Friends,
Today was a challenging one, plain and simple. A tough time tutoring my precious first-grade Study Buddy, a big project at work, and two hours immersed in the wholly unfamiliar–new clothes shopping–made for a sleepy, headachey Adrienne come dinnertime. Appropriately, I chose make an easy meal of TVP tacos and guacamole for my partner and myself. Good choice, right?
Except it doesn’t stop there. I couldn’t bear the thought of letting the first day of VeganMoFo pass without trying something new, something daring, something unusually delicious. I’m supposed to be blogging about whatever the heck I’m doing, after all, so why not do something interesting? And so I decided, in the eleventh hour, to try out the Angel Food vegan marshmallow kit I purchased several weeks ago from Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe.
I shan’t give a full report here–just know that even though it is for a different recipe, reading the Open Source marshmallow recipe before getting started is a great idea; that you’ll probably gum up whatever device you’re using to mix it, possibly rendering said device permanently unusable; that it may yield vastly less than you’d intended (and hoped!); and that, when all is said and done, your fingers and face may be so sticky that you consider making another batch on Halloween and just going as a marshmallow-fluff-covered-mess. Except that you actually won’t be able to make another batch, because you’ve just destroyed your kitchen in the process.
glad to see you’re challenging yourself, that is the best part of vegan mofo.
sorry you didn’t like the marshmallows so much, i made them in april and had so much fun. i learned that some of the instructions call for too much water, but a half cup or so, i wonder if you got those too?
anyway, i can’t wait to see what marshmallow fluff looks like on your ceiling!
