Tonight SB and I made our first meal with seitan. As it turns out, seitan (at least the "chicken-style") is more flavorful than tofu. Yum. The meal was a sauteed seitan with mushrooms and spinach -- recipe was found in Veganomicon and was relatively cheap and very easy. Tomorrow we have another Veganomicon recipe on the docket -- a "Snobby Joe" recipe which uses lentils as a base rather than beef. I predict that it will be amazing and I am so looking forward to our new-found commitment to a more versatile menu of ingredients and combinations. Cooking with SB is quite possibly my favorite way to spend time.
On a side note, we are watching "Treme" and on a recent trip to the library found a ton of cds featuring the New Orleans musicians that appear on the show, including Trombone Shorty and Kermit Ruffins. Love love love it. If I had a few thousand dollars to spend, Jazz Fest would be at the top of my list. As it is, library cds are a fantastic free substitute.
Lastly, SB is obsessed with tea, and a gift card to Tea Source led us to a sampler pack, an herbal, and a darjeeling that are all delicious (at least everything that we've tried thus far). Tea is such a simple pleasure. I love it in the morning and in the evening -- so soothing and a lovely companion for a great book.
