While I mostly followed this recipe, I did add a tad of baking powder and some "chicken" seasoning.

Looking at the crumb, it just looks like normal bread. And when you bite into it, it initially just feels like bread, but then you're suddenly hit with the feeling of a mouth full of chicken meat. Of course, it's just seitan, but it still feels far closer to meat then you'd really expect of something that looks just like normal bread.

Got another italian oyster mushroom grow kit. Gonna batter and deep fry them once they grow up. Yum!

Soy curls and nutritional yeast / nut based "cheese" sauce!

I actually kind of dislike hoagie rolls apparently, so I went evil and just used a sausage bun.

Speaking of sausage, I gotta go call a primary care doctor so I can get my bottom surgery pre-clearance checklist filled out.

I may have done something evil by using a sausage bun, but I truly dislike how thick the rolls I was using previously were, so I way prefer this.

Anyway! The cheese steak! I made my own cheese sauce for this (and too much at that), so now it's fully 100% good and normal food without any coconut or palm oil to bump up the saturated fats.

From memory, cheese sauce was roughly:
120 grams of full fat oat milk
50 grams of nutritional yeast (I used ~10 grams fortified but then did the rest unfortified since I don't need all those nutrients)
30 grams of nuts (I used a mix of walnuts, cashews, and almonds)
10 grams of tapioca starch
Seasoning (turmeric and paprika for color, salt, pepper, garlic)
Water to get the stuff off the sides of the blender (I was gonna boil it off in a pot anyway)

I used like 3/5 of that I think, with the rest put into the fridge. So, the used cheese sauce plus 60 grams of soy curls and the bun is:
47 grams of protein
16 grams of fiber
730 calories

Honestly, the only way to improve from here would really be to use a better bun, something whole wheat or dave's killer bread maybe... Ah, I already bought a pack of six buns, so I'll get to doing something like that after enjoying 5 more of these.

There's a local mushroom company that's always selling lion's mane at the co-op just a ten minute walk away, and I need to have this so much more often. I didn't know it was that good.

Also, it'd probably make a good burger. So, that's happening next.

I've been told that all the good fantasy authors use curly commas, so I've been transitioning to using those. I wanted to know what all the great writers here thought on the debate though.

Made with zero animal cruelty too!

But maybe a little human cruelty~
(it's okay. she liked it.)

Vegan fried oyster mushrooms! Plus a bonus page of egg white pancakes (animal-free egg whites) that were made with a whole lot of zero calorie sweetener, just to keep a rough balance between obscenely healthy food and a vegan-stereotype-defying greasy mess that makes my doctor sweat blood.

Got some italian oyster mushrooms at the farmers market, so I decided to cook a little treat.

(bonus egg white pancakes on second page (using the animal-free egg whites). Sadly that's technically healthy and isn't increasing my cholesterol, but a girl can dream)

Finished a writing project! Now I get to eat my strangely healthy rotini and cheese.

The cheese in question is just hemp milk, a lot of nutritional yeast, and a small amount of potato and tapioca starch for binding (plus seasoning). Which means this is actually ridiculously healthy for me with 60 grams of fiber, 47 grams of protein, almost no saturated fat, and 3780% my daily value of b12. It's wild the stuff mad scientists are making out of fungi.

It is wild how technically healthy this is. The cheese sauce is just hemp milk, a lot of nutritional yeast, and a smaller amount of tapioca / potato starch plus seasoning.

I think I used like 60 grams of nutritional yeast in the cheese sauce? So, the overall nutrition of this meal is probably around:
Fiber: 60 grams (this is Carbe Diem pasta)
Protein: 47 grams
Which is wild for something that tastes ridiculously good. I fucking love nutritional yeast so much.

Small edit note: this apparently contains 3780% my daily value of b12. Sadly, I'm vegan so I'm always b12 deficient according to the meat eaters.

By the way, I did the math and this cheesesteak was ~$3.

Half of that was from the vegan cheese. Cheese is so much more expensive than I thought! Next time, I need to save money buy making my own whiz from tofu, cashews, and nutritional yeast to save money. Or maybe skip the cheese out of laziness. That's also an option.

Otherwise: ~40 grams of protein and ~20 grams of fiber. Neeto.

I have a spreadsheet for ice cream recipes to get fat ratios and whatever right. But anyway, this ice cream was actually pretty lazy as instead of using a combination of vegan heavy cream and oat milk, I did just use a can of coconut milk.

Anyway. Recipe for ice cream:
400 grams of canned coconut milk (so, one whole can)
60 grams of sugar (to reach ~13% sugar by mass)
4 grams of vanilla extract

depending on the fat content of your coconut milk, that should be ~15% fat by mass (but each can is different). So, no need for heavy cream to increase the percentage there. Next time I'm gonna try a can of coconut cream instead.

Sourdough loaf from the grocer, sliced with a bread saw then cut manually into sticks, lightly baked in a toaster oven to get it somewhat stale before dipping in a batter of coconut milk, just egg, animal free egg whites, vanilla and cinnamon before being fried in cultured vegan butter and finally topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

The lady enjoyed her breakfast.

>The Great Ring is clear with its rules for magic. The Ringborn are given its trust to bless consorts with magic, through intimacy. But there are far more consorts than Ringborn, and someone as mundane as Catarina de Alioni was never going to practice magic.

>But by the Great Ring's strange design, she ends up the apprentice of an enigmatic mistress in an obscure parlour. Promised dates and encounters with Ringborn paid for by her several times older mistress, Vincenza Nasciowa, all Catarina has to do is accept a kiss from one. Just a kiss.

This is my own work that I've produced, and this is in fact self promotion! The book is on pre-order with it's release on July seventh!
The Necromancer's Parlour is a dubiously cozy sapphic romantasy, filled with a sweet age-gap romance, some spice, and a tasteful amount of grief. First in a two part series, with the sequel already penned so there won't be any large wait times!

Really loved the one I got from a vegan stall at the farmer's market, so I learned to make it myself!

Really really good! Made my own buffalo sauce and dressing to put on it. Added a cheese whiz mixture (milk, nutritional yeast, some vegan cheese slice and shredded vegan cheese) to the soy curls for the cheesey flavor too!

there was a vegan stall at the farmer's market which sold vegan cheesesteaks, and it's buffalo cheesesteak was so good that I tried to learn how to recreate it at home.

Some future notes for myself: I only used 2 servings of soy curls, but honestly I can bump it up to 3 or 4 servings to really fill out the cheesesteak. I should also add more cheese to accommodate. Also, definitely should add more buffalo sauce (I just made my own).

With the possibility of an earlier time through the cancellation list!

Used vegan daiya cheese sauce with nutritional yeast and a lot of seasoning plus some Carbie Diem pasta for the macaroni. The vegan steak is Juicy Marbles. And plus some tripleberry jam on toast.

(They're also already tentatively planning the second surgery to follow up the first!!)

vegan. Animal free egg whites (egg allergen) + just egg for the scrambled eggs. I always disliked scrambled eggs, so this is the first time I've had any in years. Honestly, it tastes exactly like scrambled eggs, so it's kind of mid. And that's some tripleberry jam on the toast.

(Oh, and she said yes.)
