The end of November, and the end of VeganMoFo, is officially upon us. I wish I could say I had a delicious recipe like pumpkin pie fudge to share with you, but it appears that our building manager has taken an extended vacation, and I think my package from Pangea is sitting in the office. Though truth be told, my kitchen is such a mess right now I couldn’t cook anything, or bake, or even put peanut butter on a piece of bread right now because every inch of my counter has been taken over by dirty dishes and ingredients waiting to be placed back in the pantry. Sigh. I need a cleaning fairy to come look after me. Any volunteers?
In lieu of posting a recipe, or reviewing a cookbook, I think I will just take a moment to reflect on this past month. I’ve been introduced to some great blogs via VeganMoFo and looked at way to much food porn; made soups, kale chips, purple shepherd's pie, and one masterpiece of a tofurkey bake. Shared food with friends, drank copious amounts of Market Spice tea, enjoyed the food and drinks at the Highline a little too much, ate vegan Pizza from Z Pizza, and generally had a blast with food. As we head out of November, I’m pretty proud of getting 23 posts up this month, and I can’t wait to blog, and read blogs, for VeganMoFo 2011. Until then, y’all know I will continue sharing my food and crafting adventures, as well as an occasional rant, here at Kitsch & Kitchen, and since it is my last VeganMoFo 2010 post, I finally decided to get on the MoFo bandwagon and full out that damned survey that’s been making the rounds (it’s beneath the cut). And that’s that. Peace out fellow MoFo’ers!
P.S.– Have fun baking this holiday season, but avoid overzealous use of nutmeg in those baked goods, unless you want deranged pre-teens busting down your door in search of the latest high. Happy Holidays, Bitches!
