div>EssMickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593008819840184778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694111302924349491.post-12510647362795070552012-07-23T13:11:00.000+10:002012-07-23T13:11:20.181+10:00Don't adjust your screens!<div style="font-family: inherit;">

Recently, my gorgeous nieces moved up to Queensland. It’s
been a pretty sucky couple of months; I miss them dearly. But hopefully I will
get to see them soon. My mum has gone up to visit them this week (I couldn’t

In a separate bowl, whisk together nuttelex, soy milk and
egg replacers. Gently mix into dry ingredients until combined.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
Pour mixture into prepared pan, smoothing top. Sprinkle
evenly with remaining pepitas and ½ cup blueberries. Bake for 50-55 minutes,
until cooked when tested with a skewer. </div>EssMickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593008819840184778noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694111302924349491.post-71164721696987973042012-06-21T12:03:00.000+10:002012-06-21T12:03:35.201+10:00Venn diagrams and Earthquakes...<div style="font-family: inherit;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Oh boy, I’ve been lazy lately. Not without reason, but I
just haven’t felt the urge to write a post in my blog… until now!! Perhaps it’s
the cold, miserable winter we’re in the middle of experiencing; maybe <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/quake-shakes-state-20120619-20m88.html">the
earthquake</a> rattled a few things loose in my head (haha!) or it comes down
to simply pure laziness and lack of motivation – not sure. But here is my

<span style="font-size: small;">Every so often, there’s a sign placed on the footpath on
Clarendon Street in South Melbourne. I think it’s from a local business – it
doesn’t seem to be selling anything, it’s just out there for a giggle. I’ve
noticed on previous occasions its featured zombies. Well, this week it was different…</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As I mentioned earlier, Melbourne experienced an earthquake
the other night. I was sitting on the floor in front of the heater, watching a
DVD of Grey’s Anatomy when there was a strange noise and everything started
shaking and rattling. At first, I honestly thought it was a possum on the roof
(as this happens nightly) however it kept going and I thought the glass was
actually going to break. Fortunately, on the earthquake scale it was minor and
there was no serious damage or injuries reported. It is VERY rare for Melbourne
to experience an earthquake, and I’d never experienced one before – and I have
to admit I hope to not experience another. I cannot imagine the terror that
people experienced in Japan, Italy, Turkey or Christchurch in recent times –
again, another reason why I am so lucky to live in Australia. However, in true
Aussie fashion, we took the piss out of it and some <a href="http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/3aw-blog/earthquake-humour/20120620-20mqq.html">online
pictures and references</a> went viral.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Last night, my brother popped over briefly. We were
chatting, when I went to the freezer to get a Tofutti Cutie (YUM!). He looked
at me, and told me he thought I was vegan now and why was I eating ice cream.
When I informed him it was soy/tofu ice cream, his face crumpled up in minor
disgust and he went quiet. I asked him if he wanted a bite to try – he ummed
and ahhed, then said ok. He took a tentative bite, chewed then looked
surprised. “Hey, that’s really quite good”, and proceeded to accept my offer of
a whole one to himself – BAHAHAHA!! There is no chance of him ever becoming
vegan (he had actually just come from a sausage tasting thing – yuck) but it’s
another small win for vegans!!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
On Wednesday, I swung by Northcote Bakeshop. I was hoping to
get some more <a href="http://vegienomnom.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/trivia-sourdough-and-downton-abbey.html" target="_blank">delicious grainy bread</a>, and <a href="http://vegienomnom.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/hello-monday-morning-where-did-weekend.html" target="_blank">vegan empanada</a>’s!! Unfortunately only
one of those options was available (empanada’s baby!).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
So I decided to try another one of their offerings. As it
was late in the day for them, they’d sold out of most of their bread. It was a
tough decision, choosing between their honey, oat & organic red quinoa sourdough
or their potato bread with rosemary and nigella seeds… On this occasion the
sourdough won (even though honey isn’t considered vegan) but I am
glad I did!! It’s a dense, delicious loaf that went beautifully with my soup!!</div>

SO dense with fruit, spices and sesame seeds – YUM!! I may
have been seduced by the tastiness once I got back to my car, and managed to
polish off about 1/3 of the loaf by the time I got home… hehe!! My lap looked
like a sesame crop had exploded!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
Both these loaves were $7 each, a little more than I usually
pay but I thought it would be good to try them and keep in mind for special
occasions. I will definitely be back to try their potato bread – like apple
& cinnamon, potato & rosemary is a match made in heaven.</div>
