VeganMoFo: Iron Chef #2.
Sorry this is so late, my uterus took me prisoner and forced me to watch Firefly and eat tater tots all day. It was miserable.
We had a lot of desserts this time, and I can’t tell you how hard it is to look at all of these pictures when all I want to do is fall face first into a chocolate cake.
All of the bases were covered. We had strudel, muffins, caramel sauce (holy crap), more caramel, sandies, pancakes, cheesecake, a galette, dessert pizza, baked pears, mini-pies, and more muffins. I hate you all for torturing me, you inconsiderate jerks!
On the savory side we have a pear and hazelnut feta salad, stuffed squash, and stuffing.
There are two honorable mentions. First, Jenn because she didn’t make just one dish, she made a complete dinner from drink to dessert. Second, A-K for making this amazing looking raw dessert. Not only does it sound good, but the pictures are amazing.
As for what I made, it’s not pretty but it was good! I spent the day playing Rock Band and got home starving, so I threw this together pretty quickly. I grilled my pears (which you should do, because holy crap is that good). I made my sauce with almond butter, soy sauce, ginger sauteed in hot chile oil, and coconut milk. I threw in some fried tofu and eggplant for good measure and then sprinkled almond meal on top. In hindsight I should’ve added more color.

mushrooms and herbs
cabbage and potatoes

kittee
What you need is a twenty sided die to pick the ‘gredients next time.
Next weeks theme: pickles and chocolate.
I think your links are mixed up…the “Jenn” link takes me to the right spot, but the “A-K” link takes be to the same place as “Jenn”.
So I know I’m way late, but here’s what I came up with: http://veganhomemade.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/veganmofo-iron-chef-challenge-2/
Thanks for the inspiration!
haha, my uterus loves firefly too!
dinner looks yum as well 🙂
I saw your blog name and had to visit and tell you how wonderfully playful it is – love, love, love it! And then I learned of your uterus. Now, even though it’s my first visit to your site, I feel I know you maybe too well. (JK!)
I look forward to reading your lovely blog and I hope that next month leaves you tater-tot free (or at least pain-free!)
Wow… did I just ramble that much?
“Sorry this is so late, my uterus took me prisoner and forced me to watch Firefly and eat tater tots all day.”
I’ve read your blog here and there but now you’ve got a loyal reader. As a Browncoat & vegetarian interested in veganism… you had me at Firefly (and well, salty fried potatoes are a good plan when your uterus stages a coup).
Xie xie!
