Recipe Time!
Vegetarian Sloppy Joe
1. Go to QFC while hungry and with only a vague idea of what groceries you need since you are out of anything besides stuff to make PB and J sandwiches
2. Buy a brick of tempeh because it is in the vegan/vegetarian section and the picture on the box looks REALLY GOOD
3. Open box and recoil in disgust as you wonder what you got yourself into. Sniff it and realize it isn't so bad
4. Find a reasonably delicious-looking tempeh recipe online for bbq tempeh burgers. It is important to not actually buy or use just about anything in the actual recipe except the tempeh itself. Recipes are vague suggestions that are designed to make you hungry enough to experiment.
5. Rinse, crumble and marinate overnight in some kind of combination of buffalo-sauce marinade and vanilla yogurt (gelatin-free!) because you don't have plain and yogurt sounds like something you should add. Besides, you can hardly taste the vanilla anyway... oh wait.. yes you can. Oh god
6. Put a dab of oil in a pan and throw the crap in there and add some more buffalo sauce because man it tastes pretty good. Cook until you get bored and the mixture looks pretty done enough I guess
7. Get mad because you forgot to buy buns and use regular bread slices that can't handle the sauce and end up getting soggy and falling apart. Eat anyway, realizing that it tastes pretty good and would taste better IF YOU HAD BUNS TO PUT IT ON
