Home cooking



I didn't think we'd end up cooking while in MN but we did quite well. We made one dinner and a lovely brunch while surviving restaurants that had no vegetarian options whatsoever.

Friday night we made baked tofu from the Millennium cookbook, blackened asparagus made in the broiler, a German red cabbage and apple dish, and a kale and carrots stir-fry served with brown basmati rice.



Saturday night we ate at a local Italian restaurant that had a delicious dish of roasted brussel sprouts with local honey. Some people in our party thought it was too sweet but I thought it was worth considering. Sunday was at a fancy fish/meat restaurant. I managed to get one that at least came with vegetables. I'm not sure what people would do if they ate at places like that all the time.

Sunday for brunch we recreated our classic vegan pancakes with tofu scramble, tempeh bacon and fresh strawberries and raspberries.



After that it was mini-bags of salty peanuts and a late night burrito in the city of fog.
