Woohoohoo Obama, a scramble and smiley cheeze casserole

A huge sigh of relief and major excitement about Obama! Since the debates, I knew he was going to win, but now that it's a done deal, it's the best feeling.


Last night I made a tofu scramble from Vegan with a Vengeance. I added in a lot of zucchini and red peppers. I fried up the leftover mashed potatoes and made toast. A pretty good dinner. You can even see the steam from the scramble.

Tonight I'm taking another class, so I made Andy a mac and cheeze casserole using cheddar Teese. Teese sure smells gross, much better when it's been cooked. I made a basic roux. Added in fried mushrooms, garlic and onions. Then added in nutritional yeast, mustard and peas. Topped it with bread crumbs and these cute cheezy crackers. He never reads this at work, so it will be a surprise. Though probably not because I told him last night that I might make one. Though he won't guess that I didn't suck down the extra pasta and instead I made him a "pasta bucket" to take to work tomorrow. "Pasta bucket" is his lovely name for pasta with some sort of sauce in tupperware.

This pic of the Judge reminds me of mac 'n cheeze because it looks like a big fluffy pile of greasy cheeze. I call any blanket or bed that keeps those cats off of me a worm babysitter. This one is particularly successful.

BAD CAT NEWS FLASH: Chippy was sitting on the coffee table and he just puked off it onto my hat. Gotta love those cats. Still doesn't beat the time Kitten puked into a bag that had my all my bills in it. I wonder what the people at the receiving end of those bills thought..

Voting, pizza and other stuff

Today is the big day! I'm going to go and vote shortly.

On saturday, I went to the Seattle vegan meetup, which was at Kitaro, a Japanese restaurant. I ate a ton of sushi of which I forgot to take pics (as usual). There was a good turnout and I had a lot of fun. I'm getting psyched for the Thanksgiving potluck, though I haven't settled on what to make yet. If you're in Seattle on TG and don't have plans, consider attending.


We went to Pizza Pi on the way home. They have a new item on their menu, Cheezeburger Pizza. I've heard of it before a long time ago, but never had one or knew what it was about. It's really good and would be easy to recreate for those of you that don't live in Seattle. Bake a pizza with cheeze and fake hamburger on it - no sauce. Then put chopped up lettuce, onion, tomato, ketchup and mustard on top & your'e done. A co-worker of Andy's suggested pickles which makes total sense to me. Anyhow, you have to try this. The substandard pics don't do it justice, but I had to show you what it looks like because it is a strange and wonderful creation.

The owners of Pizza Pi and another couple bought the Wayward Cafe. We haven't been yet, but will do so soon.

We used the recipes from the Southern Cooking class to make some biscuits, gravy and smoky collards. Delicious! The recipes turned out just like they did in class, so you know Dawnula did an awesome job creating them. Woohoo! We brought them to some friends that recently had a baby. He is such a cute baby!

Speaking of cute babies, I saw this pic on the camera that I had to share. My guess is that Chippy was there first and Peepa invaded his space. Peepa is the ultimate space invader that doesn't have boundaries!!! Just ask Tubs.
