Hehehe I have no idea what a dingdong is either but it looks good, and the carrot cupcake is beautiful.

Anyway I'm going to post the General Tao's and Pad Thai recipes before Cedar shouts again!!

I eat cake and pies. I don't know how to cook them.

I do know how to eat them!

[Enchantress]

Did your wife make them? If so you could ever so sweetly ask her for the recipe(s) and post them here .

Ding Dongs we buy from "Big City Small World Bakery" in Ann Arbor Michigan on Miller St between Main and Seventh. If you drive over, I'll show you!

[Enchantress]

*Jumps in car and drives over to Ann Arbor*.

Erm, I just remembered there's a rather large ocean in the way, and also that I can't drive or swim. Help!

[xrodolfox]

Everything ever made in this building should be pictured in this thread.

Oh so true.
In that spirit, my folks got me this cake from Chicago Diner (they sell it at Whole Foods in Michigan), for my birthday. Vegan German Chocolate Cake. OMFG. Half was eaten before I could take a photo. It's almost all gone less than a week later due to midnight snacking.

[Cup'O'Tea]

Hahaha, to be honest, that cake looks gross (just because it's not what it looks like) I bet it's amazing though.

[harpy]

Agreed - but a lot of food close-ups look gross don't they? I suppose one normally doesn't look that closely at one's food before hurling it down the hatch

[Roxy]

In the first photo, I thought it was a heaping of melted grated cheese and beans surrounded by mashed potato However seeing the rest of the photos, I feel like I'd like to have a slice of that cake!

[Cup'O'Tea]

Extremely easy to make, and incredibly good and healthy!!!



Black beans, corn, onion, green pepper, tomato and tex mex seasoning in a whole wheat pita, with baby carrots and cucumber on the side.
Ah simplicity. That was a good lunch.

[xrodolfox]

Wow. That look delicious!

[xrodolfox]

vegan kung pao soy skin roll with deep fried vegan spring roll
(at a restaurant in Ann Arbor MI)

Orange Sue Pao at the same restaurant... almost finished because I forgot to take pictures before we ate it!

[xrodolfox]

Wild White Strawberries from Chile.
According to my cousins, all strawberries originate from Chile, they were originally white. These strawberries are delicious, and sweeter, and softer than the red ones commercially availble. However, they go "bad" really really quick, and aren't suitable for travel. If you go to Chile, you can get some! It's worth the ticket!

[Cup'O'Tea]

Today's Lunch:
Whole wheat penne with zucchini primavera sauce, red onion, white mushrooms, yellow peppers, spinach and yves veggie meatballs. Mmmmmmmmm.

[tipsy]

Did your wife make them? If so you could ever so sweetly ask her for the recipe(s) and post them here .

theres a recipe in vegan with a vengance for the dingdong style cupcakes!

i do belive they call them fauxstess cupcakes (after hostess, the dingdong brand)



the recipe takes mucho time and effort, but man, is it worth it to see the looks on peoples faces! (***you MADE these!!!***)

[sugarmouse]

Wow! HOw ace does allthat looklol.
I wish and wish I had poseted a pic of the 'cheese' and potato pasties I made.They were huuuuuuggge! I forgot pastry expanded when it cooked.lol
They were mega pasties.
Scruffyhead awas impressed though, he said they were perfect, 'I am drunk and need food' post pub snack!lol

[Cup'O'Tea]

Oh man, pasties. The best part of my vacation to Cornwall >_<

[cedarblue]

Hahaha, to be honest, that cake looks gross (just because it's not what it looks like) I bet it's amazing though.

i disagree - i think it looks gooey and yummy

[xrodolfox]

^ Peanut Butter Pie my wife made



^vegan Tuno casserole the day after as leftovers. I love it! It lasted for 32 hours total.

^oooooh

[xrodolfox]

Today's Lunch:
Whole wheat penne with zucchini primavera sauce, red onion, white mushrooms, yellow peppers, spinach and yves veggie meatballs. Mmmmmmmmm.

That looks DELICIOUS! I love pasta.

Although, I'd eat like 5 or 6 of those helpings before desert. Are you on a diet?

[jamboxrock]

I've been wanting to make a Tuno casserole! Looks great.

Just had this for lunch:



veggie & sesame fried rice, steamed baby bok choy & edamame

I don't make fried rice very often (only when I happen to have rice leftover from Chinese takeout, which is rare), but I dare say this was my best so far.

Wow. That looks perfect! I think I might go out and have third lunch and order some vegan fried rice right now!

[Guacamole Gal]

I can't believe I've only just discovered this thread but I'm only too happy to admit I've spent the whole day ooh-ing and ahh-ing over each and every pic all day!!

Seriously, ALL of you people appear to be the most wonderful cooks....EVER.. If you all banded together to open a restaurant I think I would seriously move to the States once and for all.

Question: If I come and eat at your heavenly establishment every single day (which I would) do you think I'd sooner or later qualify for special "customer loyality" benefits such as extra slices of Pumkin Pie?....Please?...No, really, pleeeeaaase?!

[BlackCats]

This was really nice! pasta with olives and roasted veg with salad and wine

[jamboxrock]

Mmmmm Aphrodite, if I liked olives I would definitely eat that

Those dishes are really cute. Do you know where they're from?

[BlackCats]

I think they were from a really cheap shop here in the UK - "Wilkinson's". I think they were about £1-2 a plate/bowl.
I think they are quite nice though - nothing wrong with economising.

[Honest_Goodbye]

My first homemade pizza...


Some bombay potato with rice type thing!


Potato curry


Fruit bowl


Another simple fruit thing with melted dark choc

[Honest_Goodbye]

Cake!


And choc cake

Just to reiterate, I really WILL come and eat at this co-op restaurant that I've dreamt up in my head, EVERYDAY...if you're all kind enough to open it...But having now seen the UK's efforts too, praps I won't have an excuse to move? Every single person on here appears to be an absolute star chef!

Yum, yum, yum, YUM!!

[RubyDuby]

Honest Goodbye-- what did u use for cheese on that pizza? It looks so good. its all bubbly n stuff.

btw, jamboxrox- we love the cheese recipe from ur pizza. its great as a spread.

[Marrers]

Dessert at Candle 79 in NY


Peanut butter bomb cake in TeaNY (the lump on the top is full of peanut butter flavoured 'cream')

[Guacamole Gal]

Yum!!

All I got was a raspberry-lime rickey (from teaNY)....You've given me the perfect incentive to go back.....Did you try any of their savoury stuff? Hmm..all this delicious foody eye porn is making me think I should go cook my dindins now
