About 50 hours in, the tempeh is done and looking tasty.
#vegan #fermentation
The block of tempeh is fully filled in with mycelium, beans only sporadically showing above the white surface A quarter block of tempeh on my hand. The cross section shows dense white mycelium surrounding beans. It looks like a nougatty candy bar.

Dinner tonight was homemade pasta with a preserved lemon sauce (they were also homemade)
#vegan #cooking
A birds nest of pasta sits on a whole plate. It’s got a clingy yellow sauce. There are a few basil leaves scattered on top.

After about 30 hours the fungus is well established and producing enough heat to keep itself warm. Probably about a day until the tempeh is done.
#vegan #fermentation
The slab of tempeh is now looking like tempeh. There are beans visible but the bag is mostly filled with white fungus.

20 hours later, the tempeh is showing some nice fungal growth. It’s also got some condensation inside the plastic, which isn’t ideal—the danger of a PNW ferment. Let’s hope it dries out.
#vegan #fermentation
A plastic bag full of beans. It’s got barely visible white fungal growth, which looks more than anything like steam

It’s been a minute but I’m starting a new batch of tempeh. Chickpeas and red beans. Check back in 12-24 hours for updates!

Anyway, our thanksgiving plate was moderate but very delicious.
#vegan
A dinner plate with four neat quadrants. Roast purple Brussels sprouts, sliced turkey with sambal, mashed potatoes, and creamed kale.

I made the apple pie this morning. The crust is slumping off the pie plate because there’s so much butter in it. Less photogenic but more delicious. Look at that lamination!
#vegan #baking #pie
A pie. The crust is puffy and on the edge shows multiple distinct layers. It’s golden brown and somewhat untidy.

Purple potato and curry leaf bread
#sourdough #bread #baking
A half loaf of bread with four slices overlapping in front of it. The crust is a medium brown and looks fairly thin. The crumb is well aerated and has a slight blue tint.

Purity Ring’s current tour is amazing. Visuals that could work in a ten thousand person stadium, killer witchy bops, and… masking requested, with free ones hand stenciled by the band??

It’s #pizzursday

#vegan #baking #pizza
A pizza, sliced in four, on a red cutting board. The pizza has a puffy, bubbly crust. It’s heavily topped, with diced tomatoes, green onions, jalapeño, and pepperoni.

Setas at Bar Cid are the best vegan food in Logroño. And probably the best food in Logroño.

There’s that gender binary in action
A warning sign for cars: “atencion colegio”, which I think means “careful, middle school”. The graphic is a stick figure of a presumed little boy (shorts and no hair) running ahead and dragging a presumed little girl (skirt and ponytail) reluctantly behind him.

Some lovely tomato toast for breakfast today
#vegan #baking #bread
Two slices of bread on a plate. They’re slathered in mayo and covered in thin tomato slices. One set is red and one yellow.

Fresh spaghetti Sunday dinner! Dry farmed tomatoes, local basil, heirloom garlic(??!), a good way to usher out the weekend.
#vegan
A plate covered with seven little nests of fresh spaghetti. The spaghetti plated. It’s sauced with a huge bunch of chopped basil, some fresh tomatoes, and a good amount of hot olive oil wilting the previous items.

Translate app is having a stroke
Screenshot of Apple’s translate app. It’s translated « quelque chose tapi » as “something sturking”, surprising since “sturking” isn’t a word.
