Testing, Testing

Hey everyone.  It's the weekend.  Woot!
Over the past few weeks we've found a few new vegan products in the supermarket.
Exhibit One: Fry's products
OMG, these are seriously good!!!
Package of Fry's Cottage Pie
Sooooooo yummy.  We've had this twice now - you can microwave it (but then the potato doesn't get brown and delicious).  Microwaving is good if you have sore teeth!
Fry's Cottage Pie
Here we find Cottage Pie served with quickly stir fried Silverbeet with garlic.

Droooooooool................
Package of Fry's Sausage Rolls
These are pretty good.  They're basically Fry's Sausages wrapped in pastry.
Fry's Sausage Rolls
Mmmmmm puffy.
Fry's Sausage Rolls 2
Tee hee - this reminds me of the Seitan O'Greatness when it expands after cooking!!!  Gee I wonder what else it looks like (well you did ask for food porn)....
Vegan Choc-Chip ice-cream package
My lovely friend Melissa (hey Mel!  Congrats on finishing honours!) brought this over to me two days after my wisdom teeth were removed.  You can get it from Mrs. Flannery's stores.  I know Melissa must like me because it's about $15 a tub!!!!!     
Vegan Choc-Chip ice-cream
It's pretty good.  Because it's raw, the vanilla flavour really shines through.  I liked it!
So, I'm looking forward to a weekend of knitting, TV watching and maybe some dinner cooking.  At the moment I'm thinking of rosemary gnocchi.  Or maybe a stuffed mushroom pasta?  You'll have to wait and see!

Holiday! Celebrate!

Hey guys.  We're back!
Exams are over (woot!).  I passed everything (and Cam did really well - what do you expect!).  Thanks for all your kind good luck wishes in the comments guys!
What else is new?  Hmmmmm.....
I had my wisdom teeth out last week.  It wasn't too painful.  But ice-cream for breakfast gets old....
But I digress, you want the food pornage, don't you?
Doggies and Salad
Sanitarium Hot Dogs in el cheapo doggy rolls and a bean and baby spinach salad.  Fart making materials.....
The stars of the blog muscled into this photo.  I'm in the middle of making them a few new friends.  (Ha - so almost typed fiends - Freudian slip!)
How It All Vegan - Hearty Winter Soup
Hearty Winter Soup from How It All Began.  This was a Cameron creation!
Mushroom and Silverbeet risotto
Mushroom and Silverbeet Risotto (buried under chiffonaded italian parsley).  I made this after my Public Law exam.  I couldn't stop snacking on this ALL weekend!
I'll keep this post short and sweet.  Hope everyone is doing well.  I'm back @ full time work now, so there's no rest for the wicked.  Mwahahahahaha!

VeganMoFo - catchup!

Say hello to my little friend
EAR would like to welcome his new little nameless friend.  Anyone got any suggestions?  I think she's the cutest one I've made yet (I have a crab in pieces, but reading case law seems a little more important right now!).
But here's more exciting stuff.... Food!!!
Big sandwich
Mmmmmmmmm gargantuan sandwich.........
Pizza Scrolls
Bittersweet's Pizza Scrolls with VCON cashew ricotta.  Yummo!
mmmmmm blt
BTLT (Bacon Tofu, Lettuce and Tomato).  Can you tell EAR wants to run away with it?
Let's fight over the tofu salad
EAR and the new toy are fighting over who gets to be in the picture! Tee hee.....
Hey guys,
I have exams in two weeks, so this is going to be my last post for a while.  Cam, on the other hand has already finished exams (grrrrr) so I'm handing over to him.  So here's my final catchup before my last exam in November!!!
Amy out.....

VeganMoFo - I'm avoiding study again!!!!

To show you the fruits of my shopping labours!
Asian Grocery Score
From the bottom left (clockwise): Fried Tofu, Vegan Codfish pieces, Peach Tea, Vegan Roast Pork, Vegan Prawn, Vegan Beef Chunks, Vegan Soy Pieces, Vegan Chicken Nuggets, Lemongrass, White Miso, Hard Tofu (my favourite brand - all the other ones crumble too much).  This came to about $100.  It'll feed us for more than a month.  D'ya reckon you could do that with meat? :)

VeganMoFo - Tuesday 14th October 2008

Brinner!  And the return of our little friend....
Brinner
As you can see I restrained him behind a specially designed metal bar to prevent him from stealing the feast of: baked beans, fried 'shrooms and spinach, ginger and apple waffles, tofu bacon and a hash brown.  I wussed out and ate the waffles separately (sorry - don't get the sweet and savoury thing).
The tofu bacon and waffles are bastardized versions of recipes from Vegan With A Vengeance.  Yum!
