Food Fight

I haven't been in a food fight in a long time. And I'm certainly not advocating that anyone start one, especially when I'm around. I'm more of a slow-food-ist. I like to appreciate and enjoy my food, often because it takes me a long time to make it. It's usually very tasty so it's worth the time, in my opinion.

Someone sent me this video of a "food fight". It's actually stop-motion animation of modern warfare methods using food. The scary thing being how many of those methods you recognize easily. What's wrong with our world that I'm more likely to recognize the bombs than the sausage they are made of?

I've become obsessed with food

Since I've made it my focus I might as well make my blog focus on it too. I will try to post some photos of the dish-delish macro-vegan food that I end up making most nights. Lately it's been take-out and my life is sad. I'm also still living off of the five kinds of vegan cupcakes I made last weekend for my birthday: chocolate, spicy chocolate, dulce sin leche, gingerbread with lemon cream cheese frosting, and green tea. I think the green tea was the most disappointing because the cupcakes sank. The recipe called for soy yogurt and I think the variable amount of moisture in yogurt was the culprit. Though I have no proof of that. I like the gingerbread the best myself. For one because it included crystallized ginger pieces in the batter (which I swear just melted into the cupcake) and because of the cream cheese frosting. That frosting is the only reason I like carrot cake and to be able to make a vegan version is very exciting. My carrot cake life can live on! (Technically I never make carrot cake so this is a short lived life in that respect, but it's nice to know I could if I wanted to.) All these recipes came from the book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World". Highly recommended for the beautiful cupcake photos, if nothing else.
