I made this cake for my daughter's 15th birthday. It turned out great and was delicious. This is the recipe I used, https://www.gonnawantseconds.com/wprm_print/15878#
And then... Had a Korean invasion of Ireland, wow, this was a great combo.
For supper I made colcannon for the first time, spicy Korean eggplant and BBQ pork cutlets. Whew it was great and I am stuffed.
I made cheesy cauliflower balls today and they were great. Especially enjoyed the bottom of them because as they baked the cheese got crispy on the baking sheet. Used the food processor to break down the cauliflower and cheese, a real time saver. Added bacon to theses, chefs kiss to that haha.

I always understood it was a powerful audio player but, I could never figure it out. Rhythmbox just works and gets out of the way 🤷♂️
Made an awesome dish this afternoon of spicy Korean eggplant. It was a hit! The eggplant was nice and creamy, and the sauce had a nice heat to it. I'll definitely be making this again, and it's so cheap to make, which is also a win.
Recipe that I used is from here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXK7vc-Z7A
This is basically the lentil flat bread, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZTjR5OKBO8&ab_channel=FoodWishes I add more seasonings like cilantro, some paprika, or powdered onion and garlic. It isn't something that is good the next day.
I use this for my falafel, https://cookieandkate.com/crispy-falafel-recipe/ but, I soak my chickpeas for 2 days on the counter and never used the cinnamon.
I made baked falafel with red lentil flat bread for the wrap. I baked them just because it's easier then frying all these for a family but, still they are delicious. The lentil wraps are great with it as well. Honestly, 7-10 years ago if you told me that some of my favorite meals to make would be plant based.... I'd chuckle and dismiss it. I mean I still enjoy cooking meat but, yeah plants make super satisfying, cravable meals.
Wow! That is great, those look amazing. I hope they enjoy it and keep it up because they look like they know what they are doing. 👏👏👏
Kidney stones, no?
Oh yeah, I think chillies would be great, add a nice warmth to the soup. It probably would work nice. I like the idea.
It's about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It's butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it.
I used my own veggie broth for this. I didn't have red curry paste so I just used some powders I use for curries with a little extra paprika.
Here is the recipe I used for this.
I got to make this based off of 1990s UpperDeck hockey cards. Our city Council took this photo of them in our local Jr A hockey jerseys to show support during the teams playoffs run. I used GIMP and inkscape to make this.
It's chickpea flour, water, salt, black pepper, oil, rosemary and onions
It was a mix between https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe/ and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vKnzKb60C4&t=3
This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It's simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.
The aquarium is amazing, wish we had budgeted more time for it. The facility it is at has a whole days worth of activity there. The Olive Mill is a pretty good pace to check out as well, specially if you like olive oil. I wanted to go, but didn't have time to visit Heard Museum.
Yeah, there was a nice period when Pidgin could easily handle all the chats. Then providers siloed their apps 🫤
Made it with my own vegetable broth as well. It turned out great, would definitely make this again. Just didn't have cilantro and missed that.
This evening I made a curry that had mango yogurt in it and rather than making rice I made baked lentil balls, haha there is a better name for them, right? Something like kofte? Anyhow this dish was extremely affordable, packed with veggies and flavour.
Hahaha, I made breaded BBQ tofu bites.
I came across this recipe for basic white bread (what the recipe called it), is a nice sandwich bread. Not to crumby and firm pain in taste. But it's easy and cheap to make.
I didn't take pictures but used the dough from the other loaf to make cinnamon rolls, got ate too quickly.
Thank you! It was very yummy. One thing about this recipe worth noting is that it makes like double the frosting seen.
