A Quick Howdy-Doo Before I Spend the Evening Scratching my Ass on the Sofa...

OK, first off, I totally suck at answering comments, which I know guarentees me a lifetime spot in the Negligent Blogger Hall of Fame. I suck. And I know it.

SO, to the folks who were asking me if my seitan filet mignon can be frozen, my answer to that is, Who the hell knows??  It never lasts long enough around here to get that far. I CAN tell you that it stays good in the fridge, bathing contentedly in it's salty juices for at least a week, so if you need to make it ahead, you have some wiggle room.

In other news, just wanna remind you all that ME <-------- Not Vegan. As my header ↑ indicates, our diet is only 95% vegan. We don't stress too much about the occasional schmear of egg or dairy in our meat substitutes. I live in the middle of nowhere and I've learned that it ain't worth the pain to be that fussy. So although I knew there was egg in the Quorn, that wasn't going to stop me from giving it the ol' college try. Now in regards to actual eggs, well...I have't had one for almost four years.

We discovered a new vegan snack this Christmas, in a Sobey's store located in a part of Nova Scotia even less veg-friendly than ours. (I didn't think that was even possible!) Check out this new line of Canadian goodies from a new company called EVO....

We went for the Mexicali Samoasas, and they were pretty good, I think....they had a great crispiness to them, weren't greasy, and certainly weren't in any way unpleasant. They seemed to lack the spicy OOMPH we like, but then again, I've discovered that few people like their food as fiery as we do. It's a wonder we have any tastebuds left, come to think of it.

The only downside was the price. At almost nine bucks for eight appetizer-sized samosas, I think that unless I hang out my red light and start making a little cash on the side, it will be a while before we sample any of their other items. Four tiny pot pies cost almost ten bucks. Hell, for ten bucks I can make ten times that and have enough money for a few beer on the side!

Nevertheless, never a bad thing to have more vegan options in the freezer case.

Coming Soon-I think I'm going to get cozy with a zucchini this week. (Har Har.) Actually, it was my Mom's idea, but she's a little sickie. For now though, the sofa beckons. Let the ass cheek scratching commence!

Christmas Is....

...a big honkin' cast iron pan full of hypertension-causing, salty as old hell, white-bread rolls swimming in garlicy margarine and drenched in vegan parm.

Not to mention shlepping around the house in a twelve-dollar fake fur camo hat that makes you look like an escaped mental patient. Wearing no makeup adds to the effect...

I say if you're going to abuse the ol' bod at some point during the year, and humiliate yourself by looking ridiculous, this sure is the time. Merry Christmahannakwanaa, you bastards!

(Cheers! Where's the red wine, anyway...?)

Christmas Apathy...with a Dollop of Mycoprotein!

OMG, I haven't blogged in a month! What's up with that? Well, nothing special really, except that I've been going through a period of serious drop-ass-itis. I basically have felt no motivation to do anything whatsoever, except perhaps sit in front of my fire reading gory novels. One morning, I even put my panties on backwards and didn't have the energy to fix them. I wore them backwards all day. Bet you can't beat that level of lethargy!

Not that we're not having a great time around here. I've been having a blast playing with our new kitty. Pricey is what we like to call a Travelling Kitty. Here he is investigating the sink at Grandma's. (He also fell in the toilet shortly after that but I'll spare you that particular photo....)

We've also been groovin' on some Quorn products that we brought back from Maine, like this "chicken fingers."

I must say, I'm quite jealous of all you fine folks in the US of A who get to buy them all the time. The price is a little steep but as a meat substitute, I think I've never eaten better.

The only thing that's off-putting is reading the back of the box to find out just what the hell we were eating. MYCOPROTEIN??? Yech. Sound like something I scrape from the drip tray under my refrigerator.

Anyway, I was very much put off from blogging for a while as Blogger was being a bitch in regards to posting pictures. Still seems to be the case but I managed to git 'r done this time anyway.

I've got big plans for the new year, so be sure to pop by in about a week so I can tell you all about it. I'll give you a hint: It involves a free trip for two and a whole lot of sinnin'!

Merry Christmas everyone! Peace on earth to all creatures.
