Muffins
Today is a day off. I went to the bank, walked through some Asian supermarkets, and made muffins. Generally a grand day, aside from the foolish venture into the supermarket. Animal products abounding in all forms. I guess every supermarket is like that. I have been keeping away from most of the big named grocery stores, instead venturing to the vegan friendly Community Natural Foods. Not only does it have one of the greatest selections of natural and excellent food items, it also boasts the biggest bulk selection in the city. I was very hungry when I arrived back home after the momentary foolishness and so I decided that I would have a quick lunch of potatoes and hummus, then get on with the muffin making.
I just tried one, and they are delicious.
Two days ago was the first occasion that I really wanted an animal product. I don't know what triggered it, and I have been doing alright as far as my desire for things like meat and cheese, but something made me crave it. I really wanted a beef burger, with a big slice of cheese, and a beer. Yep, apparently that's my dream meal. So instead of buying cheese what did I buy? Nutritional yeast. Apparently, and I can vouch for this, it has an almost cheesy taste. I use the word cheesy loosely due to the fact that it is cheesy in the sense that KD is cheesy. In fact, it smells just like the PC branded KD ripoff. Who knew. I will attempt to make a "cheese" sauce with this new nutritious find and thus be cured of my need for cheese, or hope that it will cure me in any case.
Desert island top five things I craved this past Wednesday:
Cheese
Eggs
Yogurt
Butter
Cappuccino
Today the feeling has subsided a little. My mouth still waters at the sight of a burg, or at a piece of brie, but I know where not to go, the supermarket, and I should be alright.
