Vegan Cooking outside of the hutch.
22 April 2012 @ 10:07 am
In the interest of keeping my personal life (not interesting) separate from my cooking life (vaguely interesting) I'm going to start keeping personal entries friends only, and cooking entries public. So if you'd like to view just my cooking entries, friend me, but if for some unfathomable reason you want to read about my personal life (Art school, lesbian drama, relationship collapses, and taking care of small feral children) comment here/message me, and I will add you back. If you just came here originally for the Vegan Food Porns, feel free to chop me from your F-list. I promise I wont be offended (or show up at your doorstep with a hatchet).

I'd been sitting in front of the computer sick all day, and it got to the point where I couldn't stand it any longer. I gathered whatever strength I could dig up, dragged myself to the kitchen and distracted myself in the most delicious way possible.

Not, of course, that I can taste my delicious work with this hell-sent blocked nose.

What is this? A food post? Fo 'rizzle? No! It can't be! Surely you jest!

No, kind, dear readers.. I do not jest! Your eyes are not deceiving you! 

In a matter of hours, I will be giving a speech to my Art History class, and of course.. I chose to do it on cupcakes. So; to go along with my (pretty awesome) speech I've cooked up, I baked a double batch of ultra-scrummy cuppers to hand out during. (Yes, so they're all too busy munching away to pay any attention to me. Woohoo... pressure = gone. :D)

So, dahlings, here they are. (nestled in my speccy cupcake tier)



Vegan Chocolate cherry cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and glace cherries.

And a cut for a picture of them lined up in a box ready to travel on the train. 

EDIT:

For those of you wondering how it went.. I got an A grade, at 85%. BUT, the teacher kindly told me afterwards that it would have been an A+ and a 95% if I hadn't have presented it two weeks late.

Yeah. I know, I know. I'm just *that* awesome.

(I also had enough cupcakes leftover to give the nice ladies at the office one each, left two out on the bench for Bianca when she gets home from work, AND, one last extra special one for Tim, as a thankyou for lending me his Memory Stick so I could actually do my speech! Perfect.)

SECOND EDIT:
 
And I forgot to explain! The reason for my lack of vegan food posts is because of the fact I broke up with my girlfriend, and so have moved out and now I am very poor and very busy and very lazy, and sad most of the time. It will get better, I promise! I'll be back to my old vegan cooking ways before you know it ;)

Ruth is forever saddened everytime we walk down the cookie aisle and she passes by her old favourite (non-vegan) cookie; Jam tarlets. With this heart-breakingly forlorn look upon her face. Well, we can't have that now, can we? I had a day off today (finally!), and got around to some very well deserved baking.

So everything is done+handed in, and I've been marked off for it all. Oh. Except my theory questions. Which I haven't done. Whoops. I was so freakin stressed+emotional+dying from cramps yesterday that when I finally found Selga so I could hand my things in, I just burst into tears. That was fun. 

Chicken-bum was demanding more peanut butter cookies this morning, but I had a 1/4 block of vegan white chocolate calling out to me from the cupboard, demanding I use it for cooking. (Note: I brought the block to use in cookies originally. I/Chicken-bum/Hayley, have just eaten 3/4 from the packet.)

So I used it I did! (You don't think she'll be TOO disappointed about the lack of peanut butter cookies, do you?)



Vegan white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. 

(P.S: I'm almost officially on holidays! Stay tuned for actual food posts!)

I didn't go to my Graphics class this morning for the SOLE reason that I was going to spend the morning baking cupcakes + decorating them so I would have more examples of my cuppers to give to Jess's friend this afternoon at work. Well, that went down the drain because I have apparently lost my keycard and therefore me = money-less, so I couldn't go to the shops for supplies. I managed to squeeze out a set of plain vanilla ones and decorated them two different ways. And I had such plans! Mocha cuppers, cherry cuppers, mint+chocolate, rainbow cuppers! *fail*



Vanilla cuppers with sugar decorations. (I wish you could see the pattypans better, they're so cute.)



Vanilla cuppers with purple vanilla icing and edible glitter. (can anyone say "OMFG, Dora the Explorer cupcake liners?!")

I decided this morning that I'm going to start making cupcakes to order. Set up a website, chuck up some pictures, then make them as orders come in (Just perth based.) Eventually I hope to open an actual store. Small, just enough room for a counter, and a small kitchen for baking out the back. Perhaps in Subiaco, where they have too much money, and not enough to do with it. ANYWAY; funny story, I was telling Jess at work about it and she told me that her friend was looking to get a cupcake tier done for her 21st. She said she'd pass it on to her friend that I could do it. How exciting! I could have my first order already :D :D

No classes today, so I was able to spend more time than usual preparing dinner. Joyous!

I felt like a real houseWife today, coming home from class at 2pm, kneading dough for pizza bases, then putting it out in the sun to rise. Cleaning up. Reading in the sun <3

Chicken-bum was very excited when she came home to find the dough resting on the bench. She was all "*hopefull shiny eyes* Pizza?!"

Yes Chicken-bum, pizza.



Homemade pizza base with herbed tomato sauce, garlic, mushrooms, spinach, sundried tomato, black olives, jalepenos, baby rocket, onion and topped with vegan cheese.

(P.S. The vegan cheese actually melted properly this time! LIKE REAL CHEESE. Omfg. I was so unbelievably excited. I was literally running around the kitchen shouting "It melted! OMFG, it melted!" Yeah. I'm cool. *sheepish eyes*)

I bet you all think I don't eat veggies, eh? No.. no.. it's fine. I understand. I post a lot of cookies and cupcakes and yummy baked things. Besides what you think of me, however. They is totally veggie eating going on here. Oh yes. The vegies we munch. Munchy veggies! Oh yes! The problem is, we eat a lot of steamed veggies and huge salads, which, really, aint that interesting.

Tonight, I solvered the problem. (Quite deliciously)

Mmm, I am so very fond of procrastination. I have so much work due this week and next, that I should be stuck in a corner buried beneath conte crayons, art texts and fixative spray. Instead, I went op-shopping. Got three pieces of clothing for myself, and two for Ruthie-poo. Good haul, I say. I also cashed a check from a month ago, cleaned the house, and made yummies for lunch.

Simple; yet so, so delicious!



Organic herbed+roasted sweet potato and potato chips.

I was in my drawing class today (the cookies went down quite wonderfully, btw. I even had one leftover to run to Paul, the tool shop guy (he's small cute funny. When I gave it to him he told me he wanted to have my children.)) and we are currently working on a group project concerning the city. The following conversation went down;

Me: In this corner we should do I rubbish pile of consumer goods, with a banner over the top saying "Too much of everything you don't need". You know, to represent how wasteful and materialistic city-people are. We can cut out pictures of cameras, computers, bags, and shoes and stuff from magazines.
Gemma: Oh! Cool! I'll do that bit. I love shoes!

Bec and I just looked at each other and did a kind of communal face-palm. Ye-gads! 

Anyway; on to dinner. Something warm, comforting and filling to toast the feeties and warm the heart on a rainy day.

It's pouring down with rain and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm going to take a batch of freshly cooked peanut butter cookies to class. There's nothing like spreading the love with peanut butter cookies on a rainy day. (Even MJ can have one, but I hope he chokes just a little :D)

I'm a junk-food vegan D: It hurts me to say it, but it's true. *cries in a corner while eating oreos between sobs*

Actually, you know what? I don't care. I'm fine with the cruelty-free pounds. I have no qualms with my self-image.

BRING ON THA BURGAAARSSS. (My girlfriend just kindly told me it's not a real burger because it doesn't have tomatoes on it. PSSSSSSSHH. Stick yer tomatoes!)

Say no to Theory! Say yes to staying in bed! (I'm, without a doubt, going to fail that class *face palm* But only because of the fact I keep.. just not going to it)

This morning, after I managed to drag myself from bed at 8am (I was supposed to have left the house to get to class 15 minutes previous) I got slapped in the face with a horrendous curry-egg sandwich craving, and with no tofu in sight, I had to improvise.

It didn't get done anything done Thursday, Friday, Saturday, OR Sunday. So yesterday, the plan was to finish all those pesky projects today, so you know what been doing allll day?

Baking cupcakes of course ;) (like I will be finishing those projects anytime except the night before the last day of term. Jeeeze.)

Go here for an adorable pre-iced picture of my cuppy's.

Last night, while frolicking through Mt Lawley, my girlfriend and I wandered into Planet Books, and discovered a variable cornicopia of vegan cook books! And at such a reasonable price, we couldn't help ourselves and ended up spending $130. One of the books we got was Rawvoluton, and after reading it last night, my girlfriend was converted. Now, I like.. no I LOVE cooked food. I love baking, cupcakes, cookies, loafs, bread, rolls, slices. I love stews and hot soups and roast vegetables, nachoes and stir-fry and noodles and pasta. So we came to a compromise, three days a week raw, four days a week vegan.

Today was a Rawday. :)



Raw organic "Scarborough Fair" vegetable soup and;



Tapenade stuffed organic mushrooms. This recipe was meant to be dehydrated, but I can't imagine it would have tasted better than it already was if it had of been. :) Yummy!

First of all, happy Easter, Ostara, or Autumn Equinox! Hope you got lots of that yummy chocolate-stuff. Some kids and parents at work gave me some milk chocolate that I felt bad not accepting (as they didn't know and it was a gift) and I'm sure I can find an omni friend who will scoff it down on Tuesday.

Thankgod Fresh Provisions was open today, as our fridge was bare and our stomach's empty. Got some stuff, and threw together an antipasto plate. Mine and my Chicken bums favourite weekend treat!



Antipasto plate with roasted rosemary potatoes, grilled vege sausage and onions, garlic bread, dill pickles, chilli and garlic pitted olives, marinated fire roasted red peppers, fresh bread, and a spinach, cheezly cube and yellow tomato salad with a oh-so-yummy basil, olive oil, lime and toffuti cream cheese dressing. And there's another picture here :D
