Oh. my. word. For so many reasons. One, I’m tired beyond words, so I’m going to leave it at that.
Two: Creamy, tasty miso tahini pasta with no dairy. Veeeeeegan!
I got the recipe, once again, from Daily Garnish.
Do I ever make recipes of my own? All the time. But as I’ve said before, I’m still too much of a flying-around-the-kitchen mess to stop and write anything down. Remember the sweet sesame tofu? That deserves a recipe, but it still hasn’t gotten one.
Anyway, totally make this. It’s a creamy sauce made with white miso paste + tahini and a bunch of fresh veg. I’m loving miso paste. (And mushrooms – when will this addiction go away so I can once again enjoy other things in life?)
Really simple. Toss it together, put it on a nice plate and set it on the nasty kitchen floor to take a picture.
Looks pretty good, and almost gives you the impression I had a lovely meal. It tasted nice, but I ate standing up in the kitchen at my trashed counter. Because I’m … what’s the word? Classy.
I tried to take a picture of myself enjoying my romantic solo meal at the counter, but it doesn’t work so well with a big DSLR. I might not attempt this again.
Or I could get a boyfriend, and have him take pictures of me eating every meal of the day. Because that’s not weird …
I need your help. I have a party coming up at my work, and we’re supposed to dress up in a costume with a movie theme. “Fancy dress,” as the Brits would say. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M GOING TO BE.
So far my best ideas included buying fat suit, a curly tail and painting myself pink so I could go as Babe, Pig in the City. I also thought about going as a piece of broccoli or a green bean, but then realized there aren’t any vegetable movie stars. Or are there …
Dear God, please help me.

Um, I figured the answer would be obvious. You’re going to be Katniss. I’m sure you have an old bow lying around somewhere, right?

Oh yeah that thought did cross my mind!! haha! I was worried people wouldn’t get who I was. Although if I happened to be able to get a Mockingjay pin, that could work? My hair might not be long enough either

Oooh!!! You could go as part of the movie making process, like a costume of film or a script, or editing software. Veggie-tales is a thing, right? Or Popeye with spinach. Costume themes are such fun!

Oh yeah, Veggie Tales! Ha! I’ll have to keep the blog world posted

Having someone to take pictures of you during meals is really the only reason for a boyfriend I can think of
Mmmm, tahini + anything equals delicious. And mushrooms in anything equals delicious, too, I just have to stop eating arugula long enough to buy something else at the grocery store.
Haha, I was definitely thinking Veggie Tales, too. Or you could go fruit and be Violet Beauregarde/A blueberry.

Lol!
Ugh … I shouldn’t respond to food blog comments at work on a 5 am shift. I’m too hungry thinking about mushrooms, “arugula,” etc. and now I can’t work.

Story of my life–get to work, start thinking about food. Dinner? Still 10 hours away.

I think we are kindred spirits– I cook awesome meals and then eat them standing up in my trashed kitchen on a regular basis. Pure class, indeed. I’m in need of good carb loading recipes right now, too, so I’ll be coming back to this one!

Ha ha, thanks! I’m glad to know other people can’t be bothered to walk to the dining room table either
