Update 24th September

Amy has been busy with uni work lately, so I thought I would do this post for her. I've never used a computer before, so this will be an experience for all of us. Hold on!

From oldest to newest:

8th September - Blasphemous Krishna Dahl
Made by Cam
From some shitty religious propaganda

Okay, so I may have put onion and garlic in a Krishna recipe, I honestly don’t recall, but it's likely. It probably made it taste better too. The real mystery is whether Lord Krishna is going to smite me with a fireball from the sky for the offence. Oh, Great Garlic, I would never forsake you for that false idol Krishna.

Those of you on the east coast of Australia will know that we had a lunar eclipse on a full moon recently. I went out with my telescope and camera into the front yard. All the pics I took of the moon sucked, so here is something else.

Time Lapse Moon

Oh and one final note. See that Squash, Fennel and Apple Soup above? Those spikes sticking out are sharp spikes of pure apple. Don't try this recipe if you're not hardcore enough. I drew a picture to show what would happen if you weren't hard as f*&k and you tried to eat it.

Okay, so I've written about 800 words in 90 mins (yay for me)!

Go devil possum!

Amy said...

You did pretty well for a first blog post Cam!

Amy send some of those strawberry shortcake things in my direction okay? YUM!

Cute possum too. I also tried to get shots of the moon that night and only managed black photos. Funny enough I also saw a kitty in a tree looking down at me. After 5 minutes of calling kitty kitty kitty trying to get it to come down for pats I realized I was talking to a small possum! (and yes, it was looking at me like I was mad, and it was DARK okay?!?!?)

Good luck with the million and one words you're writing Amy! Nice to see an update :P

Woah, great post, great food! Have to say the mushroom dish with dumplings and the strawberry shortcake are grabbing me the most right now. :) Good luck with the writing Amy--sounds like you are going great guns. Care to send a little of that my way? Could use it!!!

Awesome food. I love the krishna dahl, did krishna strike you down in the end?

the food looks lovely!

Love this post, Cam. But it seems as if you're going down a perilous path--first screwing around with krishna, then worshipping seitan... what's next, the flying spaghetti monster?! Ahhh, I amuse myself, at least.

Can't help but notice the photos were mostly evenly split--cam, amy, cam, amy, cam, amy.... do you really take turns cooking so evenly, or was that just to mix things up?

Amy said...

Cam did a good job, eh?

Vegetation - yes the shortcakes were awesome - if you have VWAV it'd be easy to make an almond milk version!

Thanks Veganista - words are coming thick and fast (finally!)

Krishna didn't strike us down, but we do have a flying Spaghetti Monster pic on our Media PC desktop (we are HUGE FSM-ites!).

We tend to try to share most of the cooking (though Cam is primary cook until the thesis gets handed in on November 5). Cam tends to do the curries, etc and I do the pasta and stuff. I am, of course, the cupcake and cookie expert in the house. :)

Carla said...

Hey, so where the mushroom stew with dumplings from ???? "Vegan"?? It looks Lovely and its something I may like to try!

Anonymous said...

cool post - made me laugh! :)

Cam said...

Carla -> The recipe book title is indeed just "Vegan". It's written by Tony Weston & Yvonne Bishop. I just googled for it and found a link that shows the front cover. http://www.eruditor.com/books/item/9780600616313.html.en
