Gettin' the tiny skillet out, along with a bit of my previously, lightly sauteed veggies, along with some eventual baby kale & a diced Roma tomato & some Go Veggie shreds & maybe a snipped green onion if I feel like it.... :rolleyes:
Makin' my current favorite sammich in the universe!! :jump: I think I only have enough of Heather's red pepper almond "mayo" for one more before I need to get another jar. But in the meantime.... :dance:

How was the mozzerella? I've marked recipes like this-
Individual Vegan Margherita Pizzas with Homemade Fresh Moxarella Cheese
would you eat it on crackers? add herbs like basil?
but never got around to it.
I want to play with the cheddar recipe. Less oil, less garlic, add miso and nooch

Good, but disappointing at the same time. The taste is very good but the texture is nothing like Mozzarella. It's not stringy at all. It's more spreadable so, definitely, you can eat it on crackers and even add herbs to it. If I still had access to decent tomatoes it would be good in a sandwich or salad, but it's pretty soft. Oddly, I did not enjoy it on my pizza and yet I'm thinking it would make a nice addition to my tofu ricotta. I think I would make it again. I'm wondering if I can freeze it. I made four small blocks of it. Maybe I'll sacrifice one and try it.
 
^ Oh no, pineapple on pizza is delish!:) I didn't take a pic this time.:D

Blehh... :yuck: I didn't even like it when I still ate fruit. And for the last few years, I haven't eaten or craved ANY sweets. And I don't eat fruit... well, except for lots of tomatoes, avocados, beans, nuts, etc.... :rolleyes:

Ha-ha-ha, I just thought I could make a "fruit salad".... beans, tomato, avocado, squash, cucumber.... LOL :p

I'm makin' plans.... plans to buy TWO more boxes (4 pouches each) of Fresh Cab Botanical Rodent Repellent at Ace Hardware.

And maybe plans to borrow Little Cat for a sleep-over soon. I'd have to bring my old carrier & get a can of food & a disposable litter box.... I'll think about it. Maybe closer to X-mas since I'll be alone here & it'll be MUCH colder outside....

OMG that cashew cheddar spread is delicious! The addition of coconut oil, although much less than the original recipe! makes it so cheese- ball like! I added a big spoon to the middle of some bean soup/chili for lunch today and it was better than what i remember cheese on chili was like! So Happy!
I will be tweaking it more

Coffee.

And I go kind of obsessive old-school.... purified water brought ALMOST to boiling (200 degrees F is optimal, no hotter), fresh ground beans (not ground too long 'cuz that'll heat the beans & cause bitterness), unbleached filters in the Melitta cone, glass carafe.... Been making coffee this way since I've been drinking coffee. LOL :p

I've been thinking about getting that one! I boxed up my big 12 cup maker, and have since used an old wire mesh sieve with a filter, over my BIG mug!
Is the Melita plastic? I wondered about that. I also consider a fine mesh metal filter drip cone
You say 'almost' boiling? Like when you first hear the murmurs of the kettle?
I also have a french press but I hate getting out all the grounds. Most likely will store it when I don;t want to go outside to empty it in the compost!
 
Dam. I want a big cup of coffee now....
I made tofu that I cubed, sprinkled with Braggs, then shook in a bag of seasoned cornstarch and lightly fried in a very hot cast iron. In a ceramic pan I sauteed mushrooms, onions, and celery.
I was going to make a sauce but since I fried the tofu I had as is. one of my favorites!

I want fried tofu AND coffee now.

I can't give up making coffee in my $5 French press. I haven't used the Keurig in weeks. I miss the convenience though. The French press takes a good 15 minutes...torture when you're dying for a cup of coffee.

How's that ? Mine takes a few minutes and it makes an excellent brew.

Check the site, they have ALL sorts & sizes to choose from... filter cones in plastic (never had a problem with either the large or single-cup ones), or ceramic, whatever... all sizes & sorts of filters to match, even compostable bamboo filters!! :)

Home - The flavor of Europe in every cup - Melitta

And I guess you'd have to do like I did & get used to when to turn the heat off the water. I learned if it's boiling it can scorch the grounds & cause more bitterness. You can always let it cool down a bit first. Several times I even dug out one of the old glass meat thermometers & put it in the hot water to make sure.... they obviously won't be used for meat anymore. LOL :p
