Already got one thanks
This is a stupid question, but what holidays??? Christmas and New Years are over, the next real holiday is in like 3 months?
i will not elaborate
I was too lazy to cook yesterday, so I had cafeteria food instead. They switched a significant amount of meals to vegan, so I even had choices between Green Curry noodles, Pizza and Schnitzel ๐ฅณ
What foods totally gross you out?
My #1 is fish. Couldn't eat it since I was a child. I just really hate the smell and something about the saltiness in the taste just really upsets me. Can't even have seaweed and to some extent soy sauce because it kinda tastes similar. I bought some vegan tuna about a year ago with the intention to try that but had a panic attack and couldn't ๐ฅฒ
Made a nice greek/ceasar-ish (?) salad with that Seitan I mentioned yesterday! It got a little too crunchy in the air fryer, but after soaking in the dressing for a bit it was perfect :)
Have you gotten better at cooking this past month?
I think I haven't gotten better exactly, but the change in ingredient options has definitely been inspiring! A friend and I are workshopping some very evil recipes right now, it's gonna be so much fun to refine them haha
Thank you!
Ooh I totally have to get a pressure cooker sometime, people seem to be doing awesome things with them! For now, I just limit myself to red lentils from the local turkish store, somehow they cook down within like 10mins and are super consistent :o
Can't tell, must be some sort of japanese animal. Tanuki?
The soul of the sickly victorian child in me craves this so much
I made it based on the "chicken-style" recipe on this site! It's in german though, here's a quick translation:
250 g Cooked chickpeas
2 TBLS Yeast flakes
10 g Salt
1 TS Garlic Powder
2 TS Onion Powder
2 TBLS Soy Sauce
2 TBLS Vinegar
1 TBLS Olive oil
425 g Seitan Fix/ Vital Wheat Gluten

1. Blend everything except the VWG together in a food processor with 500ml of water.
2. Add the liquid to your VWG and knead for 10mins, then let it rest for 10-30mins. Divide the dough in two parts, slightly flatten them, turn them around and form them into balls. Make sure that the surface of the dough stays even and streched out.
3. Steam in medium heat for 45mins. When placing in the dough, make sure that the "hole" from forming it into balls gets placed on the bottom.
4. Let it cool completely and tear it into chicken-like chunks. For best flavour, leave them in the fridge overnight.
I'm not good with following directions so I left all the kneading to my offbrand thermomix and just boiled the seitan in a packet of onion soup. I also left it in one clump and just cut it into little steaks the next day. Texture-wise, it turned out rather soft and chewy for me, with a bit of a "cheese-pull" when biting off. I do kinda prefer that over hard Seitan though haha
It's balsamic-marinated chickpea seitan, with some pesto and some more balsamico on top. Tasted nice (texture was like mozzarella!) but it does look a bit sad haha

Dang, your Adderall keeps you awake? If I even look at a cozy sofa after taking mine I get smitten down by a mandatory 4 hour nap

I volunteer to walk dogs at the local animal shelter, so I always just talk about the new dogs I met in those meetings haha
