While I was waiting for the beans to cook I threw some apple juice, frozen mangos, matcha powder and ice in to the blender. Incredibly refreshing.
From the New Kitchen Traditions cookbook, Filthy and Fun Beans and Rice. I couldn’t find any decent avocados so I left them out.
If you have one, use a spork, as it it the most appropriate tool for eating beans.
Yesterday Emily’s father brought me some of his homemade olives. He picked and cured them himself, flavouring them with garlic (so much garlic) and red chillies. Immediately I thought of putting them in pasta. So, tonight I puréed them with tofu, more garlic, olive oil, almond milk, sautéed onions, nutritional yeast, basil, oregano, and tamari. This process resulted in one of the best (IMHO) vegan Alfredo sauces I’ve ever tasted.
If you haven’t ever played with [Wolfram|Alpha](http://www.wolframalpha.com), you should. You can use it for generating all kinds of interesting data. I searched ingredients to recipes I make frequently. Above is the nutritional info for a great protein rich drink. For some reason I couldn’t get it to recognize just cocoa, or almond milk, so I approximated it by selecting 30g of almonds instead of almond milk, and 1 cup of hot cocoa instead of a tbsp of pure cocoa powder.
I drink it cold, but it would make a pretty wicked hot chocolate drink.
I made beer battered tofu using organic whole wheat flour, Half Pints little scrapper ipa, chili powder, smoked paprika, coriander, mustard powder, salt and pepper. The sandwich was finished using a whole wheat bun, Veganaise, Organic Ville tangy BBQ sauce, and Daiya vegan cheddar cheese.
More proof that factory farming is detrimental to public health.

I skimmed through many of my recipe books today until I decided on this recipe from Nava Atlas’ Vegan Express.
I should have taken a photo prior to applying the condiments, however, here’s what you’re looking at.
