volume of cooking over here correlates with the amount of stress: zucchini, tomato, potato, onion, shallot, herbs, olive oil--before and after. #foodsky #vegancooking #vegan
a round pyrex dish filled with slices of tomato, potato, zucchini, shallot, arranged artfully (really jam it in there, they shrink), salt, olive oil, fresh herbs.

when the news stresses me out, I sometimes cook (because it's a creative outlet and at least I'll have something nourishing at the end). roasted veg lasagna (vol up) #vegancooking #cooking #friyay

this is G (she misses Missy, but delighted to meet you), she's about 10 (but we don't really know, she's lived here nearly 5 years). her mum occasionally dresses her in funny hats, but G is never amused.

oh sorry to hear this, but yes, we're experts. tip: try to find one without padding (I haven't found two on the left anymore, alas)-- the crinkly blue one on the far right can be folded back to allow her to eat, then folded forward to prevent her from getting to her toe.

an irksome question: have you attempted this with vegan butter and/or is there a modern recipe that uses repeatedly-brushed-on oil? I made four of the following for thanksgiving (vegan mushroom-walnut-chestnut filling), but making my own pâte feuilletée might take it to the next level
store bought vegan puff pastry wrapped around a savory filling of caramelized shallot-onion-garlic-leek, mushrooms, walnuts, chestnuts, fresh rosemary and thyme

raising a glass to my Y2K GE range. my faithful baking partner has served me so so well thru the years, I'll forgive her broiler giving up the ghost. on thanksgiving. (all of what needed to be cooked is cooked) and boy that mauve kitchen is soooo 90s #gerange #GE #happy thanksgiving
screenshot of the original GE photo of one of it's 1999-2000 GE slide-in gas ranges, showing an original price of $949 (so expensive! came new with my place). the black range is shown nestled between two light-oak cabinets sporting grey laminate countertops, all set against mauve wallpaper. so 1990s. her broiler was fine yesterday, but gave up the ghost this morning (thanksgiving).

thanksgiving cooking 7: the last two mushroom-chestnut wellingtons. broiler died but by some miracle oven still working, happy thaknsgiving #thanksgiving #vegetarian #vegan
