Strawberry Whip It

I tried to make this strawberry whip. I used a hand mixer instead of a blender but I don't think it would have made a whole lot of difference. BLECH! It KINDA tasted like strawberry's on top of cottage cheese, which I like...not the texture I was looking for.....not eating more of that!

Spices

I am quickly loosing interest in salt. There are too many other spices that are a lot more interesting. I'm sure that salt is important for preserving, etc, but Rosemary and Thyme are a little more exciting to my taste buds.
Today I made a vegan potato soup. I think if I would have used fresh herbs it would have tasted a bit more springy. Today has been so cold and rainy I felt like soup was in order. I threw in some dried herbs. It was a lighter soup than you are probably used to but it was filling.
I have been craving sweet all day, so I went to the store and bought some dried apples and fruit leathers...what I really want is a HUGE box of fresh chocolate truffles...*sigh*  Tomorrow I'll be making a strawberry whip with tofu for dessert.

Tofu Chili

Was Better the second day. The texture didn't bother me so much. I keep forgetting to put the avacodo in though. I made Asparagus (I <3 Asparagus) for dinner today. The Recipe called for salt. I added salt but didn't like it as much as the pure flavors that were already in there.

Adventures in Tofu

I HATE Tofu. I think it tastes like...oh wait pretty sure it doesn't even have a taste. But the texture is even worse than not having a taste. It's like Tasteless jello and it looks like what you skim off the top of REDICULOUSLY old milk.

So! I'm going "more than Vegan" for a bit. Tofu is in a lot of Vegan Recipes. Therefore I am going to have to experiment with the Tofu. (Remind me to take a picture of my action figures Tofu and Bacon and Post them on here.)

Tomorrow begins the adventure. Slower Cooker Vegan Chili...w/ Tofu.

Let the Adventure Begin!!!!
Pretty Sure this is  Made of Tofu
