and thanks Rainbow :)

^ I don't normally like sweet and sour but I'd totally eat that! :)

[FaerieSuzy]

and finally, banoffee cupcakes :D

Oh goodness me *drool*. Wow! Are you willing to share any recipes? Are those chocolate chips on top of the banoffee cupcakes, or toffee pieces? If the latter, where did you buy them or how did you make them? They look sooooo good!

[FaerieSuzy]

http://www.newvegantable.com/2009/10/vegan-toffee/ was where I got the toffee from, then I just broke it into little chips to put on top. :) and I just used a mashed banana in a normal cupcake recipe and some leftover banana nesquik powder in the icing (these were made in my very early days!) which I'm not 100% sure is vegan so I never used it after that.

[rainbow]

A vegan toffee recipe! Awesome! And it doesn't look too difficult either so I will definitely try that! Is the end result chewy or brittle?
Thanks!

Looking good FaerieSuzy, Risker and Firestorm :lol: :thumbsup:

Firestorm- what exactly is Khobez?

Firestorm- what exactly is Khobez?

They are flat breads, Hollyland (http://www.hollylandbakery.com/about_khobez.asp) sell theirs in Sainsburys, kind of like pitta breads but bigger!

Ma po tofu with sesame noodles.

[leela]

The tofu looks yummy, whats the sauce made of? if you don't mind me asking

[Barry]

Not at all! I used this recipe - http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/the-temporary-vegetarian-vegan-ma-po-tofu/

(http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/the-temporary-vegetarian-vegan-ma-po-tofu/)I didn't follow it exactly but it was really lovely. Next time I'm gonna make it hotter, I wimped out and only used one tablespoon of hot bean paste!

Edit: I also used firm tofu instead of silken cause I don't really like silken in savoury dishes.

[leela]

“Ma Po tofu is supposed to bring sweat to your face, and numbness to your mouth”

I can see why you took it easy with the hot bean paste!
Thanks for the link Barry, I will definitely try this.

A few more, then I'll take a breather before uploading cupcake photos from two charity bake-sales I did in September (if people like photos of vegan cupcakes?).

Meal from Bamboo Garden, Seattle. Spring roll, special fried rice, chow mein and something the name of which I forget but which was very tasty (dumplings, broccoli and carrot). Was a bit heavy and far too much food for one meal, but they gave me a take away box and it kept me going for three meals!

[fondducoeur]

Everyone's food looks great! I especially like the looks of the Banoffee cupcakes, the ma po tofu, and that mouth-watering lasagne verdi!

[amethyst]

Sigh... Hungry again. Happens everytime I come in here! :rolleyes:

[DiaShel]

That is my kind of porridge!

[amethyst]

OK. I have been wanting to ask this for weeks, but I have not, due to possible embarrassment for asking what is probably obvious to everyone else. What grain is porridge made from? Is it oats, like what Americans call oatmeal? If not, please enlighten me, because it looks REALLY good. Jealousy about those yummy photos has forced me to ask! My Irish, English, Scottish, and French ancestors are probably rolling in their graves right now, disgusted with my silliness. LOL

[Risker]

^ You're right, oats/oatmeal.

[amethyst]

Thanks Risker :)
