very cheesy

Saturday.
Just a lazy day hanging around the house and making cheese. I defrosted the soy milk I froze the last time I made cheese and apart from needing a blitz with the new bamix stick blender it is fine. I found some white truffle oil yesterday in Southport when I was looking for salt so was able to get it made finally. It is so yummy and exactly like the dairy version except much better because there is no  cancer causing casein or saturated fat. I will be making this a lot. I had enough milk to also make the Dill Havarti and used tofu to make the garlic herb Gournay. Both of these are absolutely delicious and will not last long.

Had this for dinner Friday night. Man that quinoa is so nice. I will have to use it more. Its quick to cook and has a wonderful crunch to it. Good for me too apparently :) gotta be happy with that. I stir fried a diced onion, added a couple of cloves of roasted garlic, crumbled up some firm tofu, a cut up capsicum and zucchini. Got all that cooked, added lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg and the quinoa. Cut up a little avocado and threw in some olives. Delicious.

Now Sunday.

Got up and made crumbly extra sharp white cheddar with the cashews I soaked yesterday. I was very surprised to find that the rejuvelac I made a few weeks ago is still good. It smelt like lemonade to me so I used it.  I also have the pickling onions soaking in brine to make pickled onions for DH for xmas. Shhh don't tell him he is getting homemade pickled onions for xmas. The man has everything else so I will now go down the food route when looking for pressies for him.
I was hoping to post a pic of dinner last night but the phone and the computer aren't on speaking terms. I think there were harsh words last night when the power kept tripping out during the storm. They will kiss and make up soon I'm sure.
Added a couple of new blogs to the Inspiring Vegans list over there to the right. makes for interesting reading.
