food!
i posted a lot of food pictures to flickr tonight but will share some of the most recent ones here. fall is here and my favorite way to mark it is to eat autumnal foods.
a savory pie i made up. you should try it. it's vegan except for the puff pastry. i think it would be good with a vegan pie crust. layer roasted butternut squash and garlic pureed with sage, lots of slices of tofurky, chopped up swiss chard (i used 3 leaves and really any green would be good), toasted walnuts and dried cranberries, then the crust. bake at 400 for 25 minutes.
cauliflower and peas baked in a bechamel sauce, mashed yams and yellow potatoes, brussel sprouts sauteed in garlic butter.
roasted green tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, white onions, and garlic with rosemary. the puff pastry crescents are filled with a mixture of dubliner cheddar and dried cranberries and herbs. they look like cylons.
an apple stuffed with apple bits mixed with cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg, topped with puff pastry.
(so, basically, i got a package of frozen puff pastry and used it slowly)
butternut squash and cashew soup with homemade potato bread.
other fall foods philip and i have made recently that i forgot to take pictures of:
miso soup (for getting-sick weather)
apple crisp
pear-ginger jam
black bean soup
persimmon muffins
roasted apple butter
shepherd's pie with homemade seitan
potato and spinach casserole with kale on the side
sweet potato and spinach curry
a few rounds of biscuits and gravy
lentil soup
now that the weather has actually turned cold i don't feel quite so out of place fattening myself up for winter.
