We went to a superbowl party yesterday at my grandma's house. The woman is 97 years old and she is more into football than any of us. It was kind of weird, her level of commitment. Anyway, my brother did the food schlepping and he was kind enough to order me a vegan pizza. I think I've commented about vegan pizza before- it's a lot like bruschetta, and not really worth the cost. I will have to take back that comment. Good vegan pizza is actually really tasty, and almost adequately scratches that pizza itch. You can't really replace the cheesy gooey salty fatty that a slice of pepperoni pizza gives you, but a good vegan pizza fills a different, equally tasty niche. I did discover today that the biggest problem with a cheese-less pizza is that you really have to handle it differently. without the cheese to hold everything together, your leftover pizza lunch toppings will slide off your pizza crust, leaving you with a plastic container full of toppings and a totally naked crust.
I also made some chocolate macaroons yesterday that totally knocked my socks off. Same for sweets- in fact he told me that I could make him that recipe for his birthday. I found the recipe on The Post Punk Kitchen- another fantastic resource for my fellow vegans in training. mmmmm. tasty.
Now that the challenge is over, I'm sort of wishing I had that same structure to the content of my blog. I liked writing about just the vegan thing, but now that I'm here, I'm worried that it's going to get kind of old kind of fast. So I'll still be writing because I like the whole writing part, but don't always expect to read about my stomach. I might surprise you sometime with a crazy story about mass transit. or about my kids. Kind of like when I used to post regularly, actually.
