The Betty Crocker Project : Vegan Margherita Pizza

 

This morning I woke up to a man outside my window saying "C'mon Annie! Let's make a little progress girl... Make me proud!" 

Now this man was talking to his beagle mix who apparently was taking her own sweet time doing her business but the words spoke to me none the less. I have a lot things that need doing right now and should really being focusing on this so called "progress" I keep hearing about. Until then... Let's talk pizza. I do hope this pizza makes my random neighbor proud. I know we loved making and eating this little pizza like Jacques Cousteau loved the open ocean* and Thomas Edison loved jerking Nikola Tesla around. I guess I only have one more thing to say today : 

That'll do Pizza - That'll do. 

Holy Tofu Scramble Batman! 500 Vegans!

A wiseman once said "Life moves pretty fast - if you don't stop and look around once and awhile you could miss it."

I wanted to do something special when we hit our first 500 Followers, but it just happened before I came up with any real viable plan. I mean the last plan, which I was going to call Operation Land Shark, involved traveling the countryside delivering Candy Grams with a guitar all one-woman-band-style, but that idea may have to wait till we hit 1,000. I need to save up the vacation time and I have no idea how to play a guitar.

Until then this post goes out to the first 500 Followers of Meet The Shannons - a little blog that dared to ask the question : Can Betty Crocker's Big Red be Veganized?

You guys rock. This one's for you! Danke Schoen!



PS - Whenever I watch this I love the dancing construction worker. He's totally shaking what he got.

The Betty Crocker Project : Beer Batter-Fried Fish (Marinated Tofu) & Tartar Sauce

Sometimes you just get what you need.

The other morning I woke up and thought: "I'd love to watch a detective story that has something to do with submarines while I drink my coffee today."

And you know what? I stumbled across a random episode of a CSI-type of show with Mark Harmon as a Navy FBI/police-type-person (?) that... guess what? Solved The Mystery of the Sailor Swap on a submarine!

This morning I woke up and thought: "I think I need more Richard Dreyfuss movies in my life."

And Jaws was on! Yes, I know, it's like an X-file.

Last night, I needed to come up with a new plan for dinner because my Match Vegan Chicken wasn't defrosted... and there she was. A little, forgotten package of extra-firm tofu. She waved and said "Remember me? You were going to make me into vegan fish sticks!"

I smiled and thought, "I can do better than, that my little friend*."
