Whoa, just spent WAY too long trying to get into the blog. (I forgot my username AND my password. Duhhhh.)
Okay, so you want to see a really messed up kitchen?



Ahhh. Nice. Now on to the cooking!
Everyone in our house is going to attempt a mostly vegan diet, with Mom and Dad able to eat non-fat dairy and egg whites. (I'll probably eat egg whites, too, but I'm gonna stay away from dairy.) So we've been having lots of fun at our vegan cooking classes and shopping for vegan foods.
Last night, I cooked this stuff.



If you go to Quorn's Website, and if you read enough, you will eventually discover that it's, basically, err... fungus.
Ick.
But so are mushrooms, I said, so just get over it!
The product is not strictly vegan, by the way (it has egg whites in it).
So I cooked half an onion and some garlic and then added the... um... let's just call it fungus, okay? So the package said not to overcook it, so I added it to the pan last.

In the meantime, back at the inn...

I had a pot of pasta and spaghetti sauce cooking (yes, out of a jar, who do you think I am?!). After the fungus was cooked, I mixed it all together.
And you know what? It was really, really good.
I tasted the fungus before I added it to the sauce, and it tasted like ground beef. This is good stuff, folks!! (I ate the leftovers twice today, they were so good!)


In other news, we had delicious 'sausage gravy' at cooking class last week, so we bought a roll of the Gimme Lean sausage grounds(Gimme Lean... get it, get it?). Mom and I decided to have waffles and sausage for dinner.
(When you shape the grounds into patties, make sure your hands are oiled, cause this stuff is STICKY.)

Voila. 'Sausage.'


And whole wheat waffles. (From a mix, yes... sigh.)


A successful week, I'd say.
Oh, a couple of more things:

Go buy this. It's awesome.


And this, too.
