At least one more.
I am just so pleased with myself at the moment. Tonight I made the Seitanic Jambalaya from Veganomicon in just under an hour! The book gives it an hour and a half, and previous attempts
have seen me begging the rice to be plump and done after two and a half hours of simmering uselessly on the stovetop. Tonight, though, I nearly made this into an express meal!
Well, okay, let's not get out of control here. Besides, it's not like I did anything terribly innovative - I just used the same trick I've employed for other brown-rice-stovetop-simmering recipes - I cooked the rice separately and then added it to the pot. Ah, yes. The pot.
Another contributor to my success may have been the use of my beautiful 4-quart saute pan. Everything fit!
Speaking of perfect fits (and awkward segues...), I am so excited about a new development exactly halfway between the two center city locations of my company.
HipCityVeg is the new venture by Nicole Marquis, who was formerly the General Manager at my dear, departed, and sorely missed Horizons. I knew I was in love when I read a review that featured a casual mission statement from the proprietress: "I wanted to put Horizons on a sandwich." Um... you had me at Hello!
Great reviews abound and apparently there have been lines out the door since the place opened on Monday. I am hoping to stop by there for lunch tomorrow since I will be traveling from one store to the other and, like I said, it's mid-way. My mouth absolutely watered checking out the menu...
I'm putting my camera in my purse now and with a little luck (and probably a lot of patience), I'll finally have some food photos for you tomorrow (and of course, as detailed a review as I can muster!) Until then, chickpeas, take care!
