1. Recipe development, I’ve been working on veganizing a recipe that my friend Kristina gave me. It’s a gluten-free pancake recipe. I ended up with some binding issues, then with some burning issues. I used both the vinegar method and the chia egg method. Then I got frustrated and tried to bake them. Perfection!
Now I have to decide, do I want to keep working on the recipe, or do I want to test a baked pancake recipe. Would anyone else be interested in baked pancakes?
Is it against some kind of pancake law to have vegan pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes baked like cookies?
2. Soup or Compost? I threw together a soup tonight. I had to use up peppers, tomatoes and kale. The tomatoes were getting soft and bruised, the peppers had some wrinkled spots and the kale was withered. A couple more days and they would have ended up in the compost bin. If the recipe turns out I’ll post it soon.
3. I lost my office with a door and moved into a cube with a window. It was a win situation for me. I always found the office to be stuffy. Now I get views like this.
4. A gratuitous picture of my wedding cake. A bunch of my friends and acquaintances on facebook are getting married. I decided to share the cake I had made. Our baker? A stay at home mom who did wedding cakes on the side. She did a great job doing exactly what I asked for.
Of course, back then, I knew nothing about veganism.
5. Half Marathon! This weekend is my first race of my 12.1/2 marathons.12 challenge. I’m racing in the smuttynose paloosa indoor half marathon in Milford, New Hampshire. I’ll be racing in the last race and probably be one of the last to finish. But my goal this year isn’t to run fast… it’s to run lots.
6. Recipage. I’ve started converting all my recipes into a recipage database. It’s going to take a while but I think it’s going to be so much better than what I have now. I’m so excited that the pro-features are free now.
I'm an engineer, an animal lover, a runner and an ex-rower. I like medical devices, big ships and mountains. This is my journey teaching myself to make healthy foods and explore the world of vegan and vegetarian cuisine.
I love your wedding cake – such pretty colors. Pretty colors in your soup too!

I mean, it’s not the world’s most perfect wedding cake (the tiers are uneven). But I never noticed that on the day. It was perfect for my occasion and price range. I was not a very traditional bride. I needed unusual things (like hiking 1/2 mile each way in a corset and wedding gown). If you’re ever interested I could totally make a post about my wedding
Baked pancakes may be the answer to all of my pancake-making problems. You are a genius!
I feel you on the recipage creation – I start converting all of mine and it’s taking FOREVER. So worth it though.
Good luck this weekend!

Good, as long as I’m not being viewed as the village idiot. I think I like the idea.
Are you converting your posts to have the recipage template?
Thanks for the luck, I might need it
