jerk.

May 8, 2007

One reason I started this blog right now is because I’m leaving for Europe this weekend and will be gone for 2 1/2 weeks. Okay, it doesn’t really make sense to create a blog days before you temporarily abandon it… but in terms of the food, it makes sense to me. I haven’t been buying anything and therefore only using what I have around.

I needed to use my tofu, carrots, and green bell pepper. So I made the Jerk Seitan from Vegan with a Vengeance into Jerk Tofu.

It’s a flexible recipe, so I made some substitutions… served it with jasmine rice and carrots. Spiiicy.

I caved in and made a vegan food blog. I know there are lots of them now, but I hope to have a new take on it. This blog will be about making/eating cheap but delicious food (my own experience with it, plus tips and recipes). So even if your income isn’t as small as mine, you can save up to go to Millenium.

I figure nachos are a good place to start. (I also figured I should start using capital letters.)

Simple enough. Our friends brought over burrito ingredients on Cinco de Mayo and left some of them, not including the tortillas, for me to use. So the next day, I emptied my bag of chips, poured on some refried beans, made the nacho cheese sauce from The Uncheese Cookbook, and threw on some guacamole and salsa.
