From the Kundalini Yoga Cookbook, I made 'Yogic Apple Crumble Pie', which was really more of a cake. This cookbook is all about working with your hands, so the measurements are in pinches and handfulls. I had Andy pour the stuff into my hands, since they got pretty sticky after I measured the brown sugar.
The cake is 5 apples, grated. Then mix in 4 handfulls of oats, a handful of brown sugar, a handful of soy milk, a handful of grated coconut, a handful of vegetable oil, and a handful of chopped nuts. Then press it into a pan (springform would work best) and bake at 180/350 for a half hour. Here's ours, served with some frozen mango.
From the Vegetarian Society's Health and Vitality cookbook, it was breakfast for dinner. 'Healthy hashbrowns with rashers and grilled tomatoes'. The hashbrowns are parboiled, grated potatoes that are baked. Maybe it's my oven, but they didn't brown up at all. (That's why they are practically glowing in the photo.) Next time I'll fry them, and erase the word healthy. The tofu rashers were super yummy, though! I marinated them for two days in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, vinegar, and paprika. They baked with the hashbrowns, as did the tomatoes.
And finally, from the Accidental Vegan, Kedgeree, or Middle Eastern lentils and rice. I used slightly different veggies than she did, and rather than using cumin powder I used seeds which I 'popped' a la Alternative Vegan. At the end, it seemed to dry, so I mixed in some diced tomatoes.

Now, some of you have asked for Andy's recipes. I'll be honest: he doesn't use them. It's a little frustrating, actually, that he can just wing it and get damn tasty food. But anyways, the polenta pie was basically the recipe from the new Vegan Voice with the addition of gravy. For the gravy, he soaked some dried mushrooms in water, then drained them and kept the water. He made a roux with some nuttlex and flour, then mixed in the mushroom liquid, and a scoop of vegemite mixed into a cup or so of water. Then he stirred and let it thicken. That was poured over some minced sauteed veggies and layered between polenta. Voila!

Theresa, the food looks yum--and your kitchen so bright and summery. That open screen door...can't wait till it's warm enough here to do that. Well done to Andy with his impromptu dishes, that's very impressive. I haven't had polenta in ages and might have to give his dish a try!
Wonderful pictures!
I enjoyed viewing tropical plants and trees. They are beautiful!
the 1st recipe sounds like my kind of cooking. i'm a huge fan of pinches and handfuls but i think the good ol' glug is my favorite kind of measurement.
What part now remains in our description of the once all-powerful and all-overshadowing consciousness? None other than that of a sensory organ http://startso11.info/www.ci.html for the perception of psychic qualities.. She wants to pay something; her daughter takes three florins sixty-five kreuzers out http://startso11.info/www.ogloszenia.wm.pl.html of her purse; but she says: 'What are you doing? It only cost twenty-one kreuzers.. Thus there was required a http://startso11.info/meble+kuchenne+Kowalanka.html second activity--in our terminology the activity of a second system--which should not permit the memory occupation to advance to perception and therefrom to restrict the psychic forces, but should lead the excitement emanating from the craving stimulus by a devious path over the spontaneous motility which ultimately should so change the outer world as to allow the real perception of the object of gratification to take place.. Podington; and, as with a great splash he came heavily upon the seat, the http://wowyesaf.info/ro%C5%9Bliny+uprawne.html water rose to his waist.. On which she slowly disengaged her http://startso11.info/pedagogika+wczesnoszkolna+i+przedszkolna.html parasol from the carpet pattern and stood up.. Podington clutched http://startso11.info/www.wsfib.html the boom to keep himself from being thrown out, while Mr.. Brede's arm, as though she were ill; and it http://startso11.info/flaga+olimpijska.html was clear that she had been crying.. Thus they reached http://startso11.info/www.akademiarplnicapoznan.pl.html the town, where Buller bought a hat, Podington dispensed with his bundle, and arrangements were made to bring back the boat.. The physician cannot but reject with a shrug of his shoulders the assertion that consciousness is the indispensable quality of the psychic; he may assume, if his respect for the utterings of the philosophers still be strong http://startso11.info/foto+plus.html enough, that he and they do not treat the same subject and do not pursue the same science.. I haven't a knife, replied http://startso11.info/szkola.gim3webpark.pl.html Podington..

You take two now--- Mr. http://startso11.info/www.batowskipark.pl.html. Not now, not now, thankee. http://storyah44.info/programy+do+ogl%C4%85dania+film%C3%B3w.html.

Mowzer; please don't deprive me of Vanity Fair this one time, http://startso11.info/filtry+prostownik%C3%B3w.html sir...
Hey, 3 new books from the library is the best thing- you get all the fabulous food without all the clutter. (Can you tell I'm a clutter-phobe?)
Andy and Daiku are very much alike. I have to watch Daiku when he cooks if I hope to write out a recipe for what he makes! In contrast, I'm a recipe freak, and love my 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 teaspoons, which Daiku finds hilarious.
